I watched this FC press announcement and for what I saw at least harper got something right which was that being young is not a excuse anymore!!!! While I commend FC head's coach for being somewhat honest it still doesn't answer the question of with all of these changes your team still is in the cellar and yet you really think you have the support of the community??? Your telling me that the support of FC which is biased and hype will draw the community back??? Your kidding right????? I see that coaches come and then either get canned or jump ship and are replaced with what??? An O-Line coach and a retiring DC and other coaches that aren't special!!! Please I ask for you to post this and respond because for where I sit FC doesn't have the support of the community for many reasons and unless the program changes they might lose them forever which is a shame!!! Shout out to Joe who called your show!!! Joe whoever you are keep on keeping it real brother!!!!!
I am working on an article that will serve as a comprehensive overview as to why I think Ferrum may be struggling this year. I cannot say that the coaching staff can be looked at without some blame to shoulder, but to put the entire responsibility on the coaching staff, is to say that all of the players on both teams are precisely equal. If that were the case, then I could understand the relentless attack on the coaching staff. We know however that this is not the case. I will outline a variety of factual reasons, not excuses that may hinder Ferrum. I hope to have this up in a few days.
The last time Ferrum held an opponent scoreless was September 22nd 2018 as the Panthers defeated Greensboro College 81-0, at Ferrum. Before that, it was on October 1st, 2016 when they blanked the Pride of Greensboro College, 30-0. The game was played in Greensboro, N.C.
The last time the Panthers were shutout was October 26th, 2024 when the Panthers fell to Washington and Lee 34-0 at Ferrum.
The first football victory for Ferrum came in its second game of the 1955 inaugural season. The visiting VMI freshmen team, lead by quarterback Bobby Ross, were defeated by the Panthers 18-13.
The longest punt by a Panther punter is 72 yards. This was set September 17th 2016 by Tyler Morgan against Hampden-Sydney.
Seth Deaton holds the record for the longest Ferrum field goal. 48 yards, kicked against Guilford on November 2nd 2024.
Ferrum has never been ranked in D3 football.com's Top 25. It was ranked 26th in 2005, but has never cracked the top 25 in this poll.
Ferrum has NEVER gone winless in a season. They were held to only one win in 1956, 57, 59, 96 and 2014 but have never gone without a win.
Ferrum's largest margin of victory was on September 22nd 2018, when they defeated Greensboro College 81-0. Before this, Baltimore Community College 83-3 in 1974.
There are only 2 football jersey numbers retired at Ferrum. #22 which belonged to Chris Warren, and # 56 which belonged to David Harper.
