Goss joins Monarch football staff as wide receivers coach

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Methodist head football coach Jim Sypult has completed his coaching staff for the 2005 season with the hiring of C.J. Goss as the wide receivers coach. Goss comes to Methodist following a five-year stint as defensive line coach at Brockport State. In addition, Kerry Parker will move back to the offensive side of the ball to coach running backs after coaching linebackers the last three seasons.

Goss continues the pipeline of Methodist assistants that previously coached at Brockport State. Offensive coordinator and associate head coach Dave Eavenson was defensive coordinator for four seasons, while defensive line coach Wade Boxleitner rejoined the Monarch staff this season after two seasons as defensive backs coach at Brockport State.

A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Goss was a part of a Brockport State program that advanced to the NCAA Division III Playoffs for four straight seasons from 2000 to 2003. He was a part of a defensive staff that molded Brockport State into one of the top defenses in the nation, leading the nation in scoring defense twice while being ranked in the Top Five in several defensive categories.

In addition to his football duties, Goss was an assistant for the track and field program at Brockport State.

Not only did he make his mark as a coach at Brockport State, Goss did so as a player as well. He lettered four seasons for the Golden Eagles under Eavenson, and started two seasons at defensive tackle. As a senior, Goss recorded three quarterback sacks.

Goss received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Brockport State in 2001.
