Academic Success

“The 450-acre campus has an Ivy League air, or perhaps a whiff ofthe ‘50s, from its location on Main Street to The Soda Shop acrossthe road. Davidson is where the basketball coach lives next-door tothe English professor and both are down the street from the athlet-ics director. Stories are told of money found on the ground tacked

to a tree or a bulletin board for the owner to retrieve. ”Reid Cherner, USA Today

“I've decided to return to college. Not any college. Just Davidson.”Lenn Robbins, New York Post

23 Rhodes Scholars

Davidson is a national leader on affordability initiatives, with need-blindadmission and meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need with acombination of grants and student employment. In a ground-breaking initia-tive known as the Davidson Trust, Davidson was the first liberal arts collegeto eliminate the loan component in financial aid packages.

Davidson believes that its educational offerings should be affordable forevery admitted student, regardless of a family’s financial means. Thanks toDavidson’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.

Affordability

Davidson counts 23 Rhodes Scholars amongst its alumni. Established by the late CecilRhodes in 1902, the prestigious scholarship provides support for study at England’sOxford University for students from around the world who are outstanding intellectually,and show qualities of moral leadership and social purpose.

2008

Distinctly DavidsonA variety of options and opportunities set Davidson apart, including its strongHonor Code, committment to community service and Division I athletics:

� Davidson’s historic and student-administered Honor Code offers both the free-dom and responsibility of self-scheduled and unproctored exams.

� With the Dean Rusk International Studies Program, 12 Davidson-directedstudy abroad programs, and off-campus study programs in 17 locations world-wide, more than 70 percent of students graduate with experience abroad.

� Davidson fields 21 NCAADivision I varsity teams, with athletes’ graduationrate 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 anyteam on the road—bags full of books and notes.

“Davidson cultivates an adventurous spirit,a determination to tackle life's problems,and an appreciation and understandingof those who have not had the benefitof either education or opportunity.”

Wyche Fowler ‘62, Former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia

“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 atiny school from a low-profile league. A self-effacing starwhose shooting was nothing short of thrilling. A coachwho personifies class. Trustees willing to dig into theirown pockets to pay for students to come from North

Carolina to Detroit to witness this.”Pat Forde, ESPN.com

WELCOME TO SMITH FIELD AT RICHARDSON STADIUM


SEASON PREVIEW

An overviewTripp Merritt’s goal to make

Davidson a consistent championship con-tender in the tough Pioneer FootballLeague has progressed to the point thatthe Wildcats have an excellent chance in2008 of fielding their third straight win-ning team.

With eight starters back on bothoffense and defense, including a record-setting, experienced quarterback,Davidson has more than a fighting chanceto compete successfully against the best inthe PFL.

After going 4-6 and 1-2 in the PFLwith his first Davidson team, Merritt’sprogram has put together successive 6-4seasons that includes a cumulative 9-5record within its conference. That’s prettyheady stuff around here – and this couldbe Merritt’s best Davidson team.

Of course, trying to predict a collegefootball season is akin to forecastingmountain weather. The whole picture canchange in a matter of minutes. ForDavidson, as with most teams, a key willbe the health of the team over the longseason. If the Wildcats can somehowescape serious injuries to key players, thishas the possibilities of a season to savor.

There is cautious enthusiasm in theDavidson camp. No cockiness, but a quietconfidence is present. The Wildcats believein themselves and the approach they taketo winning.

“We feel we’ve closed the gap onsome of the Pioneer League’s best teams,”Merritt said. “Our kids are at the pointnow that they think they can competewith anybody.”

Veteran defensive coordinator MeadeClendaniel is a football guy, careful withhis words and not given to hyperbole.Still, he says, “I’d be disappointed if we’renot better than we were last year.”

A new element is being introducedinto the Davidson plan for the 2008 sea-son. Mike Clark, Davidson’s talentedoffensive coordinator for eight seasons,left last winter to become head footballcoach at Lycoming College inWilliamsport, Pa., his alma mater. Takinghis place is Ryan Heasley, who coached asan assistant at highly successful DivisionIII Washington University in St. Louis.Heasley’s love for football, and his eager-ness to teach it, overflows. He has theenergy of a hummingbird and the tough-ness of a leather saddle.

After going through his first springpractice with the Wildcats, Heasley wasimpressed. “Our kids are smart and havean excellent attitude,” he said. “We will bean up-tempo offense and our practices willbe set on go, go, go.”

The luxury of having 16 starters backshould help the Wildcats weather a toughschedule that sees them play four of theirfirst five games and six of their first eighton the road. The good news is that the lastthree games will be at home, at a timewhen the Wildcats hope to be in con-tention for a PFL championship.

Davidson’s PFL road games will takethem to Morehead State, Valparaiso,Drake, and Campbell. PFL home gameswill be against Jacksonville onHomecoming, and versus Dayton, SanDiego and Butler. It’s a home schedulethat should delight Davidson’s footballcommunity.

Non-conference games for the ‘Catsfeature games at UNC Pembroke andLenior-Rhyne along with a Novemberhome game against Marist.

Davidson’s offense will be led by sen-ior quarterback Ryan Alexander, who is anextraordinary player. Clendaniel’s defensewill be full of blitzes and surprises, withveteran players up front and less experi-

ence but good talent in the secondary. Andthe special teams, which are an importantpart of Davidson’s overall scheme, shouldagain cause nightmares for opponents.

Eighty-three players reported forAugust practice, as Merritt and his staff,featuring hard work and a positive out-look, have increased the number of play-ers on the roster. The players came tocamp in excellent shape and with highexpectations. But let’s face it, almost allteams are optimistic and harbor loftydreams in the preseason.

Can Davidson get the job done on thefield? Answers will unfold as the heat ofSeptember slowly turns into the cold ofNovember. It’s a long season and therewill be unexpected turns, but the Wildcatsare excited. Here’s why.

The offenseRyan Heasley, the new offensive coor-

dinator, made a rather seamless transitionfrom Washington University to Davidson.Both colleges feature small, close-knitcommunities and academic demands thatare not compromised for athletes. Heasleyknows all about winning, as he workedfor head coach Larry Kindbom atWashington, who has put together 17straight winning seasons.

“The priorities at both schools are thesame,” Heasley says. “Academics first,both schools get great kids who have achance at a great education, and football isimportant at both places. I’m excited to bea part of the Davidson program.”

That excitement is enhanced by thepresence of Alexander, a 6-3 senior with astrong arm and a knack for making win-ning plays. He was injured in the seasonopener last year and missed the next twogames. He came back packing the ferocityof a winter storm, passing for 2,238 yardsand 18 touchdowns. He holds Davidson

SEASON PREVIEW


career records for most passing yards,most total yards, most touchdown passesand most completions. He gives the ‘Catsa unique offensive weapon.

“I love Ryan’s personality,” Heasleysaid. “He’s smart as a player, a real stu-dent of the game. He can help us get outof a bad play into a good one, so we cando a lot of changing with him in thegame.”

Experience behind Alexander is limit-ed. Competing for time at backup QB willbe two sophomores – Michael Blanchard,6-2, and Rodney Lasher, 6-1. Blancharddid not play as a freshman, and Lasherplayed in one game, as a special teamsplayer against San Diego. Both of theseyoung men have talent, but are untested.One or two freshmen could also enter thecompetition for backup QB. KeepingAlexander healthy is a major goal for the2008 Wildcats, and an offensive line thatallowed only seven sacks a year ago defi-nitely will come in handy.

Heasley says his offense will bedesigned to fit the skills of his players,with as much balance between the runand pass as feasible. He will use multipleformations, shifts, put people in motion.Anything within reason to confoundopposing defenses.

“We want to be as multiple as possi-ble,” he explains. “Our concepts are sim-ple; our looks are complicated. We’ll gotwo backs, empty (backfield), five wides… whatever we have to do to move theball. We will scheme to get our best play-ers on the field. But I consider attitude tobe as important as anything else that wefeature on offense.”

Heasley wants, and expects, mentaltoughness out of his players. He expects tohave a resilient team, one that can bounceback from inevitable mistakes and movethe ball.

One of Davidson’s goals under CoachMerritt is to be successful in running theball against the best PFL defenses. Lastyear’s offense, with Alexander at quarter-back and some dangerous receivers,gained 2,922 yards passing and arespectable 1,221 yards rushing. It pro-duced 31.2 points and 414 yards of offensea game on average.

The 2008 Wildcats will continue tothrow the ball from all positions on thefield, but they also have some runningbacks with complementary skills thatmake the outlook for the ground gamebright. Three of them went into fall campvying for playing time. Chad Barnes, 6-0,195, senior, is hard-nosed and tough. Hehad 88 rushes last season for an average of4.2 yards. Kenny Mantuo, 5-10, 185, soph-omore, has vast potential. His 81 rusheslast season produced an average gain of3.9 yards. And Justin Williams, 5-9, 180,sophomore, is a blur with a lot of wiggle.He averaged 5.1 yards a rush last seasonin gaining 367 yards.

“They are smaller kids who all giveus something a little different,” Heasleysaid. “We’ll build packages that sometimeshave two of them on the field at the sametime.”

The top two players at fullback goinginto pre-season were Kirk Benedict, 6-0,235, junior, and Seyi Ayorinde, 6-1, 215,junior. Benedict started 10 consecutivegames at fullback last season and demon-strated excellent blocking skills as well asan ability to pick up tough yards on shortyardage situations. He also had 19 catchesfor an average of 9.2 yards. Ayorindemoves to fullback from tailback. Heplayed in seven games in 2007, mostly onspecial teams. Going into the 2008 season,he has rushed the ball only once in hisDavidson career.

Davidson’s wide receivers are not

particularly big, but they have talent.Heasley says their ability to run preciseroutes and demonstrate toughness will bevital. He’ll play at least four veterans atwide receiver while also taking a look atsome of the freshmen at the position.

Kirk Konert, 6-0, 200, senior, has hadan excellent Davidson career, including hisjunior season when he caught 27 passesfor an average of 16.2 yards a catch. He’san excellent athlete who also does most ofDavidson’s punting. Another senior,Myles Potter, 5-10, 175, had 28 catches for394 yards last season. When they line upopposite each other, they presentAlexander with two inviting targets.

Two other wide receivers will also getplaying time this fall. Andrew Aldrich, 5-11, 190, junior, played in all 10 games lastseason and had 16 catches for 267 yardsand a touchdown. Mark Hanabury, 5-11,175, sophomore, played in five games as afreshman but will see more time this sea-son.

“In our up-tempo offense, we look toplay all of them, and maybe some fresh-men, too,” Heasley says of his widereceivers.

The starter at tight end going intocamp was D.J. Singleterry, 6-1, 230, senior,who had a fine junior season asDavidson’s starter. He has speed, excellenthands and caught 17 passes for 161 yardslast year. His role might well be steppedup a notch this season.

Of course, before anything positivecan happen with the offense, the men upfront must be exceptional. It’s often beensaid that offensive linemen don’t get theirnames called unless they’re caught hold-ing, but they’re nevertheless crucial to anyteam’s ability to move the ball.

Davidson’s line should be a good one,led by left tackle Will Nolte, 6-7, 320, sen-ior, who is so impressive that many foot-

SEASON PREVIEW


ball people think he’ll get a chance to playprofessional football after his Davidsoncareer. “Will is as athletic as any offensivelineman that I’ve seen at this level,” saidHeasley. “He’s a terrific player who leadsby example.”

The starting right tackle is expected tobe Jason Perillo, 6-4, 290, junior, who israther inexperienced but a hard workerwho will get a chance to shine in a startingrole.

The center and two guards will befilled by four players who are describedby Heasley as “tough guys on the insidewho are very competitive,” and all fourwill see significant playing time. The cen-ter is Shane Purvis, 6-1, 285, junior, whostarted all 10 games last season. He hasthe savvy to handle the many reads that acenter is expected to make. The left guardis Joe Tabler, 6-3, 330, junior, who playedin nine games last season and started twoof them. Mark Iafrate, 6-1, 280, junior, willbe the right guard. He played in ninegames in 2007 and started eight of them.Zenus Wilson, 6-3, 310, sophomore willsee plenty of action and compete for astarting job as well.

The offense has the potential to putup some lofty numbers. To realize thatpotential, Heasley says his unit must playat maximum efficiency on each snap. “Iask them to give me everything theyhave,” the first-year offensive coordinatorsays. “I want them to be coachable, takecare of the ball, and play hard and executefrom snap to whistle.”

The defenseIf you’re looking for song and dance,

for loquacity and French pastry, MeadeClendaniel isn’t your guy. But if you’relooking for a football man – a coach whoknows his sport inside and out and lovescoaching it – you couldn’t find anybody

better.This is Clendaniel’s eighth season as

Davidson’s defensive coordinator. He’scoached under Joe Susan, Mike Toop andTripp Merritt at Davidson and learnedfrom each of them. He’s studied the greatcareer of Penn State legend Joe Paterno.

Clendaniel’s main focus is on team,and to build a team one must first sharecredit. That’s why any talk withClendaniel about his defense begins withhim heaping praise on his full-time assis-tant Brett Hayford. “Coach Hayford is myMVP,” Clendaniel says. “I don’t knowwhat I’d do without him.”

Clendaniel and Hayford work togeth-er like hands on a clock at 6:30. Hayfordcoaches the defensive line and Clendanielthe secondary. They study film of eachopponent for hours, looking for any littletendency that might help them win onSaturday. Davidson’s defense doesn’t usu-ally have the biggest or fastest players onthe field, so scheming intelligently andtaking reasonable risks has to be part ofthe defensive package. Clendaniel andHayford put those packages together.

The Wildcats choose a 3-4 defensivealignment, because the scheme best suitstheir 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, whichgives us a chance to be very multiple ondefense. We feature a lot of different cov-erages and fronts, and have many blitzpackages.”

Davidson’s defense yielded an aver-age of 28 points and 395 yards a game lastseason in producing a winning record of6-4. The Pioneer Football League has someoffensive juggernauts, so defenses aregoing to yield some points and yardage.That’s understood. But it’s also believed,at least in these parts, that this year’s ver-sion of Davidson’s defense could be prettystingy.

Clendaniel watches his words careful-ly. But he looks at this group and says he’dbe disappointed if they aren’t improvedover last season. There are reasons for thatoptimism, plenty of reasons, and theybegin with a talented, experienced frontseven.

Clendaniel admits to being “oldschool,” which means he wants to stop therun first while doing everything hisdefense can to get into the head of theopposing quarterback, to make him thinkinstead of just playing.

Davidson’s front three on defenseshould make running a chore for oppo-nents, and is led by nose guard WillFunderburg, 6-1, 265, senior, who hasstarted all 30 of his games as a Wildcat.He’s tough, disruptive to the offense, aleader. “He’s so outstanding that oppo-nents have to game plan for him,”Clendaniel says.

Funderburg will be joined on thedefensive front by tackles Daniel Hauffe,6-3, 245, junior, who started all 10 gameslast season, and Alex Griswold, 6-2, 235,junior, who started eight of the 10 gameshe played in last season. That’s three pret-

ty good football players who could causeopponents a smorgasbord of problems.

The four linebackers are talented,smart, experienced and seem ready tomake life miserable for opposing offenses.One of the most talented players on theDavidson team is inside linebacker TylerLemons, 5-10, 205, junior. He played in thesecondary as a freshman, moved over tolinebacker and seems primed to be a star.He had 44 tackles last season, andClendaniel says matter of factly: “Hispotential is unlimited.”

The other inside backer is PeterBakke, 6-2, 210, senior, a second-team All-PFL choice who is a bloodhound on thefield. He finds the football and makesplays. 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 tal-ent and experience to the field. KwameSom-Pimpong, 6-0, 210, senior, is as fast asa prairie wind. He started 10 games lastyear, but it was his play in the last half ofthe season that has his coaches so excited.He had 47 tackles a year ago, 6.5 of thosebehind the line of scrimmage.

The other outside backer is WillPickens, 6-0, 225, junior. He played in all10 games last season on defense and spe-cial teams.

In addition to the talent and experi-ence of those front seven players,Davidson’s depth there seems to be assolid as it’s been in years.

The secondary is another story.There’s talent there, yes, but experience islacking, and depth is not as prevalent as itis with the other seven positions ondefense. Davidson lost three prominentsenior secondary players from last season.Zach Long started at free safety, PatrickFitzGerald at one cornerback, and Jeff

Scott was the nickel back.Talent is available to fill those posi-

tions, but inexperience could be a factor,especially early in the season. Free safetyis crucial in the Davidson defense, becausehe’s the guy responsible for getting thedefense in the proper alignment. His deci-sions have to be made in the heat of com-petition and always under the gun. MattGuerreri, 5-11, 175, sophomore, will getthe nod at free safety. “He could be asgood as anyone I’ve ever had at that posi-tion,” Clendaniel said. “He knows ourdefense and makes most of our defensive

adjustments. What he says on the field islaw.”

The strong safety is expected to beMatt Easton, 6-2, 215, junior, who aver-aged a whopping 7.1 tackles a game lastseason, which was good enough to rank asthe second best average by a secondaryplayer in the PFL. Easton also recordedtwo sacks last year, eight tackles for loss,and had an interception.

One of Davidson’s starting corner-backs will be Matt Mikrut, 5-9, 180, senior,who has made 19 straight starts. He had

SEASON PREVIEW


31 tackles last season.The other cornerback position went

into fall camp unsettled. Two players wereneck and neck coming out of spring ball,and they could end up splitting time at theposition this season. Brandon Giles, 6-0,190, senior, played in all 10 games last sea-son as a defender and special teams play-er. Harvey Kee, 5-8, 185, sophomore,played in five games in 2007. They’re bothexcellent players and between them hopeto make this a position of strength for theWildcats.

Clendaniel is also not afraid to putfreshmen on the field, once he thinksthey’ve earned a chance. Three of themplayed a lot last season, and as sopho-mores should play more this year. Theyare inside linebackers Erich Crowson, 6-0,205, and Daniel Astrop, 6-1, 205. Outsidelinebacker Andrew Wohler, 6-3, 210, also asophomore, is also expected to get fieldtime.

“We have leaders at every position onthis defense,” Clendaniel says.

This could be a Davidson defense toremember.

Special teamsHead coach Tripp Merritt coaches

Davidson’s special teams. He believes thatthey are so important that he devotes 20 to25 minutes in each practice to them.“Special teams are usually on the field for25 to 30 plays a game,” Merritt says.“They can win or lose a game for us.”

Merritt tries to choose players for spe-cial teams that aren’t full-fledged starters.But when he can’t find the necessary tal-ent among the rest of the roster, he doesn’thesitate to put a starter in a special teamssituation.

“In choosing players for our specialteams,” Merritt says, “I’m looking forplayers that work hard, have superb deter-

mination, give great effort and have theability to run, hit and stay on their feet.”

Merritt spends much time scoutingother teams to see how his special teamsshould attack each week. He’ll take calcu-lated risks, such as an onside kick hereand there, and put on the punt block. HisWildcats have run or passed out of fieldgoal and extra point formations. Theyblocked a punt that proved to be a crucialplay in the 24-21 win over Drake last sea-son.

“I want opponents to have to spendpractice time worrying about our specialteams and what we might do,” Merrittreasons.

Usually, Merritt finds about six play-ers that play on all of the special teams –punt, punt return, kickoff, kickoff return,field goal, PAT, and defense against fieldgoals and PATs. The ones who play on allof those teams are called “The Unit,” andare given skull and crossbones stickers fortheir helmets.

After finding the nucleus of about sixplayers that play on all the units, he mixesand matches to fill out the other positions.

“We tell our freshmen that the quick-est way for them to make an impressionand catch our eye is to show up what theycan do on special teams,” Merritt said. “Ittakes a lot of pride and focus to play inthis role.”

Davidson’s starting punter is expect-ed to be Kirk Konert, who punted last sea-son for a 38.2 average on 23 punts. Merrittlikes to have an athlete at punter, whichgives him a better chance to get out of badsituations, or to run fakes. Konert is arugby type punter who can kick it on therun going to his left or right.

Merritt believes in directional punt-ing, as the best way for his team to keepreturns to a minimum. Freshman BrentonGoodman, who is more of a conventional

punter, might also see action this season asa punter.

Davidson’s top man at returningpunts and kickoffs will be running backJustin Williams. “He’s special,” saysMerritt. “He can make you miss in aphone booth.”

Davidson’s goal is to pick up a firstdown – 10 yards – on each punt return.

Kickoffs, field goals and extra pointswill be handled by Ben Behrendt, sopho-more, who had an excellent spring prac-tice. Also getting a look here will be BoSwanson, a 6-3 freshman with a strong leg.

Merritt has a shoe box in the lockerroom, and he asks his players to write anote telling him why they should be onthe kickoff cover team. He looks for play-ers that can run, have the discipline to stayin lanes, can stay on their feet and get offblocks. He gets 40 or 50 applications forthese jobs. “The answers they give me onthat sheet of paper are important in mechoosing members for the team,” Merrittsays.

“Special teams should be a weapon,”Merritt said. “That’s what we’re strivingfor. We may fake a punt, try an onsidekick, put on an all-out punt block effort.The mantra for our special teams is,‘Making Things Happen.’ “

Davidson’s goal for special teams: beaggressive, exciting, fearless, and makethings happen that can help them wingames.

“We take a lot of pride in our specialteams, and spend a lot of practice time onthem,” Merritt said. “After all, those guysare on the field for about one-third of afootball game.”

HEAD COACH TRIPP MERRITT


Guy “Tripp” Merritt,now in his fourth season asDavidson’s head footballcoach, never expected lifewould be easy. His experi-ence in facing adversityhead-on colors his outlookon everything, including hiscurrent job with all of itsdaunting challenges, whichhe views as opportunitiesrather than obstacles.

Merritt was born withspina bifida occulta, whichresulted in deformities in hislower spine and nerve dam-age in his left leg. To thisday he has no reflexes in hisleft leg and back pain sur-faces when he tires, some-times causing a slight limp.His doctors didn’t have anoptimistic outlook, certainlynot for an infant who oneday would dream of playingathletics at a high level.“He’ll never be able to run,”they told his parents.

Merritt’s father was an assistanthigh school football coach and not oneto give up hope easily. He worked withhis young son, helped him improve hismobility and stamina. That and sheerdetermination allowed young Tripp tomake his way onto the playing field asearly as second grade – football, basket-ball, baseball. He played and lovedthem all. His athletic career continued atBurns High School in Shelby, N.C.,where he lettered three times in footballand baseball. He now runs three or fourmiles a day.

Don’t tell him he can’t do some-thing. Merritt will accept a dare, that’sfor certain.

A trend developed early in his ath-letic career. Never big enough or fastenough to challenge the best of the ath-letes he played with or against, histeammates nevertheless saw somethingin him that influenced them to elect himcaptain of every team he played on frommiddle school through his career atBurns High. He was a team guy, aleader, a young man who made histeammates want to get the most out oftheir ability.

“At 5-7 and 152 pounds in high

school, I didn’t run very well,” Merrittsaid. “I wasn’t fast and not very good.My role was to lead, and my goal wassimple. I wanted our team to win. I triedto make sure that every man on theteam got his job done.”

Even though he loved athletics andspent much of his childhood hangingaround football fields where his fathercoached, Merritt thought his own careerin athletics was over when he graduatedfrom Burns in 1986. Time for the realworld, he figured.

He went to UNC Charlotte to pur-sue a business degree. His father pushedhim in that direction, feeling it was inhis son’s best interests. Tripp’s fatherdidn’t find the pot of gold at the end ofthe coaching rainbow and eventuallyexited the profession to take a betterpaying job in textiles in Laurinburg,N.C. The elder Merritt wanted betterthings for his son, as all good fathers do.

Tripp was in pursuit of a degreethat would set him up in business. Hishead, and his father, told him that wasthe correct decision. His heart, however,wouldn’t turn loose of his longtimedream to teach high school history andcoach. After fall classes at UNCC, Trippspent afternoons at area high schoolswatching football practice. One of those

trips took him to Charlotte’s GaringerHigh School, where the head coach wasJimmy Teague. Teague was impressedwith Merritt’s tenacity and presented anirresistible offer. “Come over and helpus coach, but we can’t pay you any-thing.”

It’s a deal.Merritt showed up at Garinger after

his own college classes and went to thefootball offices in the field house. Hewatched tapes, immersed himself infootball strategy, got ready for practice,and learned all he could from Teagueand his assistants. Then he went to prac-tice and worked with the players. Thesmell of the grass on an autumn after-noon, the popping of the pads, the beau-ty of watching good things happenwhen all members of the team were onthe same page validated what healready knew.

Goodbye business world, hellocoaching. Merritt’s father was nothappy, not initially. But that wouldchange.

Will Holthouser, an assistant foot-ball coach at Western Carolina whorecruited the Charlotte area, met Merrittin 1990 and was impressed. The meetingresulted in Merritt joining the WesternCarolina staff as a graduate assistant.How could Merritt possibly turn itdown? A chance to live in beautifulCullowhee, nestled deep and secludedin the North Carolina mountains. Notexactly the brightest stage for a youngsingle guy. But if you want to coach,really want to coach, you’ll go where thejobs are. Even if the job descriptionincludes baby sitting, washing cars,teaching two physical education classes,going to school and coaching, all for thegrand prize of $6,000 a year. That wasMerritt’s deal at Western Carolina. Heknew even then that young coaches whoare picky end up selling insurance.

Merritt did work towards his mas-ter’s degree at Western Carolina andfound out for certain something thatwas even more important. “I knew Iwanted to coach football.”

He was in bed asleep in his dormroom at Western Carolina in May 1993when the telephone rang. It was 5:30 inthe morning. Dave Fagg, the head foot-ball coach at Davidson, thought every-body got up before the milkman. “I



have a job opening and I want to talk toyou about it. Can you be here tomor-row?” Before Merritt could say he need-ed more time, which was on the tip ofhis tongue, Fagg said, “Good. I’ll seeyou tomorrow.”

Merritt spent the next day withFagg in Davidson. Fagg could sell day-old, dry and crusty biscuits to a mandying of thirst. He put the fullcourtpress on Merritt. At precisely 5:30 thenext morning, Fagg called again. “I’moffering you the job but I need you herein two days.” Whoa! Merritt wouldhave to close things out at WesternCarolina, tell everybody he was leaving,find a place to live in Davidson, moveall of his stuff, and attend to a hundredother details. He needed more time, buthe needed a job more. He rushed hisgoodbyes, threw everything he owned— which wasn’t much — into the backof his car and headed down the moun-tain to Davidson. He knew virtuallynobody, had no place to stay, but he hada job, even if he wasn’t exactly surewhat it entailed.

Davidson put him in the HamptonInn in Cornelius, room 204. Temporarylodging. In this case “temporarily”totaled six months. Three weeks aftermaking this big move, Merritt was toldto meet Fagg in the hotel lobby. “I’mmoving on,” Fagg informed him anddefensive coordinator Tim Landis. Fagggave up football for a job with theDavidson Athletic Foundation. Merrittworked for him for exactly threeweeks.

“I had no idea what was going tohappen next,” Merritt recalls.

Serendipity intervened. In thethree weeks that Merritt had been atDavidson, he developed a close rela-tionship with Landis. They talked foot-ball constantly. When Landis wasnamed to succeed Fagg, it was an easydecision for him to keep Merritt on hisstaff. In the seven years they workedtogether at Davidson, Landis gaveMerritt the chance to do things oftenreserved for the head coach. Merrittwore many hats: secondary coach, line-backers coach, defensive coordinator,recruiting coordinator. His defense wasranked among the best in the nation.The program produced eight victoriesin 1998 and again in 1999 while recruit-

ing the athletes and building the teamthat would eventually go 10-0 in 2000.

Merritt followed Landis to St.Mary’s in California after the 1999 sea-son. He served there for three seasons asrecruiting coordinator, linebackerscoach, and then assistant head coachand offensive line coach. Merritt wentwith Landis to Bucknell in 2003 andworked as associate head coach, defen-sive coordinator and recruiting coordi-nator. Bucknell went 7-4 in 2004 andranked in the top 25 of the FootballChampionship series in scoring defense.

Landis and Merritt were togetherfor 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 Murphywanted a coach who would be a goodleader and flourish in the Davidson cul-ture. He chose Merritt. While hating tolose Merritt from his staff, Landis wasn’tsurprised that his friend was getting achance to run his own program.

“Tripp is an outstanding footballcoach who relates equally well to stu-dent-athletes, administrators and alum-ni,” Landis said. “His players enjoygoing out and competing for him, andthe success his program is having is evi-dence of that. Davidson has been a forceto be dealt with each and every week inthe very competitive Pioneer FootballLeague, and I think 2008 will be no dif-ferent.”

Merritt says that his role model atDavidson is basketball coach BobMcKillop.

“He has perfected the way to coachat Davidson,” Merritt says of the highlysuccessful McKillop. “He has beenextremely generous with his time intalking to me and letting me pick hisbrain. I’ve talked to him at length abouthis early experiences coaching atDavidson. I’ve learned a lot from him. Ialso watch as many of his practices as Ican.”

Merritt’s coaching philosophy wasalso shaped by readingand studying. He read abook by IndianapolisColts coach Tony Dungyand “The Carolina Way”by former NorthCarolina basketballcoach Dean Smith,whose summer campMerritt used to attend.Smith’s mantra for 36years as head coachwas, “Play Hard, PlaySmart, Play Together,”which Merritt has post-ed on his locker roomwall.

Merritt wantsDavidson football towin, of course. But healso wants it to be funfor his players andassistant coaches. “I

believe that if we takecare of all the littlethings on and off thefield, and do the rightthings mentally, phys-ically, socially andspiritually, winningwill take care ofitself,” Merritt says.

He finds value ineach of his players,even those – or maybeespecially those – who will probablynever play in an important situation. Hefinds a way to praise those players, tolet them know how important they areto the team’s success. They are verymuch a part of the team, as Merritt seesit, and he wants them to stick it out andenjoy the experience. Such positive rein-forcement and sense of caring hasincreased Davidson’s roster size from 69when Merritt took the job to the 83 thatshowed up for August practice this year.

Even though Merritt has 18 years ofcollege coaching experience, he justturned 40. His enthusiasm has noboundaries, his humility keeps himgrounded. Run DNA on him and arro-gance would not register. He knows thathe still has much to learn, so he utilizeshis coaching staff to the fullest. Theyplan together, coach together, even getup early on Saturday mornings on homegames to put the field together, arrang-ing the benches and the sidelineyardage markers before heading off tothe pre-game meal.

“It’s a tradition here,” Merritt said,not resenting the menial tasks one whit.

Merritt figures that as an assistantcoach 80 percent of his time was devot-ed to football. Now that he’s headcoach, he finds that reversed: 80 percentof his time is spent on administrativematters, putting out fires, speaking,alumni relations, dealing with themedia. He coaches Davidson’s specialteams, calling that part of his job his“football outlet.”

He gives much freedom to hisoffensive and defensive coordinatorsand tells them that the X’s and O’s aretheir art form. They have the green lightto coach and take risks. He’s not reluc-tant to make tough decisions, but he’salso secure enough in his own skin todelegate important tasks to his staff.

“I came backto Davidsonbecause I love thisplace,” Merrittsaid. “I think it’sunlike any otherplace in the coun-try. I like the waywe do things hereand why we dothem. I enjoy it somuch that I’m not

looking for the next job. The grass is notalways greener on the other side. Ilearned that from Coach McKillop. Thetrick is to make our own grass as greenas we possibly can.

“There’s a distinct challenge incoaching football at Davidson. There’sno doubt about it, but it also has itsadvantages in that we get young menwho have a great work ethic, are smartand of strong character, are highly moti-vated and will find a way to win.”

Unlike some coaches, Merritt does-n’t get wrapped up in statistics. A largeportion of his coaching is by feel. Afterall, the goal is to win, and that takesgreat preparation, dedication, goodplayers, a heaping portion of good luck– and somebody stepping up to make aplay when things are on the line. Hewants each of his teams to earn theirown identify. Last year’s team wasknown in inner circles as the “Junkyard

Cats,” because somehow, some waythey’d find a way to win.

Merritt has been named PioneerLeague co-coach of the year once. HisDavidson teams have produced recordsof 4-6, 6-4 and 6-4. He sees his programgetting better and closer to challengingfor a Pioneer League championship.

“We’ve closed the gap on the bestteams in the conference,” Merritt said.“We’ve beaten Drake and Dayton andMorehead State, and were real close lastyear (52-49) against San Diego. We haveplenty of work to do, but we’re gettingthere. We have a chance to be animproved team this year, and expect tobe. Our kids think they can beat any-body.”

With eight starters returning onoffense and the same number ondefense, there is reason for such a brightforecast.

Merritt and wife Sara are expectingtheir first child on Sept. 21. They maketheir home about five minutes from theDavidson campus.

Merritt’s father died in May 2004. Itwas before Tripp became Davidson’shead coach, an accomplishment thatwould have pleased his father greatly.But he lived long enough to see his sonprogress rapidly through the collegecoaching ranks and become successfuland happy in the profession. His initialdisappointment of his son choosing

coaching over businesshad long been replaced bypride in the achievement.

From an infant whosedoctors said he wouldnever run to a head coachin college who is in a fullsprint to make Davidsonfootball competitive forPioneer League Footballchampionships.

That’s Tripp Merritt,who’s living his dreamand never takes anythingfor granted. He’s gratefulfor his lot in life and inturn tries to make hisfootball program fun anda positive experience forall who join him on thejourney.

Jim Murphy was introduced as DavidsonCollege’s Director of Athletics in November of1995, returning to his alma mater on the eve ofits 100th anniversary of intercollegiate athletics. Prior, Murphy, 52, served as executive associ-

ate athletic director and chief financial officer forthe Georgia Tech Athletic Association for 10years.The Atlanta native played football and base-

ball during his freshman year, invaluable experi-ence for guiding a program unique in its desirefor 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 inDivision I in 2001-02, second in 2002-03 with a rate of 97 percent and con-tinues 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 aftergraduation proves that,” Murphy said. “It’s true that Davidson needs inter-collegiate 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 DavidsonScholars Program, and major improvements havebeen completed in Belk Arena and Smith Field atRichardson Stadium. Murphy has overseen theconstruction of the Belk Artificial Surface Field,Alumni Stadium, Wilson Field and the football sta-dium expansion project, including a state-of-the-artweight room, new press box and additional perma-nent seating.Murphy, the 2004 NACDA Division I-AA/I-

AAA Southeast Region Athletic Director of theYear, served two terms on the prestigious NCAADivision I Management Council. He chaired theDivision I-AA Governance Committee and former-ly served on the NCAA Division I Business andFinance Cabinet, the Division I GovernanceCommittee and the Division I Finance Committee. From 2002-04, Murphy chaired the Athletic

Directors Association of the Southern Conference. He was part ofCharlotte’s successful bid to host the NCAA Division I Men’s SoccerChampionships in 1999 and 2000 and served as Tournament Director of thefirst and second-round games of the 2005 NCAA Men’s BasketballChampionship in Charlotte.A former member of the Division I Football Issues Committee and past

president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletic DirectorsAssociation, Murphy was also a member of the NCAA Task Force onRecruiting, an 18-member panel charged with changing the culture ofrecruiting in intercollegiate athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA’sFiscal Responsibility Oversight Group.

A licensed Certified Public Accountant and 1978 graduate ofDavidson with a degree in economics, he earned a Master of Science degreein management from Georgia Tech in 1979. He worked from 1979-85 as anaudit manager with the international public accounting firm of KPMG PeatMarwick in Atlanta with responsibility for financial statement audits ofpublic and private companies with up to $1 billion in assets.

Thomas W. Ross becameDavidson’s 17th president Aug. 1,2007, after three decades of leader-ship and public service in NorthCarolina. Ross graduated from Davidson

in 1972. He graduated with honorsfrom the University of NorthCarolina School of Law, taught atthe University’s School ofGovernment, joined a Greensboro

law firm and served for one year in Washington, D.C., as chief of staff ofa 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 inthe state. In his work adjudicating felony cases, Ross became familiar with a

state justice system that suffered shortcomings from uneven sentencingand a burgeoning prison population. In 1990, the N.C. Chief Justiceappointed him to chair a new Sentencing and Policy AdvisoryCommittee. For two years the 23-member panel worked to create a struc-tured sentencing system that was eventually accepted by the legislatureand 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. ChiefJustice Rehnquist, now deceased, presented the award personally to Rossin 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 run-ning the North Carolina Court System for nearly two years, Ross wasinvited by the trustees of the Z.

On November 10, 1917, a small cohort of 22 footballplayers traveled to Atlanta to represent Davidson Collegeagainst Auburn, one of the most formidable teams in theSouth. The Plainsmen had massacred their first fouropponents, outscoring teams, 141-6.

According to one account, they were “big, quick, andundefeated” and heavily favored in the day’s matchup.Davidson was 2-4 and started a line averaging 20 poundsless.

Not surprisingly, Auburn dominated the game, out-gaining the “Red and Black” 240 yards to Davidson’s 91yards. Astoundingly, Davidson pulled together an offen-sive attack through the efforts of running back A.R.“Buck” Flowers and quarterback Henry Spann, deliveringa “bewildering array of forward passes.”

Davidson defeated one of the most powerful teams in

the South that day, 21-7, with scrappiness that capturedthe awe and respect of Atlanta sportswriters. Theywrote of the “Wildcats” from Davidson College, whosesmall stature and ferocious style proved overwhelm-ing. One account notes that Morgan Blake of theAtlanta Journal remarked of the Davidson team, “Noother team ever put together in these United States ofthe same weight as Coach Fetzer’s team could ever getthe verdict over the flock of wild men from NorthCarolina.”

The Davidsonian picked up on the nickname, and ithas been used ever since, replacing former, milder ref-erences such as “Red and Black,” “Presbyterians” and“Preachers.”
