Some of you guys getting bent out of shape about rumors on a board. There haven’t been many hires Gillin has made where anyone has been able to say with any certainty beforehand who it is gonna be. I don’t see this one being any different. R E L A X
All the fan twitter accounts trying to hint like they know we've made a hire but none of them actually know who it is :lol:

At this point, I just wanna know so I can get back to arguing with people that we'll national champs with the new coach.

Update:

UNC WR COACH Lonnie Galloway was interviewed.
South Carolina OC Dowell Loggains was interviewed.

Carry on.
Got a complete list of candidates that have interviewed?
I do not.

I would imagine there have been small talks in the last 72 hours with at least a dozen or agents of a dozen.

4 that I know of for sure -- always multiple it by 3. Neal Brown is probably less than 20% at this point, If SMU wins how much can Casey get by beating Clemson, 2million a year as OC, he probably stays at SMU.

So now this is where the search pivots and all I have been saying previously comes into play.

Just remember #TEAMCLARK beat Curt Cignetti, Jamey Chadwell, Jimbo Fisher, Billy Napier, 1 dropped extra point from beating Mack Brown.... just saying - the expectations for the new guy is through the roof!
I don't remember any goals stated as beating certain coaches. The goal is to win championships and compete for a CFP bid. Any self respecting potential coach would look at the top program in the conference and think "surely I can do better than 10th / 11th in the conference".
Folks on both sides of #TEAMCLARK love to cherry pick stats. Naming some coaches he beat might be the worst one I've seen.
It'd be just as easy, and probably more damning, to list the coaches Clark lost to. He beat Napier but also lost to him. Lost to Charles Huff twice. Lost to Chadwell's replacement. Lost to Clay Helton a couple times. He was the first App coach to lose to ODU and Texas State. First bowl loss. First season not going to a bowl. First losing season in over a decade.

You can go back and forth with stuff like that all day.

Interesting how we're hearing multiple things.

The guy who.just interviewed Brown is saying that "While he didnt address it specifically, I wouldn't be surprised if he took the App State job"
While others are saying we've hit a roadblock and Brown is destined for WKU if/when it opens.

We would have so many on suicide watch if that is true. I don't see any way Gillin would make that move. Could it be Kirby Moore?

If so then I am afraid we are going to have a lot of people on here and 247 that might need to be put on suicide watch.
And Gillin should buy a one way bus ticket out of town.

I loved Kellen as a coach/player. I’m sure Kirby is solid as well.
Give me Kirby and the irony of him facing his alma mater at Boise next year!

I actually chatted for a bit with LG a few weeks ago. His son plays for Providence Day in Charlotte. Not sure how he would do as a head coach if I am being honest, but he is a nice guy. I lost respect for him after the WFU/Ville scandal:

This scandal alone immediately disqualifies LG.

Do they release LG’s name to piss everyone off, so then whoever we do pick…will cause us all to be relieved and happy?

Listen, I’m trying to make it make sense…

No, people are just dumb. Read one thing on twitter or facebook then come here posting it claiming to have "sources"

Would be a good test to see if an informant would leak information. Too juicy to not disclose knowing the masses would revolt.

Well played.
