The forum was designed in an effort to bring minority football coaches closer to the mindset of athletics directors who ultimately hire head football coaches.
"It is my hope to continually gain knowledge of the hiring process," McInerney said. My experiences as a 28-year veteran in the coaching ranks have given me a unique perspective. This forum will provide an even better understanding of the intricacies of the hiring process. It will also allow me to teach my assistant coaches and student-athletes in a more fruitful manner, thus making me a more successful coach."
The NCAA Champions Forum will take place June 18-19 in Orlando in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Convention (NACDA). Its goal is to link coaches with athletics directors who can provide insight on their hiring philosophies.
Central Connecticut will open the 2009 season at Lehigh on Saturday, Sept. 5. The game will start McInerney's fourth year as CCSU head coach.
