Unbelievable!

At one point I was hoping we could get Harbison as our D coordinator. The job Eli has done putting this staff together is nothing short of amazing! Take a peak at Harbison’s resume. Not ashamed to say I’m a little giddy about next year. GO APPS!!

Who wants to do the honors of putting the final staff list together and then we can finally close out this thread for good?

I think this adds to the excitement for this hire. Southern is hating it, they were close to having him they wrote all these wonderful articles about him and boom he dropped them like a bad habit! More blood in the rivalry!!!!
FREQS AND GEEKS!

Harbison's resume is one that should garner attention for mid level P5 DC jobs. This is an incredible hire. I wonder what Duck is thinking right about now?

This staff is loaded. I’m too lazy to do the research- is here any other G5 school with this type of “experienced” staff?

And yes, I agree with the guy above, coaching is one part of the college game, the other is recruiting. We will see how that develops over time.

First time post based on reading almost every page of this historical (and at times hysterical) thread.

Now that the staff is complete, hopefully everyone who follows and supports app state football will realize how fortunate we are to have the program we do
Great players
Great coaches
Great athletic dept
Great fan support
4 out of 5 of the p5/g5 schools would gladly swap places with App State - an amazing statement after only 5 seasons.

For what it’s worth, our program has a pretty impressive batting average with change, even when the message board chatter thought the sky was falling. And each change has seemed to work out even better than the last - Charlie Cobb and Doug Gillin have taken great care navigating our our program through these changes.

Under Charlie Cobb:
Championships
Michigan
Moore to Satt
FCS to FBS
Raised over $15 mil
Major facility improvements

Under Doug Gillin
P5 schools coming to Boone
4-0 in bowl games
Unprecedented move to FBS
Raised over $30 mil, and still going
New scoreboards in stadium & gym
Major stadium improvements soon
Satt to Drink

So while each of these moves were doubted by many, they worked out pretty well - EVERY TIME

Thank you Charlie
Thank you Satt
Thank you Doug
And welcome to the Rock Coach Drink
You have amassed the most knowledgeable, respected, and well rounded coaching staff ever to be in Boone.

And to the “No Roof” chants, c’mon folks. Put down the knife and look at the track record of the people making these decisions. They know what they are doing, and have the best interest of our players and our program driving every call, email, and offer. Everyone should have an opinion and feel free to voice it. But when it comes to decisions being made the the people leading our program (unless you have been a D1 AD, HC, OC, or DC) let’s respect, trust, and support their efforts.
These Coaches can coach and mentor young men - no matter how they line up on the field. As good as our defense is, it was not a secret code known only by guys that left.

Coach D has sold the App culture and potential to some amazing coaching talent. Just think how well these guys will sell App to kids wanting be a part of something special. Our success will continue and the fall can’t get here soon enough.

Never more proud to be a Mountaineer

Drink's pitch to these high profile guys probably is "help me dominate for two years and I'll move us all to the ACC/$EC"

I'm fine with that.

Derailing a good conversation for the sake of a wasted record. Stay focused just like we are asking the team.

I was pretty down when the Roof hire was being announced. I feel so much better now, with the last two defensive hires. We have a good mix of older and younger coaches on both sides of the ball. The resumes look great on paper. Hope they all mesh well as App Family, and the players get excited about learning from them. #WinnersWin. Go get that Championship Apps!

If you had the choice of living in Boone, NC, or Statesboro, Georgia, which would you choose?

Well, we now know which one he chose.

Maybe Coach Drinkwitz will take his new staff to dinner at Dan'l Boone Inn and go ahead and get that out of the way.
