Early: possible replacements?

[sixtoes9134]

I would be ok with Ruff being on a list of candidates. Biggest mistake ECU ever made was letting him go.

Nah, I'd rather have Brown over Woody. I feel like it may be a higher risk but a much higher reward. Apparently Brown is already on the radar for some big schools as a potential DC. He's becoming a prominent name quick.

Basically, give it to Brown.

Would Sloan be interested in coming back? What type of offense is Trey Elder running? He's a North Greenville and could be the next guy to bring in and groom for coaching at a high level.

Agree that Shawn's resume doesn't mean he isn't a good coach. He has a lot of obstacles and time will tell. Like I say, I like Shawn a lot, and have been a Shawn apologist several times on this board.

But I stick by the statement that his resume would make him a tough pill to swallow.

Assuming Scott takes his most of staff,


Ruffin McNeill as HC
Everett withers or DJ Smith at DC

Ruff is only making 560k at OU. This could be a reality.

Shawn passed on it once...

[Rekdiver]

Taylor Lamb QB coach.....

[Rekdiver]

John Settle RB Coach

I would hope that ruff would get a call and a interview. He has coached here in the past and did well at EZU. And by all accounts he is an awesome person

Joe Gibbs will be our next coach. He wants to coach his grandchildren.

I would love to see us get a young up and coming coach with a history of winning on the way up. Houston fits that bill, but how long will he wait to finalize a decision with UNCC. At that point I would think they would want to build their own staff. Would love to keep Iron Mike though. He has done an awesome job!

Who I hope the pool will include:

Successful FCS or possibly low G5 HCs
Successful G5 or P5 coordinators

Who I hope it won't include:

Sub-.500 HCs or career position coaches who are only mentioned because they happened to play here 20 or 30 years ago

Random name: Mike Yurcich, Oklahoma State OC. He has no familiarity with the state or the school, but he turns out some amazing offenses every year. Still only 43. He makes $800k year apparently, so we could compete.

Tony Gibson- DC WVU

Read below. It even mentions him as a possibility for Appalachian State!

we aren't paying satterfield that in base salary. if he is making that much there, why would he come here as HC for the same or les? If we have more money to give, we should be giving it to Satterfield already.
I would hate to pay someone from outside more starting out than we are already paying Scott.

Remembering reading this article about Yurcich when it came out last fall. Gundy went after him at DII Shippensberg and it has worked out pretty well for them.

As someone already mentioned though, I would hate to see us pay a P5 coordinator starting out more than we can offer Satt.

Mike Minter

I may reconsider my high regard for DG if we hire Minter. There are 3 future HC on our current staff at different levels IF the timing is right.

After giving it a lot of thought and i mean a LOT of thought, I have decided to pursue the head coaching position at my wonderful alma mater Appalachian State University. I have a deep background in football...played 4 years of highschool...never really coached, but over the last 4 years I have won 3 national titles and a godaddy.com bowl on NCAA 14 on the xbox 360 with difficulty set at the very highest. Recruiting wise, I struggle a bit...can never seem to nab more than a 2 star recruit. But, just know that I will make everyone here proud.

I could be wrong but I think that with the base, hitting all of the various bonuses and incentives, and the Yosef Club appearances he could earn up to around a million for 2018. That includes bonuses for winning the Sun Belt East & Championship and winning the bowl plus academic goals for the players. It also increases some each year of the contract.

This. With incentives he could make $800k a year here. Also OK ST had a bit of a down year. Gundy is still safe as safe gets, but a few more mediocre years and the debate could change. Yurcich could look at App’s loaded roster and realize that if he can reel off a pair of double digit win seasons he could land his own P5 job
