I don't think it's fair to insult the players. I'd also donate $1k to Yosef for you to say that to Helms/Parker/Ross/etc.
To say there is no dominate talent on this team is not an insult, it's truth. True, those are all good players.
But the problem is we have decent number of good players, yet not enough dominate players.
Ok. I just have a sneaking suspicion you wouldn't tell the players I mentioned they are not "alpha males" to their face.

I don't think it's fair to insult players who have played hard for us and just been on bad teams (or badly coached ones).

I also find it amusing that guys on the internet will insult the masculinity of players who would kick their ass ten ways from Sunday.

No apologies.

Aren't you cute ... would like to provide proof otherwise? Or just use sarcasm instead of provide any logical argument.
Maybe you can prove your point to me by you expressing to Coach Clark how you feel about his job? Maybe?

Only you can provide proof you'll walk up to Isiah Helms and call him a beta male.

I eagerly await such proof and will gladly donate the specified sum when it is provided.

This is dumb. It’s a fan forum, he can say anything he wants. Just like none of us walk up to Clark and tell him he’s fired.

To my eyes he didn’t call out any players by name until you did.

1st, You assumed an insult.
2nd, You named players.
Seem like proof is on you.

So tell me, why did you name the players that you did, and what is it about them that make them the "alpha males" that I "insulted"? I'd love to hear since you seem to be knowledgeable on the subject. I'm sure you can enlighten us all. Please share.

Soooo ... the only proof you got is that they can kick my old fat ass??? Pathetic argument.
But gheez, if that is the standard to being an alpha male, no wonder we're losing to teams like ODU.

UCF went 0-12 then 13-0 two seasons later. Of course it’s fixable. We are App State.

Wow, a twist on the "my-dad-can-beat-up-your-dad" argument as proof of the presence of alpha males on current roster for the checkmate! Brilliant!

Now, if you can only find a way to incorporate "I-know-you-are-but-am-I" into proof of an effective blitz package and polish it off with a "your-momma" defense of DG's performance, you will score the trifecta! Bravo!

Wrong, Nate Johnson #90 will have hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown at him this off-season to transfer, we lost but it wasn’t because of #90. He was a beast out there. Go watch it again.

We can fix this. We have a history and one of the best fanbases in the G5. Georgia Southern drew just over 21,000 for their game. Few G5 programs come close to our attendance. WE can fix this. Can Gillin?

I don’t think Clark is capable of fixing anything. You can’t let employees choose their supervisor and you can’t let student athletes choose their coach…We have progressively gotten worse. He is flying the program straight into the ground. I don’t believe Gillin will be able to justify this much longer to the donors, he will have to do something.

Nate Johnson as a true freshman is just finding his groove, imo. Dude is gonna be a beast.

All in all though, don’t see any improvement with current staff, unfortunately. And if the powers that be also agree and make changes after season, I agree with others that it will take 1-3 seasons to get back to the top. (I.e. recruiting, departures, minimum 1 year of continuity of a new staff)

I partially agree with you. Nate is a true freshman ... I agree he shows promise and can be very dominate, maybe play in the league, if he continues the growth. But he isn't there yet. There were several plays where he hurt us in the run last night. I noticed coaches having to explain some things with him when he came off the sideline after their 2nd TD.
He played very well, but didn't just take over the game ala ADG or Marco Jackson. Although, I think he will eventually get to that level.

Again, I point to our rivals, GA Southern. They went 3-9 in Chad Lunsford’s last year, and he was fired mid season. Last year, they brought in Clay Helton. He went 6-7 with a loss in the Camellia Bowl (and beat App, if y’all somehow don’t remember). Southern is 5-2 currently. If those idiots can do it, App can do it. Firing Clark isn’t going to send App State football into the wilderness unless they make another bad hire.
