Who?

[appstatealum]

I've spent a lot of money on this program over the years. I've gone 2 seasons now without buying my season tickets. Last year hurt my heart a little, this year it was easier. I still travel to away games and make a lot of home games, but Clark hasn't provided me with a "I must be there for that" type of feeling. I can sit at home and be pissed off in the comfort of my own home versus that miserable.drive down the mountain when we choke a game away.

Really? Put your money where your mouth is. It’s gonna take a lot

You're an idiot. It will cost us a ton more to destroy everything we've built by hiring good ole boys.

I’m an idiot? Again, put your money where your mouth is and make a call.

Won’t be donating until I know I won’t be paying for a mid coach.

I’ll send you the receipt afterwards in a dm tho

Classic. What? 2 years in? A bowl? Funded by others. Typical

Nah the second it’s announced. I’m serious. Bookmark it. I’ll send you a receipt. Not even slightly kidding.

If it’s a named fundraiser I’ll double it

[Howard Street Hooligan]

Enough of fire Clark.


Who is the replacement?

Lamb from GWU?
Elliott?
Satterfield?

It is not fair to call for a coach being fired without being able to identify a solution. Last year everyone wanted Jones fired. How did that work? Who do you have?

Ponce?

We don’t need to only look at guys that played or coached for the program. Hire the BEST you can get and see what happens.

[yosef69]

Y’all think we need to play AD.

That’s the ADs job and from what hat I’ve seen and heard he knows it’s time.

[MtnMan14]

No we hire a real firm and do a nationwide coaching search

We will have a ton of candidates. We are still a premier g5 brand we get 34k on a Tuesday.

It’ll probably be someone most App fans have never heard of, like Drink

Lol we did not have 34k. Maybe 22k or so. I was at the game. Lots of empty seats. Tickets sold sure, but not butts in seats.

Tickets sold is all that matters

Yeah which will end after we have another abysmal season. Absolutely no way we sell out seasons again next year. Unfortunately as a G5 you have to strike while the iron is hot. We’re doing the exact opposite.

[Mjohn1988]

I was there it was a great crowd for a Saturday much less a Tuesday night. That will go away pretty quick with another 6 and 6 season. We just got beat up by a team that lost to G Southern and G State. This is what mediocrity feels like. Does anybody no if we still have a weight room? Those CCU backs sure did run through our guys.

I would like to see candidates who's resumes say more than "App Guy". Let's be honest, Clark was NEVER qualified; the hope was that the learning curve would be short.

Exactly- why on earth do folks constantly think we have to hire someone with a connection? Incest ultimately leads to mental decline.

Can someone explain to me what is wrong with being a stepping stone for top up and coming coaches? Other than some grumpsters get their feelings hurt that someone dare leave beloved Boone for a bigger program/more $$$$.

The ideal situation is to hire a solid coach in his late 40's who wins and doesn't want to leave Boone. Jerry Moore is hired at APP at age 50. I also look at Dave Clawson at Wake Forest. Hired there at age 46 and ten years later, he is still there and still winning consistently.

No - this mindset got us where we are right now. Being scared of a coach leaving. Geez, some of y’all act like men who can’t get over their wife leaving them when it comes to Eli and Satt leaving.

If you want App to be a top 5 G5 program, you are going to have to accept the fact that we will lose our HC every so often. If you want to be comfortable in the 6-8 win, maybe 9 wins every once in a blue moon, then go for your plan.

Ha! Hire a firm that we can’t afford to get a guy like Drink who leaves in 10 months. Good idea

Uh yeah. 13-1 gets us in the freaking playoff most years in the new sun belt.

Do you know how much $$$ was rolling in after we best TAMU last year?

Now imagine we’re in the freaking playoffs. We have tens of thousands of relatively well off alumni that still don’t donate we could reach with a run like that

Dude. Our alumni base are teachers. We have a handful of guys who give millions. Hell, the Hooters guy alone will out do us at Coastal.. nevermind the Liberty’s “God’s money” .

For years now, the College of Business has graduated significantly more students than the College of Education.

Up and coming is one way to go. There are other candidate pools.

Clark has severed the “gotta have one of our own” connection.

But but but…all the Bill Dauterives around here are too scared of being left again. (Hopefully someone gets my King of the Hill reference)

It won’t be an ex offensive lineman, I can tell you that.

no thanks on the retreads. they rarely work out. Up and coming hungry coach is our sweet spot right now. Maybe if Saban wants a little less pressure he can come to App, thats a retread I would support.

I actually was talking about head coaches who are good, but end up a programs where there is too much pressure. In 2019 I thought Rich Rodriguez would have been good. He did a fine job at WVU, but Michigan was too big a job. I don't want Satterfield back, but he's proving to be a good G5 coach, but not so much at the P5 level. I am interested to see how Clay Helton does at Ga. Southern.

[311neers]

I’d call some offensive or defensive guru at UGA. They’re in the same high schools we recruit every year and looking to vault up in the coaching world. Also they know a bunch of SEC talent for portal action. Tree of Kirby or Tree of Saban please.

I don't want Satt back. At least not right now. He was good here because he loves App and he wanted a big job. Now he's gotten the big job(s) and his family has generational wealth. Will he be motivated to build us back up? i'm not so sure. At least I'd like to see him succeed at another G5 before he comes home again.

[Bigdaddyg1]

As much as most of us love Boone and the High Country a great percentage only love it a football weekend at a time. People clamor for those crappy weather games like it's an advantage. For a great chunk of the year the weather is awful. Not everyone wants to move their family up the mountain.
