Lincoln closing in on new football coach

LOWER OXFORD, PA – The 2013 football schedule was released in late March and spring practice concluded late last week -- but Lincoln University still doesn’t have a head coach. That could change very soon, however, perhaps as early as today.

According to athletic director Dianthia Ford-Kee, Lincoln has offered the job to one of three unnamed finalists but is still awaiting a decision.
 
“We made an offer Tuesday and we are giving that person a few days to think about it and get back with us,” said Ford-Kee, who is in Petersburg, Va., attending the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Spring Sports Championships. “We have not gotten a written response back yet. I am hoping we will get a response by (today).”   
 
Last January, Ford-Kee said that the university hoped to have a head coach in place for the start of spring practice in late March. The process has taken much longer, but Ford-Kee said that finding the right candidate superseded any immediate timetable.
