Heard that Clark was a finalist for the ETSU job but didn’t get it.
Still think he would make a good OL coach somewhere.

I think for him it is best to land a FBS OL job. He is better fit for that rather than take a HC job at a place that is a rebuild with their HC leaving. A lot less stress to just be an OL coach. I hope we see his name pop up going to a P4 school over the next 3-4 weeks.DenverOfTheEast wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 10:21 amETSU called Clark, Clark politely said No Thanks -- never interviewed. Clark is being patient - has heard from 4 P4 Head Coaches - letting things play out til after Bowl season.
Are not most jobs open due to coach leaving or terminated and become rebuilds? In today's football to landscape, once coach leaves for whatever reason, a multitude of players enter the portal..AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 10:56 amI think for him it is best to land a FBS OL job.

That is true. I was thinking more in this case because ETSU was a 3 win team before Lamb got there and he is likely to take all their star players with eligibility plus most of the coaching staff and support staff with him on top of normal portal attrition.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 11:17 amAre not most jobs open due to coach leaving or terminated and become rebuilds?

With that said, if I were him, I would take a P4 job, if offered. Supposedly, this was his dream job. So, taking a break from HC opportunity may be good for a bit.
I believe he was on his way to Missouri with Drinkwitz when he got the Appalachian job.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 11:25 amThat is true.

Considering we are his dream job I am with you that it would be good to take a break for a position coach job for a while. Looking back on it I wonder if things had been better for Shawn had he started out as a FCS HC and been named our head coach after a few years experience as a FCS HC.
I don't know for sure on that. We will see if Drink makes a move to try and get him now.AppWyo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 1:50 pmI believe he was on his way to Missouri with Drinkwitz when he got the Appalachian job.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 11:25 amThat is true.

I heard Lamb would still be at ETSU In four years when App’s next hire hits it big, and then we could re-evaluate.
Yeah that 7-5 record etsu had this year really jumps out. You still never address the choke job they had to miss the playoffs. And it seems like you’d be doing backflips your boyfriend is getting paid more at Tulsa, a place he hasn’t won anything at yet either btw.ericsaid wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2024 7:33 pmI heard Lamb would still be at ETSU In four years when App’s next hire hits it big, and then we could re-evaluate.
Oh wait, he’s in Tulsa, getting paid more, yet wasn’t even interviewed by App.
Logic checks out. What’s done is done. I’m not optimistic. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity. Make all of the excuses you want for why the entirety of the resume is less than mediocre, but you are what your record says you are.
When App, NC State, or ECU start taking the same approach, that's when.
Do you know if he wanted to be interviewed by App?ericsaid wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2024 7:33 pmI heard Lamb would still be at ETSU In four years when App’s next hire hits it big, and then we could re-evaluate.

It's inevitable. I never understood how so many people didn't see where "paying players" was going to lead. The old system needed some work, but NIL wasnt even close to a solid solution. It essentially killed collegiate athletics as we know it. They went from interns to employees (with no standards or regulations to boot)
I've heard incredible things about Lamb as a person from people that know him personally. I was open to the idea of him, but I also thought the hype was a little...exaggerated. perhaps in the old college landscape, he'd be something to build around, but I honestly lean more towards the guys who will treat this as business bc that's what it is now. Lamb is a "feel good" guy, and that didn't work here.Seattleapp wrote: ↑Sat Dec 14, 2024 7:43 pmYeah that 7-5 record etsu had this year really jumps out.
