Re: Drink Interviews Update
I want to hire someone that’s going to help us remain a top 20 program. Not someone that might stay the longest. You hire the best candidate you fine, plain and simple. Settling on a guy because he might stay the longest is a great way to help us go from a 12 win team to a 7 win oneyosef69 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 5:39 pmWhy?

If we dont hire somebody affiliated with the program, soon enough the culture will begin eroding and our house of cards will come crashing downdiehardapp18 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 5:48 pmI want to hire someone that’s going to help us remain a top 20 program.

Re: Drink Interviews Update
I dunno but I think Clark did a good job calling the plays in Nola last year. I was there and witnessed that beat down. I think he deserves a shot.

Re: Drink Interviews Update
For the record, if Doug does a nation wide search and decides Clark is the best choice then I will fully support that. But it is imperative we do a nation wide search first

Re: Drink Interviews Update
Exactly. The reason why Boise has stayed relevant at the G5 level is the silo they have created of internal hires. You can just bring in one and dones because your culture erodes and recruiting drops. Culture is what makes App special, not coaching. We don't need the next shiny thing.

Eh take any barstool affiliated viceroy account with a huge grain of salt. Just a college kid with an inherited account at every school. Everyone is just quoting the same rumors as fact

Re: Drink Interviews Update
The culture cannot be built overnight, but it can be lost quickly.
Coaching may be a skill that is acquired over time, but continuing our culture is key to our success.
Satterfield had a learning curve as a HC, but built a winning culture over time and learned how to be a good HC.
Clark may not be as polished as Drink and may have some more growing pains as a HC than drink, but I do believe he can become a good coach and continue the culture we have built here. I think the players could get behind him as he is someone who has bled on that field like they have and being a bit of an under dog coach, could keep the chip.

We’re a top 20 FBS school. Shouldn’t
Be hard to find a top caliber coach to keep the train rolling.

Re: Drink Interviews Update
Right on. These are the sentiments I tried to express in my previous post. Drink accomplished nothing that wasn't expected, but he comes in and gets the shine. He gets a payday and we get a recruiting setback and another coaching search. Our football culture doesn't need the next bright shiny OC object, we need leaders and believers. We want them to leave for bigger opportunities, but we want coaches that are invested and take us up another notch , not carpetbaggers.The Rock wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 6:12 pmThe culture cannot be built overnight, but it can be lost quickly.
