Mount Union legend Larry Kehres shared that Candle had such strong attention to detail that his route running was used as teach tape. "There’s no time for nonsense in coaching...if they weren't straightforward, and they started working with me, they became more straightforward."
Jason Candle's alma mater is an absolute powerhouse. In the 2000s, Matt Campbell, Nick Sirianni, and Vince Kehres were all on the staff at Mount Union with him. Hear from their former HC on Candle's early years and the fervor for football in Ohio. storrscentral.com/s/2067/jas…

Really excited for this one! Spoke to Candle's college coach, Larry Kehres, winner of 11 national championships. This powerhouse program has a stacked coaching tree and has had two NFL Draft picks!
ARTICLE COMING SOON: We went to the archives to explore Jason Candle's time at Mount Union in Ohio, where he played and coached alongside Matt Campbell (Penn State HC) and Nick Sirianni (NFL Eagles HC) as part of the winningest program in CFB during its rise.

Larry's son Vince was on staff at Mount Union and became HC there in 2013. In 2020, he joined Candle's staff at Toledo as their DC. Now he's the Syracuse DC - the two face off this weekend

Love this fit for Skyler Bell, the Bills are desperate for playmaking at WR and Josh Allen is of course one of the best QBs in the game. Plus Joe Brady in charge of the offense there

Philly to DC to Indy, what a ride. Finally home, great times in fun host cities the first two weekends. Even enjoyed the non-UConn games, college basketball (men's) is SO back.
