Yeah it strikes me as a bit odd considering how long he has been there, especially since the release makes it seem like it wasn’t his choice.
Much deeper issues then public knowledge and is and should only be known in the coaching circle, Eric is a great guy and did really well there for many years
Love this for Jeremy and John, 2 fantastic hires and inner promotion is something we do not see enough of!!

Wow, Seth Roland is one of the good guys. And he's done some good things with a tiny budget. I remember way back when, Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley speaking very well of him. The press release on FDU's site certainly makes it sounds like this was not something that Roland did of his volition. Seems a very odd time to fire a college soccer coach. Like, if you want a guy gone, sure, that's understandable. It happens and least shows you care about soccer. But why fire a coach two months before players report for preseason?
After Rowland sued FDU in 2022 for threatening not to extend his contract because he protested a reduction in scholarships, it was only a matter of time. That relationship had to be on thin ice.
New fiscal year starts 7/1 so they didn't want to pay the current coach through the end of the year... and FDU does not care about soccer.
Chris Grassie, Marshall HC contract extended 6 years. Current contract runs until 2025. 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 ✍️Head Coach Chris Grassie has signed a contract extension through 2031!#WeAreMarshall pic.twitter.com/ekVdxlXFz1— Marshall University Men's Soccer (@HerdMSoccer) June 12, 2024
Great news for 22-year old English, German and Brazilian players who can't get a good pro deal back home.
Four now have MLS contracts (starting goalie Philly Union) and eight others have USL or USL1/NextPro contracts in less than two recruiting cycles. Not bad for a school that from 1979-2016 had a total of 26 players sign a pro contract somewhere. And if you are going to complain about international students, why not do the same for the blue bloods that take MLS Academy kids. They take the kid that has signed a futures contract that have no place on the pyramid. And Grassie signs internationals but he signs college age internationals. The oldest player on the Marshall roster right now is 22 and he won't be 23 until a day after the season fanale against WVU. The oldest player on the national championship team again was 23, Jan Erik Leinhos turned 23 the day of the game again UNC (College Cup simis).
Holy Cross has hired Union's head coach, Matt Brown as its new head coach https://unionathletics.com/news/202...s-head-soccer-coach-to-take-d-i-position.aspx Interesting hire, since it's not like the Union job would normally be considered a stepping stone among D3 schools to a DI head coaching job, although he does have DI experience as an assistant at Bucknell and Elon among other places.
