This is from the press release when Ojong was announced as the CBs coach at APU in 2017 (https://letsgopeay.com/news/2018/7/26/a ... h=football)
"Rod Ojong is an unbelievable football coach," Healy said. "He has great knowledge, he relates really well to the players; he develops deep, genuine relationships with them, they respond to him. He's energetic, he's passionate.

"He comes highly recommended. I had more phone calls from big-name guys about Rod than I had for probably anyone else. I've been extremely impressed with what he's brought to the table."
I also wonder whether this potentially opens up some new recruiting grounds. Ojong played and coached at Monmouth (not the FCS Monmouth), which is in Illinois. He also coached at Memphis, Lindsey Wilson College and Austin Peay. Furman does not spend a lot of time in Northwest Tennesee/Kentucky/Illinois, but that seems to be where his coaching roots are most deeply planted.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
