If you want your university to be the butt of fans across the nation be my guest. When App goes to Georgia, Montana or any of its road sites next year everyone is going to say hey, these are the idiots that fired their coach who won 3 national titles.
App fans want respect as a legitimate football school (I assume this is why you would want to move to the FBS), and this is not going to help.
National Coverage or lack thereof

Must not be gaining much traction. When we beat Michigan I was inundated with texts and voicenmails from friends in my hometown in Florida. Not a single one has sent me anything. Why? Cause no one outside of NC knows or cares about it. Must be a real small Christmas Tree that no one really wants to look at.
Appalachian State, Better than your school since 1899!!!!

I promise you less than 10% of Georgia's fanbase will even know we have a new coach. Montana is a different story as their fans care about FCS and read anygivensaturday.

Why would any coach worth his salt want to come to a place that gets negative tweets? The horror.

No. That's Howie Mandel.WataugaMan wrote:"And lastly who is Stewart Mandel?"
He has that TV show called "Deal or No Deal"
Stewart Mandel is the kid everyone calls "Stewie" on Family Guy.
