I expect it to be a very good hire. He will need to have somebody else get them focused on defense, so his DC will be important. But Cronic is a very good offensive coach and he will do big things with the weapons the Bears have.

Drew Cronic Named Mercer Head Football Coach
MACON, Ga. – Drew Cronic, previously the head coach at Lenoir-Rhyne University, has been named Mercer University's 20th head football coach, Athletics Director Jim Cole announced Tuesday evening.
A native of Sharpsburg, Ga., Cronic is considered one of the more innovative offensive minds across all levels of college football. Driven by the motto "Raise the Bar", he has posted a 47-6 record in four years as a head coach and has been named the AFCA Regional Coach of the Year all four seasons. He has also helped lead his teams to four straight conference titles – Reinhardt (2016), Furman (2017) and Lenoir-Rhyne (2018, 2019).
Cronic engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football, taking Division II Lenoir-Rhyne from a 3-8 season in 2017 to a 25-3 record under his guidance the past two seasons. After being named the AFCA National Coach of the Year for the 2018 season, he led the Bears to a school record-tying 13 wins in 2019 and a second consecutive berth in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
"It is a dream come true to be back in my home state of Georgia and to be working at a great institution like Mercer University," Cronic said. "I am excited for this opportunity and I am looking forward to working with President Underwood, Jim Cole and the rest of the Mercer Family. This is an exciting time for Mercer Football and I am looking forward to 'Raising the Bar' on the gridiron. I'm home."

Mercer (FCS – GA): The staff has officially added Jimmy Long (DL / run game coordinator), La’Donte Harris (WRs / offensive recruiting coordinator), and Mike Adams (safeties / pass game coordinator), and David Cole (associate head coach / corners / special teams coach). They join assistants Joel Taylor and Tim Foster, who were announced last week.
