In five seasons at St. Pius, Standard has compiled a record of 35-20, with three state playoff births. His 2003 squad advanced to the state quartefinals. The Golden Lions finished the 2005 season with a 5-5 mark.
Standard is a St. Pius alum ('80) and attended The Citadel. The experiences of attending a Catholic school and a military school make him a natural fit for BC. He is also a young guy who could commit several years to the job. I am suspicious, though, of why he would want to leave his alma mater.
I would be content if BC went with Standard. He is not my first choice, but he does have an awesome mustache.
The same unconfirmed source reports that former Statesboro coach, Buzz
Busby, will interview later this week. Busby's tenure with the Blue Devils ended prematurely and on bad terms after the 2003 season. This article explains what happened. Busby was 55-11-1 in five seasons at Statesboro. His 2001 team won the state championship, his 2000 and 2003 squads finished as runners-up.Busby has the most impressive resume of the alleged applicant pool. He is a little old, though. Can he give BC a 7-10 year committment? Will his hardnosed style attract more kids to the team or drive them away? Will he be able to recruit the public schools? Those are my concerns.

I went to Tech with a few Pius people, and before Standard got there, the football team was pretty much a joke. They hadn't made the playoffs or beaten Marist in years, now they do. I remember reading about why the Boro coach was let go, sounded like it was some major bull shit at the time.
Apparently this "kadetman" on GAVSV is chummy with someone on the search committee. He is saying that Coach Standard really impressed the panel. He also says that Standard's parents live in the Landings. Pat, maybe you can verify this.
I have no idea. I wonder if the panel made him take a Standardized test.
