Coaching changes on the way in PonyCon

There are a number of coaching changes that will take place in the Pony Conference heading into the 2022 college football season. Momo Kawashima is returning to Twilight Sparkle University for a second stint after replacing Gary Andersen, who was named the head coach at LSU. Kawashima was fired from her head coaching position at San Diego State after, alledgedly, "throwing the entire team into the crapper and flushing their dreams of victory away," according to the school's athletic director.

Meanwhile, the Unicorns will also have a new offensive coordinator. Scottie Montgomery is taking over for John Shoop, who will be taking over the reins at Nebraska. Montgomery was previously the head coach at Houston. "I am ready to let loose at Twilight Sparkle because this is a great sports town full of wonderful ponies and bronies," Coach Montgomery said. "Let's get it on!"

At Pinkie Pie, offensive coordinator @TrojanMan was fired and was replaced by Tom Herman. Extreme player discontent and lazyness on the part of Coach Man was sufficient grounds for the move, as well as another losing season. Coach Man is now the offensive coordinator at San Diego State. Coach Herman was previously the head coach at Texas Tech.

Finally, while offensive coordinator Tom Barnes was retained for another few years at the Rarity College of the Arts, defensive coordinator Jake Porter was given the old heave ho. Coach Porter is now the defensive coordinator at Virginia Tech. Taking over as the Royals' defensive coordinator is Terry Beverly, whose contract at Minnesota was not renewed.
