Where are we at as Appalachian football?

[Saint3333]

I’m concerned about giving us 10 days to prepare.

[DenverOfTheEast]

I promise you one thing the next head Coach won't be playing as tough a September schedule as Clark has faced, DG and Everts will protect the next guy for sure.... next guy will want to see the schedule and he will say aint no way we playing 2 P5's in same year.

Read James Franklin article this week about non conference schedule and look at G5 Liberty schedule has done, they are 6-0 against a bunch of no bodies.

Any coaching candidate that is afraid of a challenge such as playing two P5 opponents doesn't need to even bother interviewing for the position at App State.

That's more of an opportunity than anything.

Franklin isn't wrong with his comments, however Michigan is following what worked for years for SEC schools and even Ohio State up until they recently started playing better OOC opponents. Go undefeated, let others fall, climb the rankings, allow back ups playing time, then all you really need to do is beat Ohio State and Penn State and you're in the playoffs.

Until they eliminate the preseason rankings which carries a base for the eventual CFP rankings later, it will continue to be this way.

You clown you dispute my point and then prove my point all in the same post.... damn. read what you just typed and then chew on it and get back to me...

Last warning for personal attacks.

[AppDub]

A lot of personal attacks on here as of late. Many good posters have left as a result of it. Sad to see.

You have no point. You're comparing Michigan and Liberty in the same post. The same way you try to make a correlation between Saban and Clark. Michigan can do what they do because they're P5, and going undefeated and winning the Big Ten is a guaranteed ticket to the playoffs.

Liberty played nobody, plays in a nobody conference, and not a single vote on the AP poll.

I am confused though because in the past you said you were hoping for 7 win seasons so that we can be miserable as a fan base. Doesn't an easier schedule mean a possibility for more than your desired 7 wins?

And again, any coach looking for an easy schedule can kick rocks.

Gold = Sarcasm to make you guys get all tore up, which I more than accomplished.

You want 10/11 wins at App State dummy down the schedule like Liberty, that gives you a chance at the G5 playoff spot. DUH. If you can't beat UNC and go 11-1 you going to Montgomery again and again and again.
Michigan wins 2 games they are in the final 4.

Liberty will be in the playoff before anyone else, they will manipulate their schedule yearly. And yes last week they got votes as well as Wyoming. Get some data before you come at me young boi.

and it does, Coaches smarter than beat writers that eat free food from the press box. you lose again '09

Most of those coaches don’t even know they have a vote in the poll. It’s some athletic department intern filling out the ballot.

The AP poll isn’t much better though.

Thought those might be the ones. Two posters that belittled others that held views different than their own.

News claimed threats with no proof. Strange behavior before disappearing.

94 is still around, but the results speak for themselves and his defend Clark at all times approach has become hard to justify.

Neither poll is great. But congrats to Liberty for getting the same amount of votes Duke would be given by Spurrier on an annual basis. Not sure what I lost. It's not a competition for me buddy.

I just assumed News was busy attending more games in Boiling Springs to see that NFL running back.

Sorry you had your differences. I always appreciated the information shared.

[T-Dog]

App State is 9-10 since extending Clark right before the Boca Raton Bowl in December 2021.

To me, it's just depressing. Watching last night's game, it was another close game and I wasn't excited. I'm tired of close games.

Which was the point of my original post. Too many insults flying on this board within a group of people who should find more to be connected around than pulled apart by. It's a shame we are at this point. You can have the last word.
