Coach Harris on Coach Stanton:

"Coach Stanton has already made a tremendous impact to our coaching staff. He brings a wealth of experience, including as a successful head coach, along with strong connections to the local area for recruiting. Coach Stanton understands the thought process that goes into making the decisions of a head coach and that is a huge benefit to have within a coaching staff.  When Coach Stanton agreed to join our program, I knew he would be a key addition to our staff and he has not disappointed.  I appreciate his trust in our goals and vision, and his willingness to step into this role at the college level."
