If its Roof, it doesn't excite based on his resume alone, but truthfully, to have his experience, along with that of Drink and Ken Dorsey really set App up well for taking that next step. We've never had this level of coaching experience at App. One could also have considered Jerry Moore a journeyman when he arrived at App.

No one was excited when Jerry was hired. Everyone thought Jim Gardner had hired an old buddy who was down on his luck.

I have 2 friends who aren’t connected at State and 3 friends who aren’t connected at App. All have told me they’ve heard it’s roof. I don’t know their sources, but when 5 people who don’t know each other are all telling me one thing, logic says that it’s Roof.
Maybe they’re all smoking from the same bowl.

Let’s hope so. Smoking from the same bowl that is.

This would be like watching Kemba Walker go for 60 points and miss the game winner....

Considering everyone was convinced the HC hire was Gattis or Horton, I feel good that all the Roof talk eliminates him as an option.

This is basically my (hopeful) thinking. There are probably a couple of folks who have an idea who it will be (and won’t be), but they ain’t talking. No reason to stress over it right now, there’s absolutely nothing anyone posting on this board can do about it anyway.

Can somebody update the list if it hasn’t been done so already? Did you guys hear we hired Ken Dorsey?

1. Eliah Drinkwitz HC
2. Shawn Clark AHC / OL
3. DJ Smith DA
4. Justin Watts- TE
5. Ken Dorsey- QB Coach
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

I know who the WR coach is, but he is still not announced for a particular reason, so we will leave that blank just in case he is not fully cleared to join the staff. DG does his homework and has to approve all hires.

Now that is discipline! To know and to not even give a hint takes a man with strong character. I would like to think I could be as such, but dang it would be tough in this forum (literally and figuratively)!

I may or may not have leaked it to a couple of people.... But there is a reason it is taking a little longer to announce, and that's why I'm keeping it hush. Nothing bad, just trying to respect what I heard.
