After 24 years 0f coaching at his beloved alma mater, Coach Dave Brandt has decided it was time to move up the ranks and head to Division 1 Navy.
Now this is a story…..Here’s a guy who played for this small D3 Christian College in Pennsylvania, graduated in 1985 and has only led his team to six National Championships.
Dave Brandt may not be a household name in college sports, but believe it or not, this guy leaves Messiah as the winningest coach of men’s soccer in NCAA history. He will need to bring some of that magic pixie dust with him to the Naval Academy who finished 4-11-3 in 2008 and has posted a losing record of 24-34-9 over the past four years.
The new Messiah head man is yet to be named, but many are speculating that the job will go to seven year assistant coach, Brad McCarty. McCarty is another Messiah alum, and does have some head coaching experience at the juco and D2 levels.
No matter who takes over this storied program, you can bet that the Falcons will once again be a force to be reckoned with in 2009.
