Author Topic: Archer resigns as defensive coordinator eleem Player Member # 884 posted 01-09-2007 10:46 PM                     Mike Archer, defensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky, has resigned in order to accept another coaching position. Archer has been the defensive coordinator at UK for the past four seasons, working to build a unit that has been challenged by low scholarship numbers, injuries, and inexperience. Archer's patient building began showing signs of improvement during the 2006 season, as the Wildcats posted an 8-5 record, including a 28-20 victory over Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl.

An article in the Kentucky Kernel indicated that while he had interviewed at NC State, Archer declined to reveal the school he had accepted the job with. Thus, my question "Why the secrecy?" -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13672 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged Brandon Player Member # 108 posted 01-10-2007 10:07 AM                     Well, it's confirmed now that Archer is going to NC State. This football season just keeps getting better, even after the games are completed. -------------------- Safety and peace be with you always.

I hope he does well and wish he would have stayed here, however with all the flak he took from some of the fan base one can hardly blame him... -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catlogic15 Player Member # 1227 posted 01-10-2007 03:38 PM                    I was one that garnered more respect for Archer as the season progressed. Definitely there was improvement. I'm sure someone of immense credibility will take this job and impress current recruits. We're SEC Baby!!!!!!!!

To think that what we post here has an appreciable effect on coaching is the height of self-importance and an evasion of reality. -------------------- "The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson Posts: 7875 | From: Boquete, Panama | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged
