This was per Coach Farison who posted to the RMU Football Group.
More than likely it's about the new Offensive Coordinator.

RMU Football: Big Announcement coming next week
- Thread starter Original_RMC
- Start date
After many random thoughts and internet searches, which pretty much came up empty, and no contact with anyone about this subject, except for postings on this site, my final Jeopardy question is, Who is Mike Miller?
So, am I correct?

Why I like Mike. So far, no one has confirmed that I guessed correctly. Assuming I am correct; there is a lot to be excited about this hire. Obviously, he coached in the NFL, as an OC. Although there can be questions as to why he is no longer coaching in the NFL, he obviously is a knowledgeable and talented coach or he never would have been hired for positions in the NFL and subsequently promoted all the way to OC. He's a local guy, who apparently wants to, or at least will be happy, living in the Pittsburgh area. He has a history with the RMU program. He's a known commodity. It is not a case of taking a risk on a guy just because he has an impressive resume'. He recently was OC at Edinboro, a W. Pa. D-II program in a strong conference. As a result, he has already made the adjustments of coaching college again from the NFL. He also probably built some, or reestablished some, area recruiting contacts. He is still reasonably young for a coach with his experience. Having coached in the NFL he is used to working hard and long hours. One of the biggest benefits is that his NFL experience should be very attractive to recruits. On top of all that, I gather that he is a good guy, that will be well liked, and be personally interested in doing what's right for the student/athletes.
After all of that, I surely hope that I have figured out the right guy. If not, I am going to be very disappointed.

@GoRMU if miller is the guy that's confirmed in the near future. How much do you see the offense changing? Passing a lot more than last season? Rmu seem to be heavily recruiting Todd summers as a tight end, without any other true tight end on the roster. Is that a sign of the new changing offense?
tyblake2 - I have no idea how the offense will be changed, whatever it is, hopefully it will result in more first downs, less turnovers and more points on the board. I am sure once the new OC is announced that original_rmc will have some good insight for us. I suspect my guess, and that's all it is, is correct. If I am wrong, I am sure someone would have jumped on and let me know by now. Hopefully, the official announcement will come quickly, as recruits are making their final decisions. If it is Miller, his NFL experience could tip the scales in favor of RMU with a lot of kids.
