Earlier this week, I reported that new Elon head coach Billy Taylor was adding Converse College head coach Ryan Saunders as an assistant (D2 DIRT). I have now also heard that Johnson & Wales (Charlotte) head coach Josh Gross will be joining the Phoenix staff as well.

Gross had previously worked as an assistant under Taylor at Belmont Abbey during the 2017-18 season. Gross played at UNC Greensboro while Taylor was an assistant there in the early 2000’s.

In addition to his time at JWU and Belmont Abbey, Gross also spent two seasons as the head coach at the Gaston Christian School (NC).

More on these moves when they become official.
