Moving forward ATN's take You got our take last week on who the winners would be and all eight did win, but there's a lot more behind Saturday's games to look at. Among the eight teams that lost on Saturday, there's bound to be a difference of opinion in terms of how these teams view their 2007 season. Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman take a look at two in particular to see what this season will do for them in the future. More in this week's Around the Nation podcast. This week features playoff rematches between St. John Fisher and Mount Union as well as Mary Hardin-Baylor and Wesley. Are these games going to be just like last year? What's changed on each side that could affect the nature of the East and South regional finals? More in the podcast. For more playoff coverage, scroll down.

Kalamazoo coach steps down Kalamazoo coach Terrance Brooks announced his resignation, effective immediately. Brooks leaves Kalamazoo after three seasons to pursue other career opportunities. Eric Soulier, Kalamazoo College assistant coach since 2004, will direct all football operations until a new head coach is in place. A search will begin immediately. "I am grateful to Kalamazoo College for the opportunity to be a college head coach,” Brooks said. “I appreciate the efforts and hard work of the players and coaching staff the past three seasons.” Brooks was named Kalamazoo's 24th football coach on Jan. 18, 2005. He recently completed his third season with the Hornets, compiling an overall record of 7-21 (5-16 MIAA). In 2005, his first season as head coach, Brooks led the Hornets to a 4-6 record (a three-game improvement over the previous year) and an undefeated home record. “We appreciate coach Brooks’ commitment to our students, both on and off the field. He cares about them and their success,” said Kristen Smith, Kalamazoo athletic director. “We wish him the best in the future." “I am pleased that Eric Soulier will oversee the operations of the football program as we search for a new head coach,” Smith said. “As a 2000 graduate of Kalamazoo College and a two-sport athlete (football, baseball), Eric understands and has a passion for the college which allows us to maintain a high level of consistency during this transition period.” Kalamazoo president Eileen B. Wilson-Oyelaran said, “We are very sorry to see coach Brooks leave the College. He has been an outstanding role model for our scholar athletes on the field, in the classroom and across the campus. “Kalamazoo College is strongly committed to the football program, and we will begin immediately a search for a new head football coach.” Kalamazoo lists just 45 players on its 2007 roster. | |||
