#1: Mary names Cal Poly Humboldt AD Jones to the same position with the Marauders. Mary President Monsignor Shea: "Ten months can seem like an eternity, especially in the world of athletics. When we started this process, we knew we couldn't settle on just any candidate. We needed to be diligent, methodical, prayerful, and deliberate in our search. Above all, we needed to exercise one of the most important of virtues — patience — not as a sign of weakness but as a signal of strength. Well, the wait is over, and an exemplary servant leader is on his way. We believe Cooper is the right person at the right time to lead us through our Greatness through Virtue Strategic Plan and capital campaign, which is truly a new era for Marauders athletics. His devotion to our Christian, Catholic, and Benedictine mission, his attention to detail, and his leadership experience at the collegiate level is impressive and visionary." (link)
