Coach Drink Staff Thread

[asu7]

I did reach out to Duck and he said that Roof played no part in the decision to leave. He trusts drink, its just his time to make his money.

That’s good to know. I don’t think he is quite ready yet but we shall see.

[AppSt94]

He is getting some bad advice.

[Chaz]

Yikes. A late rounder at very best. He’s got an uphill battle to say the absolute least. Best of luck. Next.

[ComebackShack]

[HighPointApp]

Good luck in your future Coach Cardwell.

[Gonzo]

[AppState2009]

Frig off Olsen, he’s ours!

[appstate24]

Yes...shut up Greg.

That being said, last I heard Diaz was really interested in Larry Fedora as his OC.

GO APPS!!

[appst89]

I just wanted to be #1000!!! Do I win anything? DC job? Anything?

Congratulations, you are the new head basketball coach

Dang, this thread just took a downhill turn. Really sucks losing duck. Love watching him play. He is fast, plays hard and has a lot of emotion. I wish him luck in the NFL, but I do feel this is a mistake.

Cardwell has been a spark plug on our sideline since our first championship run. He has always fired up the crowd and given his all for Louisville.... I mean Appalachian.
I kinda saw this coming with naming Watts the TE coach, but it’s always hard to see someone leave who truly wants to be here.

I REALLY hope Dorsey honors his comittment to App and comes on board. His experience and “brand” makes up for a lackluster hire of Roof if indeed it is him.
I really wish we could finalize our staff as the limbo has drawn on long enough for players and us as fans.

Yep sadly turned into a depressing football day for us.

I'm betting they're all aboard by the end of the recruiting dead period on Jan. 10th. They'll all have assigned territories by 1/10 and will be on the road or in the sky on 1/11.*

* Unless someone gets poached in the next week by some deep-pockets program like the U

It’s not all gloom and doom folks, Cardwell and Duck were already discussed on here (in certain coded language) as being gone, so no surprise there. Gasparato was the big unknown along with Roof, one confirmed, one to go.

Now, I could see Dorsey being lured back to UM, but I felt like this job was going to be a chance for him to get his feet wet with a strong program and he would be gone back to the 305 sooner than later. Just hope it’s not this soon.

Love you Greg, but stay off the Twitter and worry about your team and rehabbing that foot.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

Greg, worry about finding good coaches for the Panthers, once that happens, then you can recruit for your Alma Mater

[scatman77]

We look to have about a perfect mix of new and retained coaches. Keep on second guessing,conspiracy theorizing and whining if you like,as for me I’m excited for the future of my football team.

I am too! Hope you're doing well!

Better than I deserve Brother. When spring gets here I want you to come up play some golf with us !

Sounds like a plan! The elbow is almost back to 100% so I hope to try out the swing soon.

I did reach out to Duck and he said that Roof played no part in the decision to leave. He trusts drink, its just his time to make his money.

One of the coaches on staff told me that a couple scouts who saw him in the fall suggested Duck stay because he was borderline to get drafted. With over 100 players coming out every year I would not like those odds.

I really thought he would want to come back and do something special? He could have been part of a nationally ranked team and earn All-America honors next year.

I wish him luck and will never wish poorly on our own. Just don't think he will be happy with his decision after the draft. He should have left here a top 100 draft pick but just don't see it happening this year. If he is undrafted I will feel awful for this kid. He is the type of character I want in our players. Great guy so hopefully it proves us all wrong about what the NFL will think.

I'm not upset about Cardwell going. I like him personally and thank him for what he did but if I had to pick between Gasparato or Cardwell then I would take Gasparato.

Dorsey definitely could be lured back. We are a better situation right now but if his alma mater offers him say the same money or more (which they can definitely offer more) I'm sure he is gone.

[Gonzo]

The only thing I’ve seen about Dorsey going to Miami was Third Leg Greg’s suggestion tweet. Fedora is the main name for OC at the U.

[Appaholic01]

He is getting some bad advice.

Any insight into the advice he’s received? What have you heard?
