Re: Drink on Mac Attack
Keep in mind that our players, coaches, and recruits can read ANYTHING said about them on the internet, whether its here, CSNbbs, ASM, Reddit, Twitter, or anywhere else. Not saying that there's anything wrong with our coaching hires here, but assuming that anybody that questions any decision made by the administration here isn't a true fan is just silly.AppGrad78 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 10:56 pmDo you ever wonder about some of the people who come on this board with seemingly App allegiances? They ask questions -- on an open forum read by all of our players and recruits -- that are bound to raise the anxiety level of our players and recruits. Sometimes I wonder which team these people are really pulling for?
I stick to the neutral boards myself (no offense, but I care more about how we look to the world of CFB than how we look to the people that went here), but you don't have to agree with every decision DG makes to be a fan of App State football.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
And he got that from Jerry Moore. We almost lost Michigan because of it and I felt we changed playcalling against Troy and let them stick around for four quarters instead of putting them away in the middle of the third quarter. Hope Drink does not do this. I would like to see us be very aggressive and have our backups in during the 4th quarter most weeks.diehardapp18 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:22 amSatterfield is a slightly better Ron Rivera. Ron RIvera is terrible at coaching. Satterfield was great at a lot of things, but his conservatism was really going to come back to bite us at some point.

We have a former alumni who coaches in the SBC and told players that about Satt 2 years ago.AppinVA wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:11 amNobody specific, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.NavyApp wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:55 amI feel as if you are referring to a specific Coach.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
Satterfield with a two-score lead was a sure bet to win. He closed the play book and shortened the games. It wasn't sexy, but it won games.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
Interesting perspective. I guess when you have a defense like we had this year, 2 scores is comfortable. I remember not so long ago when only being up 2 scores made you (in general terms, not you specifically) nervous. I'm sure Penn St. may have felt a little comfort in the third quarter.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
If one didn't know better you'd think we were moving on from a coach who was barely .500 in his career. I'm excited about what Drink can do but at this point he's not coached his first game.
Don't know about the rest of you folks but I've enjoyed the last 4 seasons. That's not to say we can't improve on what we've accomplished but there's certainly no guarantee. Yes, he's off to a positive start with his staff but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have at least 4 tough road games next year. There is little margin for error if we are to duplicate this season's record. Yes, there's reason to be optimistic but I'm tempering expectations until I see results on the field.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
It is a shame we have had to suffer through our last two head coaches. They had so many shortcomings.

Re: Drink on Mac Attack
I can understand what people are saying about Coach Satterfield but I think he was fully capable of being aggressive when it was called for and then shortening the game when that made sense. No coach will ever please everyone. If he had been super aggressive and run up scores, someone would complain about him not substituting enough, or risking injury of our players by keeping them in, or showing our hand and making it easy for opponents to plan for us. It will always be something.
Fans should appreciate the position in which Coach Satterfield left the App program. We have momentum, a full cupboard of athletes and nothing to really complain about. The future looks bright!
