Appalachian State Explodes Offensively, Earn Second Straight Title

As far as I've read, No. I did not see his name mentioned but I also didn't keep up with it nationwide.

Well they lost their coach last year and he was.

You may be correct, however, wasn't Drinkletwit in as many conversations as Napier last week?

Don't know. What his administration having to negotiate guaranteed contracts for assistants and likely a big bump for the HC? Don't know. I just know the Ole Miss thing was real and I wonder if it had anything to do with the mindset of the players.

I would love to think that we were laser focused on this game but with all the coaching rumor talk all week, I would find it hard to believe that our collective mindset was where it needed to be to compete in this game.

That apparently didn’t happen to Memphis. FSU rumors all week came to fruition. Didn’t something similar happen to FAU, their coach being shopped all over as well.

I don't know what to tell ya. I'm just saying that I feel it's very possible that it had a part in the players mindsets.

I'm not saying that other teams didn't deal with it. I'm just saying that it may have very well played a part in our focus and prep. That's it.

Boomer, I know one thing win, or lose our #10 Washington got a years worth of satisfaction after his snot clearing hit on the App quarterback. That dude wasn’t the same player after that.

And there was NO coaching rumor talk all week at App? I’m pretty sure their coach was listed on many of the same lists.

Nope not one.

Mizzou only became interested when he showed he could beat UL when it mattered.

It's the #1 factor, beat Louisiana in a championship game, get a new gig.

You took a funny pill this morning, right?

After 2 years Napier will have zero signature wins. I don't pretend to know what drives AD's to select G5 coaches, but if I were an alum of Mizzou or Ole Miss I would not be happy selecting a coach who has not won against anyone of note. That has to weigh in on an AD's decision. My bet is Napier will have to go 12-1 or 11-2 with a SBC Championship to attract higher end P5 teams.

Sure did, right after that post.
