Coach
Eliah Drinkwitz
Head Coach
With a track record and style that are ideal fits for Appalachian State's high-scoring, championship-winning program, Eliah Drinkwitz was tabbed to become the Mountaineers' 21st head football coach on Dec. 13, 2018.
Drinkwitz had been the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for record-setting NC State teams the previous three seasons, as he joined the Wolfpack after excelling in a similar role at Group of Five conference power Boise State.
"I'm excited to welcome Eliah and his family to App Nation," App State Director of Athletics Doug Gillin said. "The App State football program is in great position to continue its championship ways. Eliah is committed to excellence academically, competitively, socially and to the well-being of our student-athletes. There was significant interest in our process throughout a national search. Eliah has great character and a clear vision for the future of Mountaineer football. I'm excited about the future of our football program."
From coaching in high school to both the Group of Five and Power Five levels in college, Drinkwitz has proven to be a consistent winner.
Drinkwitz has succeeded while running an offense similar to what App State has used in winning three straight Sun Belt Conference championships.
"My family and I are excited to embrace and build upon the proud tradition of Appalachian State Football," Drinkwitz said. "I am thankful to the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Everts, Doug Gillin and the entire App Nation for the opportunity to be the head coach at this great university. This is a special time for App Nation, and we will work tirelessly to uphold the championship tradition."
