Where’s the Info?

A lot of bitching and complaining tonight.

This must be killing you. I know how dissenting opinions bother you so

Opinions do not bother me. What bothers me is the national shame that was brought upon the football team and athletic program when a player assaulted another player with his helmet. This video continues to be the most viewed video in App State Athletics history. That event changed some things in the athletic department. Unfortunately, the fans have to bear the brunt of those actions and changes more than any player had to, which sucks.

I disagree with this. The incident should have zero impact on a coach or coaches (OC/DC) giving a periodic interview after fall practices. That's hogwash

Disagree all you want to. It’s not the football coach’s responsibility to produce media content.

I agree with you. He doesn't want to do extra media stuff, he doesn't have to. Pretty sure it's not in the contract. And despite what a few folks on this board insist, I sincerely doubt a 3 minute post-practice interview would move the needle of interest in the program. Folks just want content to look at and talk about, even if that content is meaningless. And, I'll repeat what I said before, more interviews, videos, etc. are just more opportunities to say/do the wrong thing in some people's eyes and court controversy.

Real Gs move in silence like lasagna.

So punish an entire fan base because of one idiot who shared a video of an event that (hopefully) will never happen again? That seems off.

It is for him to give interviews. No one has said he produces a damn thing. Coming off the field after practice for 5 to 10 minutes answering softball questions...if you believe that is not part of his job, you are clueless yourself

I actually used to think those periodic videos/camp updates that Pierre Banks did were kind of worthwhile. If we at least had that it would be nice

I seriously looked forward to these every day. Would love to have those back.

GO APPS!!

There just isnt much money in covering App. State. Outside sources have slowly moved on over the last 15 years. They rode the wave of wins like everyone else but that wave crashed. The inside problems of not putting out info is on our athletic department 100%. The outside problems are capitalistic. We arent worth covering as much. I use to talk to the guy that ran our yahoo rivals page for years and he said that App fans in general just arent willing to pay subs and whatnot for outside sources to view App info as valuable. Killed his motivation and eventually he moved on.

We've got 2 or 3 years to turn this around or we will see a true exodus of interest and fans.

If we rebuild a winning program the coverage will follow. The hardcore fan wants more info(!), the other 90% of the fanbase aren't really interested in following every pre-season practice or roster detail of a losing program with players that are often here for one season, they just want to win again. As others have mentioned losing Ethan Joyce and WSJ was a huge blow, but if we didn't tank they would probably still be here.

This makes sense now for why you are the way you are. You didn’t despise Shawn for his coaching record, you held him accountable for your personal feelings of an event that had nothing to do with you and went after anyone and everyone that didn’t meet your level of vitriol. The incident in question happens far more often than you think on a football field in the heat of battle and the coaching staff wasn’t complicit in leaking the incident to the public. Yes it was unfortunate that it happened and even more unfortunate that some kid thought that it would be OK to send it to his buddy. All parties were dealt with. Maybe not the way you see fit, but it wasn’t your decision to make.

And how exactly have the fans been left to bear the brunt of those actions?

The fact that you have allowed this to affect you so personally explains your need for personal growth.

Hard to give soft interviews to the media when he kicks them all out before 11 on 11 sessions.
