I don't see anyone on our staff taking a lateral move, now if he offers a position coach a promotion yeah maybe.

I do think some position coaches get raises this year.

My biggest concern is for Iron Mike.
Why? Have they worked together in the past?

At South Carolina. IIRC, SE recommended Mike to SS.

Maybe their new stadium will help with that. That and doing better than 3-9.

There are an awful lot of things I don't know but here is one thing that I do know. He knows more about football and more about that particular job than anyone here so I think he will be A ok. If you know Shawn you know he is a pretty smart guy who has had a reason for everything he has done. I will be the last guy to second guess him.

Not sure if he can turn that program around, but I do know his teams will show up ready to play ALL 60 minutes and we'll know we played an FBS program going forward.

I wish all mountaineers the best in their profession and this isn't going to be an exception. Good luck coach 364 days each year.

He got a chance to be a head coach. It's unlikely he would get an opportunity to be the head coach at SC without more experience elsewhere. This is likely to be a stepping stone, possibly to App once Satterfield moves on. Then he can bring in Elder who can move in to that head coaching roll once Elliot moves along.
