Coach Drink Staff Thread

[ukappfan]

All I know is he has made great hires so far. So I feel confident he will make a good choice.

Anyone familiar with Kevin Patrick from NC State. Went to Miami(played DE there) and has coached Dline at USF(I think while JPP was there), Texas Tech and NC State. Coached Bradley Chubb into perhaps the guy that will win defensive ROY in the NFL. Worth an interview and started at NC State around the same time as Drink for the pack. Anyone heard this name thrown around? Looks like he makes 340k a year.

If he’s making 340k, I doubt we can offer him higher. Brown made 200k last year and I think woody was around 250k when he left

Looked it up, he did in fact coach JPP as well. Couldn't hurt in recruiting being able to say you were the position coach for 2 of the best to do it in the NFL over the past decade.

But does he have experience working with the 3-4?

At Texas Tech, yes.

[Lenoir App Fan]

I’m sure that there are some that would want to, but are they qualified?

Not sure but it's a start. Just would like continuity on the defense.

Cool. I didn’t realize they played defense in the Big 12.

The Iowa state thing can be attributed to an account saying they’d like Veidt but in the tweet it sounded like he was comfirmed hired

[scatman77]

I know nothing....don’t t even have a hunch.....

You sound like Sgt. Schultz.......

Anybody heard any rumblings of Casey Woods at UAB as our new WR coach? No sources just looks like he and Drink have crossed paths many times and been on staff together at Auburn and Ark St. Happens to be the son of Sparky Woods too. Anyways just passing time until the next coaching announcement. GO APPS!!

Not the name I’ve been hearing but wouldn’t rule it out.

We already brought in a guy, very solid with a great resume, but DG was waiting to clear something up with him (hence why it has yet to be announced). DG has been very involved in the hires, which is unusual for an AD, but nice considering DG wants to help ensure our culture thrives. Im pretty sure this individual will be the next coach announced.

Naive post but isn’t Watts the WR coach? I know he was retained as an “offensive assistant” but not sure if position designation will be made at a later date. Anyone know?

Earlier in this thread, others indicated he would coach TEs.

Someone tell me how to feel.

[asugoapps]

Well our kick-off and coverage team has not been great for several years now so I would hope it’s an improvement.

[Appstate88]

He’s big.

[appstate77]

Comes from La Tech.

Feel like a champion. Act like a champion.
