Capital head coach Collins accepts Saginaw Valley St. job
UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. (AP) -- Capital head coach Jim Collins has been hired as Saginaw Valley State's next coach, the schools announced Friday.
He replaces Randy Awrey, whose contract with Saginaw Valley State expires Monday.
Collins was 66-51 in 11 seasons at Capital, an NCAA Division III team in the Ohio Athletic Conference. A three-time OAC coach of the year, he led the Crusaders to the divisional playoffs in each of the last three seasons, losing each time to the eventual national champion.
Capital enjoyed seven straight winning seasons under Collins. In 2006, the Crusaders finished their regular season 9-1 for the first time. The school announced his resignation on Friday.
"We are extremely excited to have Jim Collins take over our football program," Mike Watson, Saginaw Valley State's athletic director, said in a statement. "Jim has a tireless work ethic and an enthusiastic attitude."
Collins served as a graduate assistant at Central Michigan from 1989-90 before taking over as offensive coordinator at Illinois Wesleyan in 1991. From there, he accepted his first head coaching job, at Dubuque. He was there from 1994-96 before taking over at Capital.
Saginaw Valley State, a Division II school in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, announced Nov. 30 that it was not renewing Awrey's contract. The university said an investigation by an independent auditing firm and outside legal counsel found Level I secondary violations during the 2005 season and a portion of the 2007 season.

New SVSU coach has big fan in Buckeye nation

Jim Collins is hardly a household name in mid-Michigan, but one of his central-Ohio neighbors couldn't say enough good things about Saginaw Valley State University's new football coach Friday.
''Coach Collins is a great hire for Saginaw Valley and he's going to do a great job up there,'' said Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, whose 11-1 Buckeyes are preparing for a Jan. 7 date with LSU in the BCS Championship Game.
The two coaches have known each other for years, and the friendship has grown since Tressel arrived in Columbus in 2001.

Collins takes over as SVSU football coach
By Dan Chalk

SAGINAW ? Jim Collins isn?t Jim Tressel. But he has coached in the same town as Tressel, and he got high praise from the Ohio State coach on Friday.
Collins, introduced Friday afternoon as the new head football coach at Saginaw Valley State University, has Tressel?s endorsement.
?You?ve got a winner in Collins,? Tressel said in a conference call with reporters.
Collins, 41, has coached Division III Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, for the past 11 seasons.
?I?ve admired him and the way he does things at Capital for a long time,? Tressel said. ?He?s always talking about what it takes to win a national championship.?

[censored]!
Now we've got to start all over from a coaching standpoint.. I just hope this doesn't effect the team too much because we expected to be very good in 2008.

Best wishes to my Crusaders
As an alum of Capital and a former Crusader player, I can say that I've become a fan of Collins over the last few years. Its great to see that program finally do some damage in the OAC.
Capital has always supported the OSU family as well. I am sure that the administration there in Bexley will find an excellent replacement.
