Satt or Fox?

[MAD Doctor]

Yet another crazy offseason hypothetical:

Who is most likely still a head coach at Appalachian State at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, Satt or Fox?

[8993]

It truly depends on how their seasons go next year. If Satterfield has another 10+ win season, he'll garner a lot of attention and could be gone a year from now if the right offer comes calling. If Fox has another poor season with more team turnover, he could be looking off the mountain for a place to call home.

[MAD Doctor]

Exactly.

With regards to this topic I'll refer to one of my favorite movie lines; I use it all the time:

"Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you say some beautiful, and righteous?"

Kelly's Heroes. No negative wave intended. Optimism for both situations, with a dash of reality.

Interesting one. I suppose if you wanted to really be a downer you could say neither. Though at least that would mean continued success in the short term for football.

If I had to guess, I'd say Fox will be here, Satt won't.

[BUTCH1991]

Both

[CVAPP]

I hope both, but if one departs the one that will still be here is Fox.

[AZAppGrad]

If we are really lucky, both will still be coaching for us.

Just saw where Satt got the extension. I know it likely doesn't change anything if a good P5 program comes calling, but it's great to have him "locked in" even if it's on paper. We are so fortunate to have a successful coach who truly bleeds black and gold. Congrats coach.

And, not only does he bleed black and gold, he knows how to win too!!

I would lean Satterfield. Fox has a huge hole to dig out of and is running out of time to correct the issue.

Both teams with be national champions in their upcoming seasons.... AND we'll still have our coaches. Why does it smell like a skunk in here?

Assuming Satt has another 10 win season, depends on the job offers. Not sure if he'd take a P5 job if it was a really terrible job? Yeh more money in the short term, but hypothetically if he ends up at a terrible job in an unwinnable situation (Kansas, for example), fired after 3 years and have to start the career climb all over. Or wait another year and be more selective (NC State level program, for example), but risk a bad season at App and the offers are gone. For purposes of this question though, I'll say Satt.

Still better than being part of the Prig5 conferences. Oops I mean Prig6 conferences. I don't want to offend the mighty AAC.

The kicker is Satterfield knows the door will always be open for him at ASU if/when the job is available. Timing is everything, of course.

I mean, I don't think App would be turning down any P5 invites if one came our way...

All of them claim to bleed black and gold until an enticing enough offer comes along.

Here's hoping you are right
