SIU Director of Athletics Tommy Bell announced Monday that football coach Dale Lennon has been fired.

The team finished 3-8 this season, the worst finish since going 1-10 in 2001.

Lennon was hired as head coach on Dec. 27, 2007.

The Salukis had a 51-42 record in Lennon’s eight seasons. He led SIU to the Missouri Valley Football Conference titles in 2008 and 2009 — his first two seasons — with a combined record of 20-5.

After the 2013 season Lennon’s Dawgs were 42-28, a .600 winning percentage, “He’s the guy who gave me my the best in school history through a opportunity, so I have respect for coach’s first six seasons.

Lennon and his staff. Today in the “Dale and his staff directed the game of football, people want wins, program with class and integrity,” Bell said in a press release. “After a great people want to make the playoffs, deal of thought and consultation, I people want to see you do well.” determined it was time for a change in - Thor Hadfield the leadership of our football program.”

Former SIU long snapper Lennon will receive $55,000 as a buyout agreement per his contract terms.

“It has been a privilege to coach this team,” Lennon said in the release. “I have greatly appreciated the support of so many members of the SIU administration, athletic department, faculty and staff, alumni and student body.”

Bell will have a press conference at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Tedrick Auditorium to officially announce the dismissal and discuss the future of the program.

Junior inside linebacker Chase Allen said Lennon and Bell brought the team together Monday to tell them of the decision. He said an interim coach should

be decided by Tuesday and a permanent replacement could be chosen by Christmas.

“There’s not much we do with coaches at this point in the year,” Allen said. “It’s all “It has been a privilege to coach business now.” this team.”

Former SIU walk-on long snapper Thor - Dale Lennon Hadfield said he respects Lennon, but he also understands the athletic program is a business.

“He’s the guy who gave me my opportunity so I have respect for Lennon and his staff,” he said. “Today in the game of football people want wins, people want to make the playoffs, people want to see you do well.”

Hadfield is still pursuing a career in the NFL. Former SIU running back Malcom Agnew said Lennon cared about players and didn’t make the game about himself.

“I think people don’t realize firing is really tough, not only on the coach, but also on the families,” he said.

“His family might have to pick up and move. I just hope everyone finds another job.”

University plans for drone cage at airport ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

Students may soon have the opportunity to step into a large enclosure designated to fly drones.

Southern Illinois Airport, where the university’s aviation school is located, plans to construct an unmanned aerial vehicle enclosure for education purposes, research and UAV testing, said SIUC alumnus Nathan Wambold.

The university has requested a permit to fly drones and is developing a class in the aviation school to further support UAV use on campus.

Wambold used a camera mounted to a drone to create a video of SIU before the university announced outdoor UAV use on campus was prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration. He said this created interest in the potential benefits of drone use on campus.

Wambold said he collaborated with the airport and aviation technology faculty to discuss how to bring UAV technology to southern Illinois.

He said Gary Shafer, Southern Illinois Airport Manager and visiting assistant instructor of Aviation Management and Flight, asked him to demonstrate UAV use to aviation technology students.

“There is great promise for economic development, research and education,” Wambold said.

If all goes according to plan, the Southern Illinois Airport will have a newly constructed designated drone zone on its property, Wambold said.

Although they share the same space, the airport is a separate entity from the university’s aviation program.

The enclosure will use 50-foot telephone poles to connect drapes and golf netting. People may fly drones, with permission, inside of the roofed structure.

“Think of a batting cage on steroids,” Wambold said.

Andrew Craig, assistant instructor of aviation technologies, said UAV use inside the facility is allowed because the FAA has no jurisdiction over enclosures not in the national air space.

He said he hopes the cage

Anna Spoerre | @ASpoerre_DE Stakes outline the proposed construction site of an unmanned aerial vehicle enclosure funded by Southern Illinois Airport. The drone cage, anticipated to be 50 feet tall, would give aviation students the opportunity to operate drones in a controlled facility.

will eventually supplement a flying field. However, UAV use outside of an enclosed space is not allowed at this time.

“The FAA is not making this easy,” Wambold said.

According to FAA policies, educational institutions have to undergo an application process specific to the university, departments and programs.

“The industry is moving at a much quicker pace than what the government regulations have moved,” Craig said.

In the meantime, Craig said the FAA and Department of Transportation have proposed rules for individuals registering drones.

New drone owners may be required to provide their name and address to the FAA as early as this holiday season so they can be tracked and identified if needed for safety purposes, according to an article by the Washington Post.

“It’s a very hot topic right now,” said Craig, who predicts more rules and regulations will be established

in the next year.

Nolan Fassett, a freshman from Geneseo studying aviation technologies, said part of his decision to come to the university was influenced by his interest in drones. Fassett, who owns a drone, said he thought the university’s aviation program would be one of the leaders in implementing drone use on campus.

Fassett said rules have to be put in place for drone use to continue, but admitted to pushing boundaries with his drone.

“When you buy a drone, you become a pilot,” Fassett said.

He said every person who uses the technology should have a good understanding of how it works.

Craig said he recently submitted course paperwork to begin an introductory drone class that covers history, rules and regulations.

The course will be open as early as summer intersession next year and Craig said access to the cage would benefit his coursework.

Craig said he is waiting for the

university to finalize UAV-use policies to begin the class. He said the university is focused on risk management and insurance concerns.

In the meantime, plans for construction are underway. Craig said he hopes progress begins within the next few months.

Wambold said he is using his experience as a drone operator to work with consultants and get cost estimates for the project.

“It’s been a collaborative effort among a number of different parties: alumni, different departments, local politicians and developers, and in particular, the airport,” Wambold said.

He said in the future the facility may be used for testing, demonstrations, races or even rented out to the public.

“I want to see the university and region get on board with the opportunities that this industry can provide,” Wambold said.

SIUC forestry grant awarded, but no money given CORY RAY | @coryray_DE

A $79,000 grant awarded to SIUC has not been distributed because of the lack of a state budget.

The grant would cover the Illinois Forestry Development Council director’s salary. The council has 29 members and represents various groups and issues in the forestry industry, including state landmanagement agencies, woodland owners and farmers.

William “Bill” Gradle had served as the council’s director since June 2014, but was laid off in August

because of the budget impasse. He said his salary was paid through the grant for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015.

Jim Zaczek, chair of the department of forestry, who applied for the grant, said they have to wait for the state to decide on a budget.

“Hopefully, the appropriations will be there for this position,” Zaczek said.

IFDC funds are collected through a timber sales tax from the Illinois Forestry Development Act. This year, $118,500 in state money was committed to the council, but it cannot be appropriated until

a budget is passed. Because the council has not received funding, it cannot appropriate money for project proposals.

In the council’s proposal request form, the council said “all grants are contingent on appropriations by the Illinois General Assembly.”

“That’s why we’ve been stymied this fiscal year — there is no budget,” Gradle said. “This is not only true for this grant, but a lot of grants.”

Although the IFDC currently lacks a director, Gradle — who

served on the council for 15 years — has continued director duties without compensation. He said he continues because he loves the work.

“It’s been very rewarding for me to work with those council members,” Gradle said. “Forestry resources … a lot of times are overlooked. It’s a real viable resource here in Illinois.”

Gradle said he will cut back on travel, as the council meets in various locations in the state. He paid out of pocket to go from Carbondale to Champaign for a

Nov. 12 council meeting.

“It’s work, but it’s stuff that I enjoy doing. So, it doesn’t really seem like work,” Gradle said.

Gradle has been furloughed — a temporary leave because of economic conditions — but Zaczek said he expects Gradle will be offered the position again should he still be willing to take it.

“It’s kind of a waiting game to see if the budget will be approved,” Zaczek said.

Climate talks begin in Paris; goal may be hard to reach ALEXANDRA ZAVIS, MICHAEL A. MEMOLI AND CHRISTINA BOYLE LOS ANGELES TIMES

Declaring that the future of the planet is at stake, more than 150 world leaders assembled outside Paris on Monday to launch an ambitious attempt to confront climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

After decades of difficult negations and an unsuccessful attempt to strike an agreement six years ago, President Barack Obama said a turning point may have been reached.

“What should give us hope,” he told fellow leaders, “is the fact that our nations share a sense of urgency about this challenge and a growing realization that it is within our power to do something about it.”

The United Nations conference comes at a time of record high temperatures, more extreme droughts and storms, shrinking glaciers and melting ice packs — events that have helped make climate science more widely accepted. That, coupled with major advances in cleaner energy sources, has increased the willingness of some of the world’s biggest polluters to act.

The leaders of nations responsible for more than 95 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions arrived at the conference at Le Bourget, on the northern edge of Paris, armed with plans to reduce their outputs. But organizers warned there was still a long way to go.

Critically, the proposals currently on the table are not projected to limit rising global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the threshold at which scientists believe most of the worst effects of climate change could be avoided. It’s unclear

whether the gap between those proposals and the 2-degree goal can be closed in the next two weeks.

“The future of your people, the future of the people of the world, is in your hands,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon told leaders as the talks kicked off. “We cannot afford indecision, half measures or merely gradual approaches.

Our goal must be a transformation.”

The high-level meeting began with a moment of silence for the victims of deadly attacks in France, Lebanon, Tunisia and elsewhere — a wave of violence that threatened to overshadow longer-term concerns about climate change.

“These tragic events ... force us to concentrate on the essentials,” French President Francois Hollande said. “We must leave our children more than a world free from terror. We must leave them a planet that is preserved from catastrophes, a viable planet.”

Major issues have still to be resolved, however.

Developing countries have long argued that countries that grew rich through the use of fossil fuels should assume the burden of shifting poorer economies to solar, wind and other renewable energy sources without hurting their potential for growth.

Addressing the conference Monday, President Xi Jinping of China said the deal reached in Paris must recognize differences between developing and more established economies, and include aid for poor countries.

“Addressing climate change should not deny the legitimate needs of developing countries to reduce poverty and improve living standards,” he said.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said

developed nations could make the biggest difference to the environment. “National commitments must be consistent with the carbon space nations occupy,” he said.

As the summit got underway, the capitals of India and China were blanketed in smog.

Beijing issued an “orange” pollution alert, the second-highest level.

Modi said his country is seeking to produce 40 percent of its power from non-fossil fuels but said wealthier nations have a responsibility to make cleaner energy affordable and accessible in the developing world. “This is in our collective interest,” he said.

Many leaders who spoke Monday want the agreement to include legally binding targets.

That could be a deal-breaker for the U.S., which needs approval from the Republicancontrolled Senate to sign a binding treaty.

In his address to the conference, Obama acknowledged that taking strong action on the environment has not always been a political winner. But he noted that the U.S. and other global economies have grown even as fossil fuel emissions have leveled off.

“We have proved that strong economic growth and a safer environment no longer have to conflict with one another,” he said.

“And that should give us hope.”

Speaking at a heavily guarded conference center, Obama said the determination of world leaders to act as one in pursuit of a common goal was itself a rebuke to the Islamist extremists who killed 130 people in Paris two weeks ago.

The president highlighted steps that his administration has taken to curb emissions, and praised the many other nations that have committed to do the same in the lead-up to the summit.

“Our task here in Paris is to turn these achievements into an enduring framework for human progress _ not a stopgap solution, but a long-term strategy that gives the world confidence in a low-carbon future,” Obama said. “That’s what we seek in these next two weeks, not simply an agreement to roll back the pollution we put into our skies, but an agreement that helps us lift people from poverty without condemning the next generation to a planet that’s beyond its capacity to repair.”

By inviting Obama and other leaders to the opening days of the summit, organizers hoped to send a clear signal: Paris is not Copenhagen.

A similar effort to reach a binding agreement to address climate change had all but collapsed by the time Obama and his counterparts arrived in the Danish capital near the conclusion of the summit in 2009.

Officials hope the participation of world leaders at the start of this year’s conference, with commitments for action in hand as they arrive, will provide the momentum needed to reach a strong accord, even if it falls short of the 2-degree target.

A number of initiatives were announced by governments and private investors Monday, including billions of dollars in investments to support the development of clean energy technologies and to help the most vulnerable countries cope with the effects of climate change.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, who took over as president of the negotiations Monday, reminded participants that they have just “11 short days” to strike a deal.

“Success is not yet assured, but it is within our grasp,” Fabius said. “The eyes of the world are upon us.”

Why the CIA is smearing Snowden GLENN GREENWALD LOS ANGELES TIMES

Decent people see tragedy and barbarism when viewing a terrorism attack. American politicians and intelligence officials see something else: opportunity.

Bodies were still lying in the streets of Paris when CIA operatives began exploiting the resulting fear and anger to advance long-standing political agendas.

They and their congressional allies instantly attempted to heap blame for the atrocity not on Islamic State but on several preexisting adversaries: Internet encryption, Silicon Valley’s privacy policies and Edward Snowden.

The CIA’s former acting director, Michael Morell, blamed the Paris attack on Internet companies “building encryption without keys,” which, he said, was caused by the debate over surveillance prompted by Snowden’s disclosures.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., blamed Silicon Valley’s privacy safeguards, claiming: “I have asked for help. And I haven’t gotten any help.”

Former CIA chief James Woolsey said Snowden “has

blood on his hands” because, he asserted, the Paris attackers learned from his disclosures how to hide their communications behind encryption. Woolsey thus decreed on CNN that the NSA whistleblower should be “hanged by the neck until he’s dead, rather than merely electrocuted.”

In one sense, this blameshifting tactic is understandable.

After all, the CIA, the NSA and similar agencies receive billions of dollars annually from Congress and have been vested by their Senate overseers with virtually unlimited spying power. They have one paramount mission: find and stop people who are plotting terrorist attacks. When they fail, of course they are desperate to blame others.

The CIA’s blame-shifting game, aside from being self-serving, was deceitful in the extreme. To begin with, there still is no evidence that the perpetrators in Paris used the Internet to plot their attacks, let alone used encryption technology.

CIA officials simply made that up. It is at least equally likely that the attackers formulated their plans in face-to-face meetings.

The central premise of the CIA’s campaign — encryption enabled the attackers to evade our

detection — is baseless.

Even if they had used encryption, what would that prove? Are we ready to endorse the precept that no human communication can ever take place without the U.S. government being able to monitor it? To prevent the CIA and FBI from “going dark” on terrorism plots that are planned in person, should we put Orwellian surveillance monitors in every room of every home that can be activated whenever someone is suspected of plotting?

The claim that the Paris attackers learned to use encryption from Snowden is even more misleading. For many years before anyone heard of Snowden, the U.S. government repeatedly warned that terrorists were using highly advanced means of evading American surveillance.

Then-FBI Director Louis Freeh told a Senate panel in March 2000 that “uncrackable encryption is allowing terrorists — Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida and others — to communicate about their criminal intentions without fear of outside intrusion.”

Or consider a USA Today article dated Feb. 5, 2001, eight months before the 9/11 attack. The headline warned

“Terror groups hide behind Web encryption.” That 14-yearold article cited “officials” who claimed that “encryption has become the everyday tool of Muslim extremists.”

Even the official version of how the CIA found Osama bin Laden features the claim that the alQaida leader only used personal couriers to communicate, never the Internet or telephone.

Within the Snowden archive itself, one finds a 2003 document that a British spy agency called “the Jihadist Handbook.” That 12-year-old document, widely published on the Internet, contains instructions for how terrorist operatives should evade U.S. electronic surveillance.

In sum, Snowden did not tell the terrorists anything they did not already know. The terrorists have known for years that the U.S. government is trying to monitor their communications.

What the Snowden disclosures actually revealed to the world was that the U.S. government is monitoring the Internet communications and activities of everyone else: hundreds of millions of innocent people under the largest program of suspicionless mass surveillance ever created, a program that

multiple federal judges have ruled is illegal and unconstitutional.

That is why intelligence officials are so eager to demonize Snowden: rage that he exposed their secret, unconstitutional schemes.

But their ultimate goal is not to smear Snowden. That’s just a side benefit. The real objective is to depict Silicon Valley as terrorist-helpers for the crime of offering privacy protections to Internet users, in order to force those companies to give the U.S. government “backdoor” access into everyone’s communications.

American intelligence agencies have been demanding “backdoor” access to encryption since the mid-1990s. They view exploitation of the outrage and fear resulting from the Paris attacks as their best opportunity yet to achieve this access.

The key lesson of the post-9/11 abuses — from Guantanamo to torture to the invasion of Iraq — is that we must not allow military and intelligence officials to exploit the fear of terrorism to manipulate public opinion.

Rather than blindly believe their assertions, we must test those claims for accuracy. In the wake of the Paris attacks, that lesson is more urgent than ever.

‘Creed’ is the best Rocky movie ever JACOB PIERCE @JacobPierce1_DE

The Rocky series keeps fighting, even when many thought it was down for the count.

“Creed,” directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone shows the Rocky franchise still has the same hard-hitting punch 39 years after the first film.

Adonis Johnson, son of the late boxing legend Apollo Creed and his mistress, has been fighting his entire life. From growing up

in juvenile homes to the pressure of living up to his dead father’s name, life has been a battle for the up-and-coming boxer.

After growing up in California with Apollo’s widow, Johnson moves to Philadelphia to train with his father’s friend, Rocky Balboa.

Both men are reluctant to work together, but soon realize how much they need each other both professionally and emotionally.

The Rocky series has a decent overall record. The first and second are classic fighting movies that changed the genre forever.

“Rocky III” and “Rocky Balboa,” while not perfect, are good, emotionally gripping

The Jacob Show films. But then there is “Rocky IV” and “Rocky V,” which are two films that should have

killed the franchise.

“Creed” not only calls back to all the aspects that made “Rocky” Oscar worthy, but accomplished them even better than the original film.

The fight scenes are more visually compelling than any boxing movie before.

Coogler and Maryse Alberti, the cinematographer, made an amazing team by using a random assortment of no-cut shots, point of view angles and various camera tricks to make every fight unique and captivating.

Jordan gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Johnson. He helps build one of the most relatable

characters in recent film.

Johnson is an individual plagued by the loss of his father, his last name and feelings of abandonment.

The character could have been played with the melodrama ability of a soap opera star. Instead, Jordan plays it with a great mix of subtlety and ferocity while giving a performance of a lifetime.

Video games are hot but playing to the same old crowd. Where’s the future?

TODD MARTENS Los Angeles Times

The newest “Call of Duty” title raked in $550 million globally in its first three days on the market, a figure that its publisher, Activision Blizzard, touted as the largest entertainment launch of the year — bigger than any movie or album. Days later, game studio Bethesda Softworks said its new “Fallout 4” could bring in sales topping $750 million this holiday season.

But the blockbuster sales numbers obscure the video game industry’s Achilles’ heel: Sales continue to be driven by the hard-core gaming audience that’s been playing the same or similar titles for years.

A blockbuster Hollywood film tends to attract a wide and diverse audience, one that cuts across race, gender, age and income lines.

Blockbuster video games have more of a niche market. Big-budget games are pricey, regularly costing at least $59.99, difficult to master and typically require players to put in anywhere from 20 to 100 hours to complete.

All of these create barriers to entry that other forms of mass media lack, making it difficult to expand the core audience.

What’s more, the age of the most dedicated game player isn’t getting any younger, according to industry trade group the Entertainment Software Association. The average age of the gamer in 2013 was 30. In 2015? Thirty-five. It may be indicative of a devoted audience that’s growing up but not necessarily growing outward.

“In the Western advanced industrial nations, they’re basically hitting the same customer bases,” said Lewis Ward, a video game industry analyst at research firm IDC. “Their opportunity for growth is in developing markets. ... To grow, these consoles have to push into the developing economies much more so than they have in the past.”

It’s a pivotal time for the industry, as players are increasingly splintered among the devoted — those who invest in pricey home consoles or computer systems — and

the curious who explore games on mobile phones.

For many a young generation, tablet and phone screens are the controllers of the future. They are, in fact, the devices most often used for gaming by those ages 2 to 17, according to a recent NPD Group report, which tracks video game sales in the U.S. “In the past, the computer was considered the entry point for gaming for most kids, but the game has changed now that mobile has moved into that position,” the company said in a statement.

And therein lies a risk. We’re in the midst of an era when mainstream console games are designed almost exclusively for dedicated console gamers. The brightly gleaming spacecraft of “Star Wars Battlefront” may be enticing to nongamers, but it’s not so simple as to just pick up and play. Consider it a mainstream niche.

A niche that, to be fair, has a large base.

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are now two years old. Adoption for this console generation in North America has been brisk.

Industry analysts note that the two game systems are selling at a faster pace than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 here in the U.S. Sales thus far of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are “nearly 40 percent higher than the combined two-year totals for the Xbox 360 and PS3,” said Liam Callaham, an analyst with the NPD Group, Although Microsoft hasn’t divulged updated Xbox One sales figures, Sony said earlier this week that it has sold 30.2 million PlayStation 4 units worldwide. Earlier this year, research firm Strategy Analytics estimated that more than 50 million households worldwide could have PlayStation 4 and Xbox One units by year’s end.

Still, there are red flags.

Overall, the number of worldwide console players has declined by about 5 percent over the past year, according to a midyear report from Strategy Analytics. This is due in large part to the lack of success of the Wii U. Nintendo’s Wii U has sold just 10.7

million consoles worldwide, and its inability to match the 101-million-selling Wii has hurt the console sector as a whole.

“The Wii brought in this huge casual crowd, people who are not your hard-core gamers who are not playing your hard-core console games,” said Michael Goodman, an analyst with the firm. “It’s those people who have migrated over to the tablets and smartphones as a gaming experience.

Microsoft and Sony have gone after their much more traditional console market.”

Thus, console gaming, Strategy Analytics wrote in its report, is becoming “mostly limited to the core gaming audience.”

Many believe that the bulk of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sales thus far have come from those who owned an older console. According to Ward, that helps explain why Microsoft this holiday season is emphasizing the console’s ability to play older Xbox 360 titles.

Microsoft is aggressively pricing select Xbox One bundles at $299 this holiday sales weekend, and Sony is selling the PlayStation 4 by $50 less than it was last holiday season.

Both moves are seen as efforts, at least in part, to make console sales more attractive to new players.

Console games represent some of the industry’s most immersive experiences and grandest displays of technology. Yet there are numerous hurdles to overcome for those new to the medium. Whereas film, television and music have become easier and cheaper to engage with, thanks to the rise of streaming services, getting into big-budget games remains a cumbersome, expensive hobby.

Want to see “Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens”? It’s as easy as buying a ticket and finding your way to the theater.

But let’s say you’re a “Star Wars” fan and curious to check out “Star Wars Battlefront.”

If you don’t already own a console, Sony is marketing a $349 bundle that includes the game. Then plan to drop an extra $50 or $60 for the privilege of playing online, which you’ll need for a multiplayer-focused title such as “Battlefront.”

Games, before one even tries to master a controller with 12-plus buttons, are daunting. And that’s not even taking into account the countless hours many games are designed to last.

So while Goodman contends that the console base has the potential for growth, he does add that “you’re not going to see exponential growth.”

What you’re going to see, perhaps, are games like “Halo 5: Guardians,” which make little sense to those who haven’t already invested a decade in “Halo” lore. Blast aliens and explore planets, but for much of the game don’t expect to know who, what or why.

Even “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” one of the year’s strongest, most focused games, necessitates the complex mastery of controlling a character as well as an ingame camera. There’s often an hour or so of tinkering with a new game to get the balance of the controls right.

Fans of any good action-drama would no doubt be interested in the continuing adventures of Lara Croft, but there’s a learning curve. Without a system like the Nintendo Wii courting nongamers, the current console generation is starting to appear interested in coddling the fans it already has rather than courting new ones.

Right now, a repeat of what happened in late 2006 seems unlikely. That’s when Nintendo released its Wii, which wowed gamers and nongamers alike with its “Wii Sports.” Suddenly, console gaming had expanded to a whole new group of users, making the Wii in short supply that holiday season. The Wii was viewed as a family device rather than one aimed at the hardcore gamer.

Ultimately, the Wii was a hit because it captivated the general public, showing that a simple wave of the arm could lead to new ways to play.

It was a console, yes. But it was one with the training wheels this current generation thus far lacks.

OPINION

Several in-house candidates could replace Lennon THOMAS DONLEY | @tdonleyDE

SIU football has a vacancy for its head coaching position and Athletic Director Tommy Bell may not have to search too hard to fill it.

Two Saluki assistant coaches have head coaching experience at the collegiate level, and another is on the rise as a college coach.

Bill O’Boyle, who served as assistant head coach and co-offensive coordinator in 2015, posted a 57-21 record at Division II Chadron State College from 2005-11 as head coach.

Former Saluki quarterback Kory Faulkner, who played from 2010-13, tweeted in support of O’Boyle following the announcement of Lennon’s dismissal.

Colorado Mesa University head coach Russ Martin said he noticed O’Boyle’s knack for bringing out the best

in his players during O’Boyle’s tenure at CSC. “Their guys played with a tremendous passion,” he said during an interview in October. “They played with more passion than anybody I’d ever seen.”

O’Boyle may not profile as a head coach at the Division I level after shying away from media this season by deferring questions to co-offensive coordinator Nick Hill.

Defensive coordinator David Elson is the only SIU assistant with experience as a Division I head coach. Elson was the head coach at Western Kentucky from 2003-09.

In Elson’s first five seasons, the Hilltoppers went 37-22 and made two NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoff appearances.

WKU moved up to the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2008, resulting in a 2-22 record in Elson’s final two seasons

in Bowling Green, Ky. The Saluki defense was historically awful in 2015, which was Elson’s first season as defensive coordinator of the team. The Dawgs gave up more than 5,000 yards for the first time in school history.

Despite having just two years of experience as a college coach, Hill is another candidate to replace Lennon.

Former Salukis Deji Karim and Brandon Jacobs voiced their support of Hill on Twitter following the announcement of Lennon’s dismissal.

Hill coached Carbondale High School to the Illinois High School Association playoffs in 2013 before joining the SIU staff as the quarterbacks coach in the 2014 season.

Current CHS Athletic Director Mark Albertini said in an interview last year he would not be surprised if Hill was a collegiate coach in five to 10 years.

Quarterback Mark Iannotti threw for 22 touchdown passes last year, which at the time tied him with Joel Sambursky and Scott Gabbert for the third-highest single-season total in Saluki history.

Hill was promoted to co-offensive coordinator after his only season as quarterbacks coach. SIU offense put up 5,479 yards this season — the thirdhighest single season total in history and the most since 2007 when Hill was a senior quarterback for the Salukis.

Hill will be 31 next season. His experience may work against him, as Bell may opt for a more seasoned leader for 2016.

However, Bell would be mistaken to not consider external candidates for the job also. A possible replacement for Lennon could be Western Illinois coach Bob Nielson, who guided the Leathernecks to the playoffs this season.

Bell hired Nielson at WIU in 2012.

Lennon compared to previous SIU coaches William McAndrew First SIU coach Years: 1913-16, 1921-38 Record: 83-79-20 McAndrew has the most all-time games coached, 182, and wins, 83, at the university.

He is sixth all-time with a .511 winning percentage. He coached at SIU for a combined 22 years, more than any other coach.

Dale Lennon 20th SIU coach Years: 2008-14 Record: 51-42

Glenn (Abe) Martin Fourth SIU coach Years: 1939-49 Record: 31-42-5 Martin led the Salukis to victory in the inaugural Corn Bowl in 1947.

SIU beat North Central College 21-0 at Fred Carlton Field in Normal.

Martin’s .429 winning percentage is eighth in SIU history. He is one of two coaches to lead SIU for 10 or more years.

Carmen Piccone Eighth SIU coach Years: 1959-63 Record: 28-20 Piccone led SIU to perfect records against Illinois State, Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan — a combined 11-0 — in his tenure. The Dawgs went to the 1960 Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship with a 6-0 record. Piccone has the fourth best all-time winning percentage, .583, at SIU.

Rey Dempsey 13th SIU coach Years: 1976-83 Record: 54-37 The 1983 Salukis went to a National Championship with Dempsey, who was named the Division I-AA Coach of the Year. He, along with Kill, is one of two coaches named to SIU’s All-Century team. He has SIU’s second-best winning percentage of .593 and the third most wins with 54.

Jerry Kill 19th SIU coach Years: 2001-07 Record: 55-32 Kill led the Salukis to three straight Missouri Valley Football Conference Championships and five straight playoff appearances. His Dawgs were No. 1 in the Football Championship Subdivision poll for 10 straight weeks in 2004. Kill won the Eddie Robinson Award for FCS Coach of the Year. He has the best winning percentage at SIU, .632, and the second most wins, 55.

Lennon coached the Salukis to back-to-back MVFC Championships and FCS Playoff appearances in his first two years. He was named the AFCA Region IV Coach of the Year as well as MVFC Bruce Craddock Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2009. Lennon is one of six coaches in conference history to win Coach of the Year in back-to-back years. The team won 11 games in 2009, which made Lennon one of three SIU coaches to have 10 or more wins in a season. Lennon finished his career with the second most games coached with 93, fourth most wins with 51 and fourth best winning percentage at .548.
