Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Craig Swieton
Davidson Wildcats
Strength & Conditioning The Wildcats’ head strength and conditioning coach, Craig Swieton, carries out the goal of Davidson’s strength and conditioning program — to increase the strength, power, speed, conditioning levels and flexibility of all student-athletes, helping reduce the risk of injury. Each team’s program, specifically designed by Swieton, aims to improve the sport energy utilization system and to increase the strength and power to the primary muscle groups used in that specific sport. In the fall of 2005, Davidson opened the Ernie Doe Weight Room, a state-ofthe-art 5,000-square-foot facility dedicated to the needs of the college’s 21 varsity athletic teams. The weight room includes 16 power racks and eight lifting platforms, as well as other cutting-edge lifting and conditioning equipment to train the whole body. Prior to his arrival at Davidson, Swieton served most recently as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Central Michigan, where he was a graduate assistant as well from 2003-05. During his career, he also helped coordinate the strength and conditioning program at Duquesne. Swieton started his career as an intern at Syracuse in the summer of 2003 working with the football team. The Frankfort, N.Y., native earned a bachelor’s degree in applied exercise science from Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., in 2003. He was a member of both the football and track and field teams. Swieton is a member of both the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). Additionally, he is a level one certified club coach through USA Weightlighting. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport administration.

Academic Success
Academic Excellence
Davidson students explore the liberal arts curriculum in depth and enjoy close faculty collaboration. With 1,700 students, the college is large enough for a diverse and invigorating intellectual engagement, but small enough to foster individual experience and opportunity.
Davidson offers over 850 courses and supports 21 majors and 12 academic concentrations. Students may participate in pre-law, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry or dual-degree engineering programs or may design their own independent study classes or interdisciplinary majors. Students may also apply for funds to support research and travel, and many opportunities exist for summer research positions with Davidson faculty.
Personal relationships with professors and classes limited to 20 students allow for the development of creative, collaborative relationships resulting in a unique academic experience.
“The 450-acre campus has an Ivy League air, or perhaps a whiff of the ‘50s, from its location on Main Street to The Soda Shop across the road. Davidson is where the basketball coach lives next-door to the English professor and both are down the street from the athletics director. Stories are told of money found on the ground tacked to a tree or a bulletin board for the owner to retrieve. ” Well-known Alumni

The New Ivy?
Davidson College was recently named one of 25 “New Ivies” by Newsweek magazine, along with New York University, the University of North Carolina, Vanderbilt, the University of Virginia and UCLA. The magazine selected the schools based on admissions statistics as well as interviews with administrators, faculty, students and alumni.

Distinctly Davidson
A variety of options and opportunities set Davidson apart, including its strong Honor Code, committment to community service and Division I athletics:
Davidson’s historic and student-administered Honor Code offers both the freedom and responsibility of self-scheduled and unproctored exams. With the Dean Rusk International Studies Program, 12 Davidson-directed study abroad programs, and off-campus study programs in 17 locations worldwide, more than 70 percent of students graduate with experience abroad.
Davidson fields 21 NCAA Division I varsity teams, with athletes’ graduation rate at over 90 percent, just a few points higher than the rest of the student body. Davidson’s scholar athletes are well known for having the heaviest luggage of any team on the road—bags full of books and notes.
Affordability
Davidson is a national leader on affordability initiatives, with need-blind admission and meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need with a combination of grants and student employment. In a ground-breaking initiative known as the Davidson Trust, Davidson was the first liberal arts college to eliminate the loan component in financial aid packages.
Davidson believes that its educational offerings should be affordable for every admitted student, regardless of a family’s financial means. Thanks to Davidson’s commitment to need-blind admission, a student’s character, accomplishments and academic potential are the only factors in the decision— not ability to pay.
23 Rhodes Scholars
Davidson counts 23 Rhodes Scholars amongst its alumni. Established by the late Cecil Rhodes in 1902, the prestigious scholarship provides support for study at England’s Oxford University for students from around the world who are outstanding intellectually, and show qualities of moral leadership and social purpose.
“Unless you are a fan of Gonzaga, Georgetown, Wisconsin or Kansas, you fell stone-cold in love with Davidson this March. Real scholar-athletes representing a tiny school from a low-profile league. A self-effacing star whose shooting was nothing short of thrilling. A coach who personifies class. Trustees willing to dig into their own pockets to pay for students to come from North Carolina to Detroit to witness this.” Pat Forde, ESPN.com

RICHARDSON STADIUM
WELCOME TO SMITH FIELD AT RICHARDSON STADIUM
Originally built in 1924 and recently expanded to accommodate 4,500 fans, Richardson Stadium is home to Davidson football. On Sept. 10, 2005, Davidson dedicated the most recent renovations and additions to Richardson Stadium. With the addition of the Wilson Terrace, Ernie Doe Weight Room, Hubbard Family Locker Room and Don Bryant Press Box, Richardson Stadium offers a terrific venue to watch college football in its finest and purest form. The weight room, located beneath the newly-constructed stands, has 5,000 square feet of space, and the press box gives a terrific vantage point for the media to watch and report on the game. Richardson Athletic Field debuted in the fall of 1923, and it contained two football fields, a baseball diamond and a quartermile cinder track. Vines were planted on a wire fence that surrounded the field, and bushes were set both inside and outside the fence. Henry Smith Richardson ’06 and Lunsford Richardson, Jr. ’14 donated the facility, which was named in honor of their father, Lunsford Richardson, Sr., Davidson class of 1875. In 1924, the stadium portion of the facility was built of brick and concrete construc-
14
tion, which had room for 8,000 fans. Temporary bleachers were added in the end zones through the years to inflate the capacity from 10,000 to 11,000. In 1965, renovations to the stadium included a dressing room for the visiting team, fiber glass seats and a glass-enclosed press box where it remains to this day. A major overhaul to the facility occurred during the summer of 1991. The field was renovated and expanded so soccer could be played in the stadium, the permanent seating capacity was reduced to 6,000 and lights were installed. The NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship was hosted by Davidson at Richardson Stadium for three consecutive years (199294), launching the College Cup to national attention. In 1994, the tourney drew a thenrecord crowd of 23,818 people in two days. In the summer of 1999, the Irwin Belk Track, featuring an eight-lane, 400 meter, polyurethane track, replaced the old cinder track, which had been reduced to four lanes with the expansion for soccer. A year and a half later, the Wildcat track team hosted the Davidson Relays, the first track meet in Richardson Stadium in years. The field itself was overhauled as well in 1999 and was renamed the Stephen B. Smith Field in honor of the trustee and former Wildcat football standout.
2008 DAVIDSON FOOTBALL
SEASON PREVIEW An overview Tripp Merritt’s goal to make Davidson a consistent championship contender in the tough Pioneer Football League has progressed to the point that the Wildcats have an excellent chance in 2008 of fielding their third straight winning team. With eight starters back on both offense and defense, including a recordsetting, experienced quarterback, Davidson has more than a fighting chance to compete successfully against the best in the PFL. After going 4-6 and 1-2 in the PFL with his first Davidson team, Merritt’s program has put together successive 6-4 seasons that includes a cumulative 9-5 record within its conference. That’s pretty heady stuff around here – and this could be Merritt’s best Davidson team. Of course, trying to predict a college football season is akin to forecasting mountain weather. The whole picture can change in a matter of minutes. For Davidson, as with most teams, a key will be the health of the team over the long season. If the Wildcats can somehow escape serious injuries to key players, this has the possibilities of a season to savor. There is cautious enthusiasm in the Davidson camp. No cockiness, but a quiet confidence is present. The Wildcats believe in themselves and the approach they take to winning. “We feel we’ve closed the gap on some of the Pioneer League’s best teams,” Merritt said. “Our kids are at the point now that they think they can compete with anybody.” Veteran defensive coordinator Meade Clendaniel is a football guy, careful with his words and not given to hyperbole. Still, he says, “I’d be disappointed if we’re not better than we were last year.”
Head Coach Tripp Merritt
DAV I D S O N W I L D C AT S. C O M
A new element is being introduced into the Davidson plan for the 2008 season. Mike Clark, Davidson’s talented offensive coordinator for eight seasons, left last winter to become head football coach at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., his alma mater. Taking his place is Ryan Heasley, who coached as an assistant at highly successful Division III Washington University in St. Louis. Heasley’s love for football, and his eagerness to teach it, overflows. He has the energy of a hummingbird and the toughness of a leather saddle. After going through his first spring practice with the Wildcats, Heasley was impressed. “Our kids are smart and have an excellent attitude,” he said. “We will be an up-tempo offense and our practices will be set on go, go, go.” The luxury of having 16 starters back should help the Wildcats weather a tough schedule that sees them play four of their first five games and six of their first eight on the road. The good news is that the last three games will be at home, at a time when the Wildcats hope to be in contention for a PFL championship. Davidson’s PFL road games will take them to Morehead State, Valparaiso, Drake, and Campbell. PFL home games will be against Jacksonville on Homecoming, and versus Dayton, San Diego and Butler. It’s a home schedule that should delight Davidson’s football community. Non-conference games for the ‘Cats feature games at UNC Pembroke and Lenior-Rhyne along with a November home game against Marist. Davidson’s offense will be led by senior quarterback Ryan Alexander, who is an extraordinary player. Clendaniel’s defense will be full of blitzes and surprises, with veteran players up front and less experi-

ence but good talent in the secondary. And the special teams, which are an important part of Davidson’s overall scheme, should again cause nightmares for opponents. Eighty-three players reported for August practice, as Merritt and his staff, featuring hard work and a positive outlook, have increased the number of players on the roster. The players came to camp in excellent shape and with high expectations. But let’s face it, almost all teams are optimistic and harbor lofty dreams in the preseason. Can Davidson get the job done on the field? Answers will unfold as the heat of September slowly turns into the cold of November. It’s a long season and there will be unexpected turns, but the Wildcats are excited. Here’s why. The offense Ryan Heasley, the new offensive coordinator, made a rather seamless transition from Washington University to Davidson. Both colleges feature small, close-knit communities and academic demands that are not compromised for athletes. Heasley knows all about winning, as he worked for head coach Larry Kindbom at Washington, who has put together 17 straight winning seasons. “The priorities at both schools are the same,” Heasley says. “Academics first, both schools get great kids who have a chance at a great education, and football is important at both places. I’m excited to be a part of the Davidson program.” That excitement is enhanced by the presence of Alexander, a 6-3 senior with a strong arm and a knack for making winning plays. He was injured in the season opener last year and missed the next two games. He came back packing the ferocity of a winter storm, passing for 2,238 yards and 18 touchdowns. He holds Davidson

SEASON PREVIEW career records for most passing yards, most total yards, most touchdown passes and most completions. He gives the ‘Cats a unique offensive weapon. “I love Ryan’s personality,” Heasley said. “He’s smart as a player, a real student of the game. He can help us get out of a bad play into a good one, so we can do a lot of changing with him in the game.” Experience behind Alexander is limited. Competing for time at backup QB will be two sophomores – Michael Blanchard, 6-2, and Rodney Lasher, 6-1. Blanchard did not play as a freshman, and Lasher played in one game, as a special teams player against San Diego. Both of these young men have talent, but are untested. One or two freshmen could also enter the competition for backup QB. Keeping Alexander healthy is a major goal for the 2008 Wildcats, and an offensive line that allowed only seven sacks a year ago definitely will come in handy. Heasley says his offense will be designed to fit the skills of his players, with as much balance between the run and pass as feasible. He will use multiple formations, shifts, put people in motion. Anything within reason to confound opposing defenses. “We want to be as multiple as possible,” he explains. “Our concepts are simple; our looks are complicated. We’ll go two backs, empty (backfield), five wides … whatever we have to do to move the ball. We will scheme to get our best players on the field. But I consider attitude to be as important as anything else that we feature on offense.” Heasley wants, and expects, mental toughness out of his players. He expects to have a resilient team, one that can bounce back from inevitable mistakes and move the ball.

Junior Kirk Benedict
One of Davidson’s goals under Coach Merritt is to be successful in running the ball against the best PFL defenses. Last year’s offense, with Alexander at quarterback and some dangerous receivers, gained 2,922 yards passing and a respectable 1,221 yards rushing. It produced 31.2 points and 414 yards of offense a game on average. The 2008 Wildcats will continue to throw the ball from all positions on the field, but they also have some running backs with complementary skills that make the outlook for the ground game bright. Three of them went into fall camp vying for playing time. Chad Barnes, 6-0, 195, senior, is hard-nosed and tough. He had 88 rushes last season for an average of 4.2 yards. Kenny Mantuo, 5-10, 185, sophomore, has vast potential. His 81 rushes last season produced an average gain of 3.9 yards. And Justin Williams, 5-9, 180, sophomore, is a blur with a lot of wiggle. He averaged 5.1 yards a rush last season in gaining 367 yards. “They are smaller kids who all give us something a little different,” Heasley said. “We’ll build packages that sometimes have two of them on the field at the same time.” The top two players at fullback going into pre-season were Kirk Benedict, 6-0, 235, junior, and Seyi Ayorinde, 6-1, 215, junior. Benedict started 10 consecutive games at fullback last season and demonstrated excellent blocking skills as well as an ability to pick up tough yards on short yardage situations. He also had 19 catches for an average of 9.2 yards. Ayorinde moves to fullback from tailback. He played in seven games in 2007, mostly on special teams. Going into the 2008 season, he has rushed the ball only once in his Davidson career. Davidson’s wide receivers are not

particularly big, but they have talent. Heasley says their ability to run precise routes and demonstrate toughness will be vital. He’ll play at least four veterans at wide receiver while also taking a look at some of the freshmen at the position. Kirk Konert, 6-0, 200, senior, has had an excellent Davidson career, including his junior season when he caught 27 passes for an average of 16.2 yards a catch. He’s an excellent athlete who also does most of Davidson’s punting. Another senior, Myles Potter, 5-10, 175, had 28 catches for 394 yards last season. When they line up opposite each other, they present Alexander with two inviting targets. Two other wide receivers will also get playing time this fall. Andrew Aldrich, 511, 190, junior, played in all 10 games last season and had 16 catches for 267 yards and a touchdown. Mark Hanabury, 5-11, 175, sophomore, played in five games as a freshman but will see more time this season. “In our up-tempo offense, we look to play all of them, and maybe some freshmen, too,” Heasley says of his wide receivers. The starter at tight end going into camp was D.J. Singleterry, 6-1, 230, senior, who had a fine junior season as Davidson’s starter. He has speed, excellent hands and caught 17 passes for 161 yards last year. His role might well be stepped up a notch this season. Of course, before anything positive can happen with the offense, the men up front must be exceptional. It’s often been said that offensive linemen don’t get their names called unless they’re caught holding, but they’re nevertheless crucial to any team’s ability to move the ball. Davidson’s line should be a good one, led by left tackle Will Nolte, 6-7, 320, senior, who is so impressive that many foot-

ball people think he’ll get a chance to play professional football after his Davidson career. “Will is as athletic as any offensive lineman that I’ve seen at this level,” said Heasley. “He’s a terrific player who leads by example.” The starting right tackle is expected to be Jason Perillo, 6-4, 290, junior, who is rather inexperienced but a hard worker who will get a chance to shine in a starting role. The center and two guards will be filled by four players who are described by Heasley as “tough guys on the inside who are very competitive,” and all four will see significant playing time. The center is Shane Purvis, 6-1, 285, junior, who started all 10 games last season. He has the savvy to handle the many reads that a center is expected to make. The left guard is Joe Tabler, 6-3, 330, junior, who played in nine games last season and started two of them. Mark Iafrate, 6-1, 280, junior, will be the right guard. He played in nine games in 2007 and started eight of them. Zenus Wilson, 6-3, 310, sophomore will see plenty of action and compete for a starting job as well. The offense has the potential to put up some lofty numbers. To realize that potential, Heasley says his unit must play at maximum efficiency on each snap. “I ask them to give me everything they have,” the first-year offensive coordinator says. “I want them to be coachable, take care of the ball, and play hard and execute from snap to whistle.” The defense If you’re looking for song and dance, for loquacity and French pastry, Meade Clendaniel isn’t your guy. But if you’re looking for a football man – a coach who knows his sport inside and out and loves coaching it – you couldn’t find anybody

better. This is Clendaniel’s eighth season as Davidson’s defensive coordinator. He’s coached under Joe Susan, Mike Toop and Tripp Merritt at Davidson and learned from each of them. He’s studied the great career of Penn State legend Joe Paterno. Clendaniel’s main focus is on team, and to build a team one must first share credit. That’s why any talk with Clendaniel about his defense begins with him heaping praise on his full-time assistant Brett Hayford. “Coach Hayford is my MVP,” Clendaniel says. “I don’t know what I’d do without him.”

Clendaniel and Hayford work together like hands on a clock at 6:30. Hayford coaches the defensive line and Clendaniel the secondary. They study film of each opponent for hours, looking for any little tendency that might help them win on Saturday. Davidson’s defense doesn’t usually have the biggest or fastest players on the field, so scheming intelligently and taking reasonable risks has to be part of the defensive package. Clendaniel and Hayford put those packages together. The Wildcats choose a 3-4 defensive alignment, because the scheme best suits their personnel. “The 3-4 allows us to

SEASON PREVIEW match any offense … triple option, spread, power-I, pro style,” Clendaniel explains. “We have smart football players, which gives us a chance to be very multiple on defense. We feature a lot of different coverages and fronts, and have many blitz packages.” Davidson’s defense yielded an average of 28 points and 395 yards a game last season in producing a winning record of 6-4. The Pioneer Football League has some offensive juggernauts, so defenses are going to yield some points and yardage. That’s understood. But it’s also believed, at least in these parts, that this year’s version of Davidson’s defense could be pretty stingy. Clendaniel watches his words carefully. But he looks at this group and says he’d be disappointed if they aren’t improved over last season. There are reasons for that optimism, plenty of reasons, and they begin with a talented, experienced front seven. Clendaniel admits to being “old school,” which means he wants to stop the run first while doing everything his defense can to get into the head of the opposing quarterback, to make him think instead of just playing. Davidson’s front three on defense should make running a chore for opponents, and is led by nose guard Will Funderburg, 6-1, 265, senior, who has started all 30 of his games as a Wildcat. He’s tough, disruptive to the offense, a leader. “He’s so outstanding that opponents have to game plan for him,” Clendaniel says. Funderburg will be joined on the defensive front by tackles Daniel Hauffe, 6-3, 245, junior, who started all 10 games last season, and Alex Griswold, 6-2, 235, junior, who started eight of the 10 games he played in last season. That’s three pret-

ty good football players who could cause opponents a smorgasbord of problems. The four linebackers are talented, smart, experienced and seem ready to make life miserable for opposing offenses. One of the most talented players on the Davidson team is inside linebacker Tyler Lemons, 5-10, 205, junior. He played in the secondary as a freshman, moved over to linebacker and seems primed to be a star. He had 44 tackles last season, and Clendaniel says matter of factly: “His potential is unlimited.” The other inside backer is Peter Bakke, 6-2, 210, senior, a second-team AllPFL choice who is a bloodhound on the field. He finds the football and makes plays. He started all 10 games last season, compiled 71 tackles including 2.5 sacks. “He’s smart, solid. You can count on him,” Clendaniel says. The outside linebackers also bring talent and experience to the field. Kwame Som-Pimpong, 6-0, 210, senior, is as fast as a prairie wind. He started 10 games last year, but it was his play in the last half of the season that has his coaches so excited. He had 47 tackles a year ago, 6.5 of those behind the line of scrimmage. The other outside backer is Will Pickens, 6-0, 225, junior. He played in all 10 games last season on defense and special teams. In addition to the talent and experience of those front seven players, Davidson’s depth there seems to be as solid as it’s been in years. The secondary is another story. There’s talent there, yes, but experience is lacking, and depth is not as prevalent as it is with the other seven positions on defense. Davidson lost three prominent senior secondary players from last season. Zach Long started at free safety, Patrick FitzGerald at one cornerback, and Jeff

Senior Peter Bakke
Scott was the nickel back. Talent is available to fill those positions, but inexperience could be a factor, especially early in the season. Free safety is crucial in the Davidson defense, because he’s the guy responsible for getting the defense in the proper alignment. His decisions have to be made in the heat of competition and always under the gun. Matt Guerreri, 5-11, 175, sophomore, will get the nod at free safety. “He could be as good as anyone I’ve ever had at that position,” Clendaniel said. “He knows our defense and makes most of our defensive 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 9.

adjustments. What he says on the field is law.” The strong safety is expected to be Matt Easton, 6-2, 215, junior, who averaged a whopping 7.1 tackles a game last season, which was good enough to rank as the second best average by a secondary player in the PFL. Easton also recorded two sacks last year, eight tackles for loss, and had an interception. One of Davidson’s starting cornerbacks will be Matt Mikrut, 5-9, 180, senior, who has made 19 straight starts. He had

31 tackles last season. The other cornerback position went into fall camp unsettled. Two players were neck and neck coming out of spring ball, and they could end up splitting time at the position this season. Brandon Giles, 6-0, 190, senior, played in all 10 games last season as a defender and special teams player. Harvey Kee, 5-8, 185, sophomore, played in five games in 2007. They’re both excellent players and between them hope to make this a position of strength for the Wildcats. Clendaniel is also not afraid to put freshmen on the field, once he thinks they’ve earned a chance. Three of them played a lot last season, and as sophomores should play more this year. They are inside linebackers Erich Crowson, 6-0, 205, and Daniel Astrop, 6-1, 205. Outside linebacker Andrew Wohler, 6-3, 210, also a sophomore, is also expected to get field time. “We have leaders at every position on this defense,” Clendaniel says. This could be a Davidson defense to remember. Special teams Head coach Tripp Merritt coaches Davidson’s special teams. He believes that they are so important that he devotes 20 to 25 minutes in each practice to them. “Special teams are usually on the field for 25 to 30 plays a game,” Merritt says. “They can win or lose a game for us.” Merritt tries to choose players for special teams that aren’t full-fledged starters. But when he can’t find the necessary talent among the rest of the roster, he doesn’t hesitate to put a starter in a special teams situation. “In choosing players for our special teams,” Merritt says, “I’m looking for players that work hard, have superb deter-

Sophomore Justin Williams
mination, give great effort and have the ability to run, hit and stay on their feet.” Merritt spends much time scouting other teams to see how his special teams should attack each week. He’ll take calculated risks, such as an onside kick here and there, and put on the punt block. His Wildcats have run or passed out of field goal and extra point formations. They blocked a punt that proved to be a crucial play in the 24-21 win over Drake last season. “I want opponents to have to spend practice time worrying about our special teams and what we might do,” Merritt reasons. Usually, Merritt finds about six players that play on all of the special teams – punt, punt return, kickoff, kickoff return, field goal, PAT, and defense against field goals and PATs. The ones who play on all of those teams are called “The Unit,” and are given skull and crossbones stickers for their helmets. After finding the nucleus of about six players that play on all the units, he mixes and matches to fill out the other positions. “We tell our freshmen that the quickest way for them to make an impression and catch our eye is to show up what they can do on special teams,” Merritt said. “It takes a lot of pride and focus to play in this role.” Davidson’s starting punter is expected to be Kirk Konert, who punted last season for a 38.2 average on 23 punts. Merritt likes to have an athlete at punter, which gives him a better chance to get out of bad situations, or to run fakes. Konert is a rugby type punter who can kick it on the run going to his left or right. Merritt believes in directional punting, as the best way for his team to keep returns to a minimum. Freshman Brenton Goodman, who is more of a conventional
Senior Kirk Konert
punter, might also see action this season as a punter. Davidson’s top man at returning punts and kickoffs will be running back Justin Williams. “He’s special,” says Merritt. “He can make you miss in a phone booth.” Davidson’s goal is to pick up a first down – 10 yards – on each punt return. Kickoffs, field goals and extra points will be handled by Ben Behrendt, sophomore, who had an excellent spring practice. Also getting a look here will be Bo Swanson, a 6-3 freshman with a strong leg. Merritt has a shoe box in the locker room, and he asks his players to write a note telling him why they should be on the kickoff cover team. He looks for players that can run, have the discipline to stay in lanes, can stay on their feet and get off blocks. He gets 40 or 50 applications for these jobs. “The answers they give me on that sheet of paper are important in me choosing members for the team,” Merritt says. “Special teams should be a weapon,” Merritt said. “That’s what we’re striving for. We may fake a punt, try an onside kick, put on an all-out punt block effort. The mantra for our special teams is, ‘Making Things Happen.’ “ Davidson’s goal for special teams: be aggressive, exciting, fearless, and make things happen that can help them win games. “We take a lot of pride in our special teams, and spend a lot of practice time on them,” Merritt said. “After all, those guys are on the field for about one-third of a football game.” Written by John Kilgo

HEAD COACH TRIPP MERRITT Guy “Tripp” Merritt, now in his fourth season as Davidson’s head football coach, never expected life would be easy. His experience in facing adversity head-on colors his outlook on everything, including his current job with all of its daunting challenges, which he views as opportunities rather than obstacles. Merritt was born with spina bifida occulta, which resulted in deformities in his lower spine and nerve damage in his left leg. To this day he has no reflexes in his left leg and back pain surfaces when he tires, sometimes causing a slight limp. His doctors didn’t have an optimistic outlook, certainly not for an infant who one day would dream of playing athletics at a high level. “He’ll never be able to run,” they told his parents. Merritt’s father was an assistant high school football coach and not one to give up hope easily. He worked with his young son, helped him improve his mobility and stamina. That and sheer determination allowed young Tripp to make his way onto the playing field as early as second grade – football, basketball, baseball. He played and loved them all. His athletic career continued at Burns High School in Shelby, N.C., where he lettered three times in football and baseball. He now runs three or four miles a day. Don’t tell him he can’t do something. Merritt will accept a dare, that’s for certain. A trend developed early in his athletic career. Never big enough or fast enough to challenge the best of the athletes he played with or against, his teammates nevertheless saw something in him that influenced them to elect him captain of every team he played on from middle school through his career at Burns High. He was a team guy, a leader, a young man who made his teammates want to get the most out of their ability. “At 5-7 and 152 pounds in high
42
school, I didn’t run very well,” Merritt said. “I wasn’t fast and not very good. My role was to lead, and my goal was simple. I wanted our team to win. I tried to make sure that every man on the team got his job done.” Even though he loved athletics and spent much of his childhood hanging around football fields where his father coached, Merritt thought his own career in athletics was over when he graduated from Burns in 1986. Time for the real world, he figured. He went to UNC Charlotte to pursue a business degree. His father pushed him in that direction, feeling it was in his son’s best interests. Tripp’s father didn’t find the pot of gold at the end of the coaching rainbow and eventually exited the profession to take a better paying job in textiles in Laurinburg, N.C. The elder Merritt wanted better things for his son, as all good fathers do. Tripp was in pursuit of a degree that would set him up in business. His head, and his father, told him that was the correct decision. His heart, however, wouldn’t turn loose of his longtime dream to teach high school history and coach. After fall classes at UNCC, Tripp spent afternoons at area high schools watching football practice. One of those
trips took him to Charlotte’s Garinger High School, where the head coach was Jimmy Teague. Teague was impressed with Merritt’s tenacity and presented an irresistible offer. “Come over and help us coach, but we can’t pay you anything.” It’s a deal. Merritt showed up at Garinger after his own college classes and went to the football offices in the field house. He watched tapes, immersed himself in football strategy, got ready for practice, and learned all he could from Teague and his assistants. Then he went to practice and worked with the players. The smell of the grass on an autumn afternoon, the popping of the pads, the beauty of watching good things happen when all members of the team were on the same page validated what he already knew. Goodbye business world, hello coaching. Merritt’s father was not happy, not initially. But that would change. Will Holthouser, an assistant football coach at Western Carolina who recruited the Charlotte area, met Merritt in 1990 and was impressed. The meeting resulted in Merritt joining the Western Carolina staff as a graduate assistant. How could Merritt possibly turn it down? A chance to live in beautiful Cullowhee, nestled deep and secluded in the North Carolina mountains. Not exactly the brightest stage for a young single guy. But if you want to coach, really want to coach, you’ll go where the jobs are. Even if the job description includes baby sitting, washing cars, teaching two physical education classes, going to school and coaching, all for the grand prize of $6,000 a year. That was Merritt’s deal at Western Carolina. He knew even then that young coaches who are picky end up selling insurance. Merritt did work towards his master’s degree at Western Carolina and found out for certain something that was even more important. “I knew I wanted to coach football.” He was in bed asleep in his dorm room at Western Carolina in May 1993 when the telephone rang. It was 5:30 in the morning. Dave Fagg, the head football coach at Davidson, thought everybody got up before the milkman. “I
2008 DAVIDSON FOOTBALL
HEAD COACH TRIPP MERRITT have a job opening and I want to talk to you about it. Can you be here tomorrow?” Before Merritt could say he needed more time, which was on the tip of his tongue, Fagg said, “Good. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Merritt spent the next day with Fagg in Davidson. Fagg could sell dayold, dry and crusty biscuits to a man dying of thirst. He put the fullcourt press on Merritt. At precisely 5:30 the next morning, Fagg called again. “I’m offering you the job but I need you here in two days.” Whoa! Merritt would have to close things out at Western Carolina, tell everybody he was leaving, find a place to live in Davidson, move all of his stuff, and attend to a hundred other details. He needed more time, but he needed a job more. He rushed his goodbyes, threw everything he owned — which wasn’t much — into the back of his car and headed down the mountain to Davidson. He knew virtually nobody, had no place to stay, but he had a job, even if he wasn’t exactly sure what it entailed. Davidson put him in the Hampton Inn in Cornelius, room 204. Temporary lodging. In this case “temporarily” totaled six months. Three weeks after making this big move, Merritt was told to meet Fagg in the hotel lobby. “I’m moving on,” Fagg informed him and defensive coordinator Tim Landis. Fagg gave up football for a job with the Davidson Athletic Foundation. Merritt worked for him for exactly three weeks. “I had no idea what was going to happen next,” Merritt recalls. Serendipity intervened. In the three weeks that Merritt had been at Davidson, he developed a close relationship with Landis. They talked football constantly. When Landis was named to succeed Fagg, it was an easy decision for him to keep Merritt on his staff. In the seven years they worked together at Davidson, Landis gave Merritt the chance to do things often reserved for the head coach. Merritt wore many hats: secondary coach, linebackers coach, defensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator. His defense was ranked among the best in the nation. The program produced eight victories in 1998 and again in 1999 while recruit-

ing the athletes and building the team that would eventually go 10-0 in 2000. Merritt followed Landis to St. Mary’s in California after the 1999 season. He served there for three seasons as recruiting coordinator, linebackers coach, and then assistant head coach and offensive line coach. Merritt went with Landis to Bucknell in 2003 and worked as associate head coach, defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. Bucknell went 7-4 in 2004 and ranked in the top 25 of the Football Championship series in scoring defense. Landis and Merritt were together for 12 seasons. They were successful at
three tough venues. When Mike Toop left the Davidson football job after the 2004 season, Davidson athletics director Jim Murphy wanted a coach who would be a good leader and flourish in the Davidson culture. He chose Merritt. While hating to lose Merritt from his staff, Landis wasn’t surprised that his friend was getting a chance to run his own program. “Tripp is an outstanding football coach who relates equally well to student-athletes, administrators and alumni,” Landis said. “His players enjoy going out and competing for him, and the success his program is having is evidence of that. Davidson has been a force to be dealt with each and every week in the very competitive Pioneer Football League, and I think 2008 will be no different.” Merritt says that his role model at Davidson is basketball coach Bob McKillop. “He has perfected the way to coach at Davidson,” Merritt says of the highly successful McKillop. “He has been extremely generous with his time in talking to me and letting me pick his brain. I’ve talked to him at length about his early experiences coaching at Davidson. I’ve learned a lot from him. I also watch as many of his practices as I can.” Merritt’s coaching philosophy was also shaped by reading and studying. He read a book by Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy and “The Carolina Way” by former North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith, whose summer camp Merritt used to attend. Smith’s mantra for 36 years as head coach was, “Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together,” which Merritt has posted on his locker room wall. Merritt wants Davidson football to win, of course. But he also wants it to be fun for his players and assistant coaches. “I

Last year’s team was known in inner circles as the “Junkyard games to put the field together, arranging the benches and the sideline yardage markers before heading off to the pre-game meal. “It’s a tradition here,” Merritt said, not resenting the menial tasks one whit. Merritt figures that as an assistant coach 80 percent of his time was devoted to football. Now that he’s head coach, he finds that reversed: 80 percent of his time is spent on administrative matters, putting out fires, speaking, alumni relations, dealing with the media. He coaches Davidson’s special teams, calling that part of his job his “football outlet.” He gives much freedom to his offensive and defensive coordinators and tells them that the X’s and O’s are their art form. They have the green light to coach and take risks. He’s not reluctant to make tough decisions, but he’s also secure enough in his own skin to delegate important tasks to his staff.

Cats,” because somehow, some way they’d find a way to win. Merritt has been named Pioneer League co-coach of the year once. His Davidson teams have produced records of 4-6, 6-4 and 6-4. He sees his program getting better and closer to challenging for a Pioneer League championship. “We’ve closed the gap on the best teams in the conference,” Merritt said. “We’ve beaten Drake and Dayton and Morehead State, and were real close last year (52-49) against San Diego. We have plenty of work to do, but we’re getting there. We have a chance to be an improved team this year, and expect to be. Our kids think they can beat anybody.” With eight starters returning on offense and the same number on defense, there is reason for such a bright forecast. Merritt and wife Sara are expecting their first child on Sept. 21. They make their home about five minutes from the Davidson campus. Merritt’s father died in May 2004. It was before Tripp became Davidson’s head coach, an accomplishment that would have pleased his father greatly. But he lived long enough to see his son progress rapidly through the college coaching ranks and become successful and happy in the profession. His initial disappointment of his son choosing coaching over business had long been replaced by pride in the achievement. From an infant whose doctors said he would never run to a head coach in college who is in a full sprint to make Davidson football competitive for Pioneer League Football championships. That’s Tripp Merritt, who’s living his dream and never takes anything for granted. He’s grateful for his lot in life and in turn tries to make his football program fun and a positive experience for all who join him on the journey.

2008 DAVIDSON FOOTBALL
PIONEER FOOTBALL LEAGUE The PFL, a non-scholarship NCAA FCS football conference, is one of only three conferences that sponsor football as its only sport. However, the PFL is a truly national conference with members on each coast and throughout the nation’s heartland — Butler, Dayton, Drake, Jacksonville, Morehead State, San Diego and Valparaiso. The 2008 season will be the first in the PFL for Campbell University, and Marist College will join the conference in 2009.
The 2008 season marks the 16th year for the Pioneer Football League, which returned to a non-divisional format in 2006 for the first time since the 2000 season, the year before Davidson joined the league. After five seasons playing a NorthSouth divisional format, the league saw its numbers reduced to eight after the 2005 season, and those remaining members voted to adopt a full-round-robin scheduling format for 2006. Additionally, the PFL champion participates in the Gridiron Classic versus the champion of the NEC.

ADMINISTRATION Jim Murphy Director of Athletics
Jim Murphy was introduced as Davidson College’s Director of Athletics in November of 1995, returning to his alma mater on the eve of its 100th anniversary of intercollegiate athletics. Prior, Murphy, 52, served as executive associate athletic director and chief financial officer for the Georgia Tech Athletic Association for 10 years. The Atlanta native played football and baseball during his freshman year, invaluable experience for guiding a program unique in its desire for excellence in athletics and academics with one of the smallest enrollments among NCAA Division I schools. Davidson’s NCAA graduation rate of 91 percent was the highest in Division I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and continues to be above 90 percent each year. “I firmly believe Davidson represents the ideal in college athletics and think the success of Davidson’s students, both in competition and after graduation proves that,” Murphy said. “It’s true that Davidson needs intercollegiate athletics, but intercollegiate athletics need Davidson even more.” Since Murphy’s return, the Wildcats have pursued several major capital projects, including the creation of the innovative $10-million Davidson Scholars Program, and major improvements have been completed in Belk Arena and Smith Field at Richardson Stadium. Murphy has overseen the construction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field, Alumni Stadium, Wilson Field and the football stadium expansion project, including a state-of-the-art weight room, new press box and additional permanent seating. Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/IAAA Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year, served two terms on the prestigious NCAA Division I Management Council. He chaired the Division I-AA Governance Committee and formerly served on the NCAA Division I Business and Finance Cabinet, the Division I Governance Committee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 2002-04, Murphy chaired the Athletic Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part of Charlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s Soccer Championships in 1999 and 2000 and served as Tournament Director of the first and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in Charlotte. A former member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and past president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association, Murphy was also a member of the NCAA Task Force on Recruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture of recruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’s Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Group. A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate of Davidson with a degree in economics, he earned a Master of Science degree in management from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as an audit manager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick in Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits of public and private companies with up to $1 billion in assets. Active in the community, Murphy is involved with Social Venture Partners — Charlotte, chairs the Board of Managers of the Lake Norman YMCA, the Board of Directors of the Charlotte Regional Sports Commission, served three years on the Board of the Charlotte Council for Children and three years on the Board of Directors of the Town of Davidson Youth Baseball League. Murphy is married to Dr. Susan Roberts, a political science professor at Davidson. His 23-year-old son, Matt, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, works in advertising in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Tom Ross Davidson College President
Thomas W. Ross became Davidson’s 17th president Aug. 1, 2007, after three decades of leadership and public service in North Carolina. Ross graduated from Davidson in 1972. He graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Law, taught at the University’s School of Government, joined a Greensboro law firm and served for one year in Washington, D.C., as chief of staff of a congressional office in the decade after. In 1984, Governor Jim Hunt appointed Ross as Superior Court Judge, a position he held for 17 years, and at the time, he was the youngest in the state. In his work adjudicating felony cases, Ross became familiar with a state justice system that suffered shortcomings from uneven sentencing and a burgeoning prison population. In 1990, the N.C. Chief Justice appointed him to chair a new Sentencing and Policy Advisory Committee. For two years the 23-member panel worked to create a structured sentencing system that was eventually accepted by the legislature and became a model for similar programs nationwide. For his efforts, Ross received the William H. Rehnquist Award for Judicial Excellence from the National Center for State Courts. Chief Justice Rehnquist, now deceased, presented the award personally to Ross in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court. In 1999, North Carolina Chief Justice Burley Mitchell appointed Ross as director of the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts. After running the North Carolina Court System for nearly two years, Ross was invited by the trustees of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to become the Foundation’s executive director. His seven years at the Foundation involved him in statewide issues and policy, advocating for legislative reform and creating coalitions of non-profit agencies to increase their influence in public affairs. Since becoming president of Davidson College in 2007, Ross has begun an ambitious strategic assessment process, initiated campus-wide discussions of diversity and inclusivity, and announced the name of The Davidson Trust, the college’s historic financial aid program that replaced loans with grants in all financial aid packages. Ross married the former Susan Donaldson in 1972, and they have two children, Mary Kathryn Elkins ‘01 and Thomas W. Ross, Jr. ‘99, both Davidson graduates.

The History of the Wildcat
On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 football players traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson College against Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in the South. The Plainsmen had massacred their first four opponents, outscoring teams, 141-6. According to one account, they were “big, quick, and undefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup. Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 pounds less. Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, outgaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91 yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offensive attack through the efforts of running back A.R. “Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, delivering a “bewildering array of forward passes.” Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in

the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that captured the awe and respect of Atlanta sportswriters. They wrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College, whose small stature and ferocious style proved overwhelming. One account notes that Morgan Blake of the Atlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team, “No other team ever put together in these United States of the same weight as Coach Fetzer’s team could ever get the verdict over the flock of wild men from North Carolina.” The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and it has been used ever since, replacing former, milder references such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and “Preachers.” — revised and rewritten from an account in the Davidson College archives
