Don’t know. Obviously Gilbert wanted a HC gig. McNeese didn’t have a lot of money to work with, so God only knows how those stars aligned.

McNeese might finally see the light. This hire is outside the SLC/McNeese ties, which has been their chosen path for decades. Win or lose, breaking that hiring tradition may be a selling point or breaking point with supporters.

If you go by USF fans reactions, you'd swear Gilbert wasn't going to be their OC next year. They are all rejoicing that he's leaving

They went outside the family for their basketball hire as well. And, for that matter, their AD hire.

If they were smart, they'd be demanding their head coach leave instead.

Yup, Simmons replaced by an outsider. Their AD probably pointed to the lack of looking beyond the network as s hinderence.

McNees should do all it can to retain their roots. I’d bet they’re going to regret this move away from the tree.

Update on App State’s coaching search

At this time, sources tell FootballScoop, NC State offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford is a legit candidate for the job. Western Carolina head coach Mark Speir has interviewed, as has interim head coach Mark Ivey. Each of these three have significant coaching experience at App and Ivey played in Boone as well.

In addition to these three, sources tell FootballScoop a number of coordinators, predominantly on the offensive side of the ball and from or familiar with the region, have sought interviews. Additionally, a number of experienced head coaches have called in as well. Auburn running backs coach Tim Horton, who previously coached at App State, has been mentioned as a candidate by many.

Gillin has a number of excellent options to carry the program forward. We’ll keep you updated as more becomes clear.

That could be interesting, we get them at home next year..but that liberty team beat Troy this year so they aren’t void of talent.
