    Answer1: The Football coaching staff list still needs updating. There is currently only 3 communications people right now and it's a busy time of the year. So they will get to it as soon as they can. Answer 2: Yes: I write about Fighting Hawk Football! There just hasn't been too much Football to talk about. But I plan on doing a Spring game Special! Which I'm excited about!

      The previous Sports Communication Specialists all had their reasons why they left. But If I ever took the job as Sports Communication Specialist I would keep it! I love sports writing and being involved with Sports!

      Answer 1: Maybe they had personal things come up or other job opportunities came to their interest. On my count 6. Answer 2 The department probably polished the title to fit with their sports specialty.
