New Head Coach - Eliah Drinkwitz

[JonW]

State fans will appreciate this, they were ready to run him out of Raleigh this year.

If there's one thing I've learned about sports is that State fans usually have no idea what they're talking about.

This is true, very true. Their biggest gripe was mainly over one game - the loss to Wake Forest in which they did not target their top receiver once in the red zone.

I think he is a strong hire with great in-state ties now (thanks to the time at NCSU) and already established ties in the SE.

Crying a bit because it's not Gattis... BUT I have a little hope for him now.

Eliah has done an excellent job at his stops and has spent time at G5 programs similar to ours. Out of left field but I love it.

Yeah I'm having a hard time finding any complaints.

Maybe Wake keyed in on their guy?

State fans are unrealistic.

Brother in-law is pissed!!! He is a big state fan and season ticket holder. He says he is phenomenal!! Way out of left freaking field. State's issue hasn't been their offense it is their defense. State is the equivalent to UGA when Mike Bobo was there and Grantham was DC and they were giving up like 30 a game but would win bc they could just outscore folks.

Didn’t see it coming but I’m ok with this decision and think we will see some fresh offensive plays. Like others I hope he retains Ivey!

[biggie]

Seems I would have preferred Gattis. Hope it works out.

Still hope Ivey for DC.

"Told y'all it was going to be Drinkwitz"

-Some guy who just joined YC last week.

It's a good hire. Should be able to bring in some good recruits, and keep the success rolling with what Satterfield & Company have already set up.

I've always said, we will always be a stepping stone. His resume with average tenure, complimented with the fact he is young, and what was mentioned above...I think we search for a new coach again in 2-3 years. Which isn't a bad thing. It means we are winning. Hopefully we can drive Yosef Club Donations between now and when that happens.

Now, let's see that contract!!!!

[yosef69]

Can't find anything wrong with this guy. Nc states offense this year wasn't their issue. Finley was a beast. Hopefully this guy can bring out the Penn State version of Zac Thomas

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Drinkwitz sounds like a guy that prefers ice in cups.

[WarApp]

I'm going to withhold judgement. Good coordinator. But I don't think this guy gives one crap about App State.

[appstate77]

I see the ball soaring over the center field fence! Great call DG!

[kornegaylw]

Woah...people this guy out thinks himself and gets very fancy on play calling when all you need is a yard. He didn't change anything when Ryan Finley regressed this season and basically ignored the run against UNC.

[Appstate88]

He knows how to beat UNC CHeat.

Sounds like the equivalent of lining up in the shotgun and telegraphing a draw play up the middle, no?
