Shoot higher than App State.

I watch a lot of college football. Not many schools develop talent better than App State. Do we want to recruit talent that is above sunbelt level of course but that doesn't change the fact that you want to develop better than anyone else.

Boise St in the mid 2000s, SDSU 2012 to present. Those are the other schools that develop talent remarkably well. App St is among the best, I agree. For an extended period of time...

No doubt. We need the stars like Eli but we need to be able to develop the Ladarius Greens of the world to really take that next step.

Has anybody heard any credible rumor as to when an announcement might be released?

Tomorrow morning

Tomorrow morning

I was thinking logically that would be the best scenario after sleeping on it . Today the bcs rankings and bowl game schedule comes out . Hard to make a splash announcement with all the other stuff being talked about.

I think that "the talk" will occur today and the official release/press conference will occur tomorrow....JMO

App State isn't bad. Though, I don't see anything special about them, and they are not the standard I want us to strive for. They are decent and can beat a bunch of SB teams. I looked for the past 3 to 4 years and they haven't beaten anyone of significance. They did lose to some other low FBS teams along the way though. Sure we need to develop talent, but it's been so poorly done at UL for the past 6 years, we will accept App State level, and I want us to reach higher.

They have been in FBS for 4 years..37-14...2 conference championships and an 11 & 10 win seasons...how about we start there. They accomplished more in 4 years than our entire history. If this next hire would go 7-5,8-4,10-3,11-2 with 2 titles in 4 years....I’ll sign that agreement right now

Not bad, still, if you set a target, don't shoot for Average. They are at best an average FBS team, nothing special. The are beating SB teams.

Yes this Football program should strive to attain the highest level possible. To launch this program we need a launching pad. We need to dominate THIS Conference and to start that could we please win an outright Championship just once? Something that we have never done since this Football Conference was founded.
