Nothing against you or your friends, but Appalachian needs a break from the BuzzHousCape coaching tree. We need new, young blood for a program on its deathbed. Those guys had their day.

Yes. I really like McMahon and think he'll make a great head coach, but last time was the time to hire him. Now is the time for a new group. We can't complain about the state of our program while continuing to hire within the same gene pool because we're familiar or comfortable with certain people.asu66 wrote:Nothing against you or your friends, but Appalachian needs a break from the BuzzHousCape coaching tree.

Frankly I like the Fox hire and the time and effort CC put into this decision!

Re: Basketball coaching staff predictions/suggestions
Although I have been critical about CC's hiring process and his declaration that our next coach would have a winning record as a HEAD coach and with Sunbelt experience, I do hope that Coach Fox can get this program turned around in the classroom as well as on the court. We deserve to have a quality program in BB as well as the other sports that we field. It is great to hear the accolades from the others outside of our program for Coach Fox. Time will tell and I for one am hoping for the very best. Good Luck Coach Fox and welcome to AppNation.
