I am ready for it to be announced too. Then DG can interview Clark and make it a done deal. Go to NOLA with a chip again and whip some butt.
Sounds like a horrific strategy
Why? This is the only hire that would be here more than a year.
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 one

@barstoolmizzou (verified): Hearing Eli Drinkwitz will be announced as our head football coach next week. Head Coach at App State, went 12-1 this year.

If we dont hire somebody affiliated with the program, soon enough the culture will begin eroding and our house of cards will come crashing down

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.

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

I miss Jerry Moore’s loyalty. He was a great man. Didn’t agree with everything he did but he was a great man.

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. We tried thst with Drink and got burnt

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

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.

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.

Hope the door doesn’t hit him on the way out.

Gotta make Clark coach so Drink doesn’t take him.
