Fired Army coach Jimmy Allen reportedly will land as an assistant coach under his good friend Nathan Davis. Kind of wild to have two of last year's Patriot League coaches on the same staff.

Also some are saying Paulsen is hiring Bryson Johnson. It's one thing for Paulsen to coach there...makes me grimace to see former Bison stars on league rival benches! Of course, it's certainly a testament to our program.
Interesting tale about Bryson via Bison137 posting at Crossports:
"For those who are interested, there is a story behind Bryson getting the PhD from George Mason. He had spent a couple of years as a graduate assistant at GMU well getting his masters, and then took a job as an assistant coach at Brown. He intended to stay in that position, but Brown bungled and didn’t re-file the paperwork for him to stay in that position, being a Canadian citizen.
They tried for months and hired an attorney, who specialized in that field, but still couldn’t resolve the issue. Thus Bryson could not continue as a coach, and returned to GMU as a graduate assistant while he pursued a PhD. After a year in that role, GMU had obtained the govt permission (green card?), and he became an assistant coach his final year there."

For those who don’t know, Allen and Davis were assistant coaches together for 5+ years at Navy under Don Devoe prior to ND’s stint as an assistant for Flannery.

1. Bryson is officially onboard at HC. Named an Associate Head Coach. Interesting that he is starting at that level while DP took over three years to promote Dane Fischer, who had about the same qualifications as Bryson does now, up to that title. At the very least, Dane being mostly responsible for landing Mike Muscala should’ve earned him a promotion by itself. Add in the other key recruits that he landed the first few years and a promotion should’ve been obvious.
2. At least two sources have reported that Bryson’s successor at Vermont will be his older brother Nathan. Nathan has worked a number of jobs in Canada for over a decade as a high school coach, college assistant coach at a couple of spots, and AAU coach. Also worked for a while in China.
