Re: Coach Moore
Looks like the board jumped in the time machine last night. Jerry Moore and faculty unrest? Say it aint so.
Sure hope Doc Brown can fix us up with another lightening bolt to get us out of this hell hole.

Re: Coach Moore
Are you stalking me? For someone that seems to not like my post you sure do spent a lot of time reading them! But then lemmings do have to have someone to follow, don't they? Or maybe you like to subject yourself to abuse, but either way whatever gets you off.ASUMountaineer wrote:Maddog1956 wrote:Better not say that here all the lemmings, will tell you what a minor impact Moore had had on football here.sixtoes9134 wrote:A little saddened and surprised no reference to thank Coach Moore today.

Maybe if you would get a life instead of stalking others, you would know what that it's ok for people to agree to disagree.

I'm assuming that you want people to read your posts or you wouldn't be posting, no? Besides, it's not stalking (that's illegal) it's trolling...something you seem well versed in.
I have no problem with disagreement, I just have a problem with someone exhibiting a weak mindset by resulting to name calling. It's just sad. Surely you're better than that, at least I hope.
With that said, I was unaware that having "a life" meant calling anonymous people names on a message board. Thanks for the heads up!

BTW, Trolling is trying to bring anger to a individual or group and stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention (which may or may not be illegal). I have no idea of your intentions, so I used the term that depends on how the action is received, not given. However I'll certainly add the "trolling" label to you as well if you're are telling me that your actions are intended to bring anger. It makes not any difference to me.

Re: Coach Moore
I think the announcement was done well yesterday and no reason to bring the Coach Moore situation to the surface during that time. Jerry will certainly get his well deserved recognition for all he did for the program in due time. I can't think of any controversty with Erk and GaSo and after all he truly DID lead the start-up of the modern GaSo program and got them the NC in record time.
Two different situations.....both handled just fine IMHO.

Re: Coach Moore
Agreed. It's sad that you can't praise the coaches before Jerry without some viewing it as an attack against Coach Moore. He did great things for many years, but Appalachian was winning football games long before he got there. Everyone played a role!Saint3333 wrote:Sounds like our fans need a history lesson Appalachian football didn't start in 2005.
I sure hope the fans that jumped on late stay.

Re: Coach Moore
It sad that someone can't ask a question (or start a thread) about Coach Moore without everyone down playing his importance or saying that he wasn't perfect or had issues no one knew about. Like him or not (everyone has a opinion) but his numbers over 21 years speak for themselves.JTApps1 wrote:Agreed.

It seems pretty clear to the 30K+ that fill the stadium how important he was, believe me I was there when there were plenty of empty seats.

Just some of the numbers.
10 of the 18 conference champs
3 of the 3 national champs

Re: Coach Moore
And it's even more sad that, as much good as he did for the program, he tried to hang on too long and allowed the program and his career to be somewhat tarnished. It was actually time about 2 years before "it was time". I have always thought a lot of Coach Moore and still do but I hate to see legends stick with it a little too long and cause themselves to not get the accolades they deserve. I believe that with time will come healing and he will one be reconized and honored properly. In the meantime we can't let it weigh us down and hinder our current progress.

Re: Coach Moore
I don't have anything negative to say about Coach Moore. I have always respected him, and thank him for everything that he has given to Appalachian State. I don't think that his name not being mentioned yesterday was a slight to him in any way. I sincerely hope that the Coach Moore and App State can reconcile and that we can honor Coach in the way he so justly deserves.

Re: Coach Moore
Sorry but I don't think the program is "somewhat tarnished" and it didn't sound like the Sun Belt did. In my opinion, it may be at it's pinnacle, but only time will tell. But you're entitled to your opinion!goapps93 wrote:allowed the program and his career to be somewhat tarnished.

Re: Coach Moore
Considering Coach Russell orchestrated the birth of GSU football he deserves most of the credit for their success. Before holding the press conference announcing they were starting football someone had to run to KMart and buy a football to put on the table. Coach Moore benefited from having the people you mentioned construct the foundation that allowed him to succeed. The guy who seems to get lost in the conversation is Jim Brakefield. He guided ASU through the transition from the NAIA to NCAA D-I and deserves a great deal of credit for what took place yesterday. In my mind that 1975 season is still the greatest season in Mountaineer Football history. Five years out of NAIA and we knock off an ACC school, South Carolina and a ECU program that was probably the 2nd best in the state. And he did it with about 50 scholarship players.sixtoes9134 wrote:Kidd, Duggins and Sparky were not nearly as important to App State as Jerry Moore has been.
Erk, regardless of how long ago, was what put them on the map too.
Mack Brown and Sparky Woods really deserve credit for preventing the program from potentially sliding into Western status. They picked up the ashes from the Mike Working fiasco and sowed the seeds that grew the harvest Coach Moore reaped. People tend to forget Coach Moore inherited a championship caliber program that was a win away from the national championship in 1987. Sparky left Jerry a boat load of talent yet it took him 13 years to get back to the semi finals.
Every one of those coaches played a part in getting us to where we stand today. Each one benefiting from the success of their predecessors.
