DG better keep that rolodex warm, because you're right - he's gonna need it in 2-3 years probably.
Totally agree. Just pointing out the reality. Hope he and the family enjoy their time on the mountain...for a long time.
Happens all the time in CFB though. Hot names get hired. Willie Taggart had an all time losing record and got hired at a premier program.yosef69 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 1:37 pmNot really worried about him bouncing for a HC at another place quite yet. I wouldn't interview him if I was AD at a larger school until he can prove that he can win with his own recruits. He inherited a loaded roster and anyone that is hiring him will know that. As for the OC job, he would have to go to a top 5 program to make that kind of money. Too early for these conversations
Yeah it's pretty naive to think programs will wait on a guy 4-5 years like that. Do people not remember Arkansas State losing their coach four years in a row? Tons of other 1-2 year examples too.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:05 pmHappens all the time in CFB though. Hot names get hired.

Right, that’s why I said it. Of course, I see people I work with cut bait without hesitation even for a couple of extra bucks. I can’t blame Drink if a big dog comes a knocking with a HC position. I doubt he leaves for a OC unless it’s one of the big 5 dogs (Clemson, Bama, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Georgia) or maybe Auburn.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 2:33 pmYeah it's pretty naive to think programs will wait on a guy 4-5 years like that.

And people shouldn't kid themselves into thinking Drink is "committed" to reaching a certain goal or staying X number of years at App. He has zero previous ties here. He's here until he gets an offer he likes better, like any other coach.
Or he hangs around like Satterfield did, build a program and a reputation, and leave for $4 million. Sounds like it would be better to bet on yourself landing another head coaching job than to take a coordinator position.
Drink's home state's SEC flagship Arkansas Razorbacks will probably be looking for a coach come December.appstatealum wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 3:00 pmRight, that’s why I said it.

One of these years someone will probably hire Harsin away from Boise, also.AppfaninCAALand wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 4:24 pmDrink's home state's SEC flagship Arkansas Razorbacks will probably be looking for a coach come December.appstatealum wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2019 3:00 pmRight, that’s why I said it.
