FIU football coach Strock to resignBY PETE PELEGRIN

Florida International University football coach Don Strock, whose team is 0-9 and mired in the longest losing streak in the team's young history, will resign after the season.

Strock, who has a 15-38 record since the Golden Panthers began playing in 2002, will coach the team's final three games, starting with Saturday's home game against Louisiana-Lafayette.

Strock, a former Dolphins quarterback, was named FIU director of football operations in 1999 and head coach in 2000.

The Golden Panthers have played solidly defensively this season but the offense is ranked near the bottom of most NCAA Division I categories.

I'm COMPLETELY SHOCKED BY THE TIMING OF THIS?????

Why would he not wait until the end of the season?

Furthermore I cannot believe he's coaching the final three games?

The Cajuns are about to be the answer to a great trivia question: what team play two consecutive games against lame-duck coaches? I doubt anyone else ever has.

They may be the only team to lose to two lameduck coaches.

Any truth to the new rumor MM is on a jet to FIU to offer money so he can demand DD be hired

Aren't they ranked higher than us offensively?

I don't blame Strock for the team's record...he did have a 'very difficult situation' to handle day in and day out.
