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.

Tomorrow morning

If it is announced tomorrow morning that HUD has been let go, will a new coach also be announced? Do you think a search has been conducted over the last 3 weeks or so, or will they start the search now? Just curious.

I believe this has been in the works for almost a month. Nothing concrete on that, just things I've been told. I don't think we're very far away from naming a new HC.

We aren’t even average and that took us a 100 years...took them 4 seasons to get 2 double digit win seasons...they are way above average and will be out of this conference before we even get a call. They are taken seriously in the football world and we are a joke. I️ wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss them. If this realignment happens in 2020 I️ promise you their ticket is already punched.

But you have to admire what App State has done in their first 4 years in FBS. You don't know if they're done yet. They may become the next Boise State. I think those admiring what App State has done are correct. Being "like them" isn't our ultimate goal. But it wouldn't be a bad start to catch up to them.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case, especially with the swift and decisive nature of our new AD.

Is this to much to ask?

I think not!
