Snow or no snow the Fort Lewis College men’s soccer team was outside for training Tuesday afternoon as a winter weather system moved through the Durango area. The team currently is without a head coach, as two-time national championship winning coach Oige Kennedy departed in January to take an assistant coaching job for defending NCAA Division I national champion Stanford, which is led by another former FLC head coach in Jeremy Gunn. After nearly a month, Stanford made the announcement official Tuesday. “Oige is a distinguished goalkeeper, so he’ll be very good working in that respect, but he’ll be far more than that,” Gunn said Tuesday in a news release. “He is another great mind to add to the wonderful staff we already have in place... It’s a fantastic addition and somebody that will hopefully keep making us better. ...Oige was an assistant with me at Fort Lewis and was an invaluable part of our staff. Since then, he went on to surpass all of the great, hard work we put in there. Why wouldn’t you want to hire someone that’s outdone you?”
