The thing is even after Coastal he had, and still does, have a mathematical path but it is just not realistic. He has to know and I know this hurts him. I am more worried about Shawn emotionally than professionally in terms of getting a chance to land somewhere.311neers wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 4:37 pmThis checks out. Heard word big donors called in day after coastal. Next morning, Clark looked like he had the flu at his presser. I think he knew.DenverOfTheEast wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 3:48 pmWhat's the profile Gillin and Sofield want - an OC, a DC or a former or current HC?
Then it goes to:
Who is interested?
Who can AppState afford?
Who turns it down and then who is left standing?
Parker Search Firm will have the search knowing the past connection and the Parkers are members of Elk River, they probably already have a small list for Gillin to look over.
Gillin will want a hire before Christmas Break - the last game is Nov 25th, if you fire him Nov 26-Nov 30 big payday -- looking at calendar Press Conference will be around Dec 3rd - around that Auburn home basketball game meet the New coach at that Auburn basketball!!
Bet my paycheck this is already being planned this morning.
We do need a few upgrades but overall I think we have some talent and can have a big year in 2024 with the right staff.
