Greenhalgh verbally agreed but then GaSo ponied up a lot of cash. Kent didn't get approved by Gillin. Bielaniec showed his interest late in the search and Clark and Gillin jumped all over it -- that's a good sign.
Correct. Even better, I’m hearing the locker room really likes this guy. If the kids are hype about the hire, I’ll take their word for it.

What was his concern with Kent?
Long story short, Mcelwain threw Kent under the bus at Florida.
It’s a very “layered story”, but AppStateNews is all over it. And to answer the question above, it definitely wasn’t about money.

Seems positive he managed the budget and nutrition program as well at previous stops. Id assume that is regular with a head of S&C, but i dont know...

Comes to us from the Redskins as a DB coach. Was the DC at Valdosta State before that.

Pretty solid pedigree right there...Valdosta is historically a good program. The Redskins, not so much, but anything within the League is pretty decent.

I like to see career progression and he's young but seems to have climbed the ladder with promotions and bigger jobs. That's a good sign. I like his NFL coaching experience too, we might be able to lure recruits with that kind of background.

And he hails from Florida. That's been a fertile recruiting ground for us. He should be able to keep it up.

I assume Coach Rowe replaces Coach Harbison. Looks like a great hire. GO APPS!!

Looking much different than last year.

Nothing wrong with that, assuming Dale Jones will be added soon, what are your thoughts with the current staffing? Seems like, not a lot of defense....
Taken from AppStateSports:



Shawn Clark Head Coach/Offensive Line
Greg Gasparato Safeties
Garrett Riley Running Backs
James Rowe Defensive Assistant
Pat Washington Wide Receivers
Justin Watts Tight Ends/Recruiting Coordinator
Brad Bielaniec Director of Athletic Performance

Definitely a lot of spots to fill on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully Gas (if he stays), and Jones if he indeed comes back, will provide the continuity they need and if Clark brings in some good new defensive guys we will be ok.
Riley may or may not actually be on staff, and I'm starting to wonder about Washington, You would think the current staff would be announced soon if not already if they were staying.

Jones is coming back. He just hasn’t signed his contract yet. The new guy is pretty much a lock to fill the CB position. He has 3-4 experience and will be a valuable assett to the group.

Just saw this. Not a name that was on anyone's public radar (on here, anyway).
Talked to Matt, Jeff and Brad

So far so good. Not quite the App State family with some of the new hires but they look good so far.

GO APPS!

Rumor is Gasparato is out.
Cannot confirm yet, but I don't think Gasparato is on staff anymore.

I REALLY hope this isn’t true. Gasparato is legit, an absolute rising star. IMO, should have been named DC, at the very least Co-DC. This would be a big blow. GO APPS!!

When it was announced Watts was staying and then nothing on Gasparato I wondered.

Coordinator contracts take longer to work out the details.



That's all I'm going to say about three people that have been mentioned previously.
