Drink Interviews Update

[ericsaid]

We need to continue to raise the buyout....1.7 is Drink’s buyout ...salary was around 900 with incentives

we keep posting 12-1 type years could actually make money on the head coaching position

Yeah IMO no way he is staying here with offers from Mizzou and Arkansas

No one knows if Drink has offers yet. I'm surprised to hear so little on Napier, honestly. With the state of the Arkansas program, I figured he would be a better fit.

Is the Furman job open?

Should be after losing 41-10 to Austin Peay

[appstatealum]

Hearing he will be interviewing for Mizzou

[NavyApp]

If he is going to go, that's fine but can this hurry up and be done. We have a bowl game to win and recruits to sign. If drink is here, awesome, if not App State football will continue to March forward.

[Rekdiver]

His agent is really working Mizzou v Ark.

Hearing he will be interviewing for Mizzou

Drink or Napier?

Drink

[AppStateNews]

His agent is really working Mizzou v Ark.

Yup. He is Arkansas plan D. And has been.

Plan C is Harsin. If Harsin says no, then Drink is ready but has a large list of demands/requests. To help leverage that, he's interviewed with Mizzou as well.

Arkansas AD has a tough decision to make. Agree to Drinks requests for their plan D and a coach with only 1 year experience with another coach's players? Or pass on him for someone like Butch Davis.

I have no idea if Drink will take the Arkansas job if offered. He could just be leveraging all of this to get more from us.

We just have to let it play out.

We got nothing left to give but years....

Not 100% true. There are some donors around...

(But likely true)

[Rekdiver]

I seriously want to take an ad out that says:” More value for your support”
UNC spent 20 million defending academic fraud. That is 6 years donations to the Yosef Club and we are ranked.

No guarantee we repeat this success next year and are most certainly looking for a complete re-load in 2021. NC State may turn things around, so why hang out and wait for that to happen. Take it young man and Godspeed. Next man up!!!

However, we are becoming the Boise State of the East with a realistic shot at a Conf Championship and Bowl appearances every year. We have the potential to build a BRAND that could keep us in the TOP 25 every year. So, if money is not a primary motivation just stay here and WIN...WIN...WIN.

Maybe Napier will take that, so he won't lose to us anymore.

If I were offered by either school, I would take. No guarantee we repeat this success next year and are most certainly looking for a complete re-load in 2021. NC State may turn things around, so why hang out and wait for that to happen. Take it young man and Godspeed. Next man up!!!

And if he fails, which is likely for any coach either school hires, you've made money while killing future aspirations.

It is what it is. Money talks. I've bet on myself, to a much lesser extent, waiting out temporarily more money and that was leveraged into exactly what I wanted.

Butch Davis would be a great fit for the Hogs.

Napier to Furman...breaking news, App schedules Furman...

I kept yelling for him to go for 2 yesterday. I dunno I still hate furple.

[appdaze]

I will never fault a coach for leaving us for that big time paycheck. That kind of money is life changing. Once you have made it to that level you will almost always have job offers even after you get fired. It is a brotherhood that just recycles.
The main thing DG must do is to continue to use our success to raise funds and create top notch facilities and support systems for recruits to see regardless of who our coach is. We have regional name recognition now. There are NC, SC, TN, and VA kids who want to come play for App regardless, and that's what matters.That is the trend DG has to keep going. The battle of coaches will come and go. School culture, facilities, tradition, and recognition are what win the long term wars.

I agree, but don't forget the Ga and FLA kids.
