It's a longshot, but noteworthy nonetheless.

I will take the hit for everyone and save you from the awful slideshow format:

1. RichRod
2. Tom Herman
3. Rich Bisaccia (Cowboys ST coach)
4. Charlie Strong
5. Kirby Smart
6. Mark Dantonio
7. Shawn Elliott
8. Justin Fuente
9. Jeff Brohm
10. Satt

Considering they say Dantonio would be a "total shock," and "don't count on it," this seems more like just some guy making up a list on his own than doing any actual reporting.

Whenever I have to go through one of those stupid slideshows, I just leave, too painful.

Too early for Satt, he will have his time in the conversation with a Power Five program. However he has much more to prove and accomplish here. The youth of the program, and future wins will place him in the arena to be courted. Until then, Go Coach and Go Apps.

Maybe he can eventually go get our "other Mountaineers" straightened out

Satt and Lonnie Galloway --- always a winning combination!!!

I agree, that would be a hoot.

There are no other Mountaineers.

Just imposters.

Satt has no chance, he isn't ready, plus the Gamecock alumi, still remember us sending them Sparky, who basically set their program back years. Never understood schools love for Rich Rod, he did okay at WV, put them on the map, won a few big bowls, but the bar was pretty low when he got there, any solid coach could have improved that program, then he ran the Michigan program in the ground, basically tried to erase 100 years of tradition, from one of the most iconic football program of all time. Now at Arizona, he has brought in a lot of JUCO players, to me, that said he was looking for a quick fix, to make his program appear better than it really was, and that maybe he had made up his mind, he wasn't going to stay at Arizona long, just long enough to fool people into thinking he was/is a great coach.

Well, you are not correct in the assumption about WVU football prior to RichRod - Don Nehlen had two 11-0 teams who lost the "national championship" games to Notre Dame and Florida --- Michigan knew they were hiring a Spread Offense guru when they hired him and then didn't give him enough time to get his type of players - If I'm not mistaken he had Arizona in the PAC-12 championship game last year ---

If you wanna learn more about Rich Rod instead of talking out of your ass I'd suggest the book "3 and out". Rich Rod was micromanaged And second guessed from day one by administration and Lloyd Carr. Far from his problem and completely out of his control. Especially when you're transitioning from a pro style offense to spread. Also, Arizona is a historically abysmal program, he's got the back to competing.

RichRod is a hell of a coach who did a great job at WVU and has done well at Arizona, although obviously they've been a big disappointment this year.

Whether South Carolina is a better job than Arizona right now, I'm not sure. That might depend on where he'd rather live. He does have some fairly significant financial incentives to stay at UA long term.

I don't think Rich Rod did any damage to Michigan's "100 years of tradition" by implementing a new offensive scheme. There are NO teams that haven't changed offenses over the past few decades. 100 years ago, the forward pass was radical and the game didn't even resemble what we watch today. I agree that he probably wasn't given quite enough time to implement his program at Michigan, but the decision to change to a spread was made by those who hired RR. No reason to blame him.

look, you can have this "love fest" for Richy all you want, personally, I think their are 3 or 4 better coaches out there who would do a better job, but hey, that's just my opinion. For what ever reason, some of you seem to be taking my opinion personal, why, I have no frecking idea, the guy means nothing to App, this is just a discussion on a mountaineer message board about someone who will have absolutely no bearing on the future of App football, just calm down, didn't mean to upset some of you Richy groupies.

RichRod's name is also being thrown around in the VT conversation.

This kinda thing happens when people ain't got nothing else to beef about. Still, those guys did refute you proper

Yosef84 · Unread post by **Yosef84** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 10:25 am

Yeah, I don't see anything above that would qualify anyone as a RichRod groupie. I couldn't care less about RR. I also couldn't care less about who the Game Chickens hire, or Virginia Tech. I also couldn't care less about Michigan's "100 Year Tradition." I think people are just contributing to a message board discussion and nobody is required to agree with an ill-informed comment. Maybe you should develop some perspective or some tougher skin.

Imagine this, WVU was not the point of the post. The point of the post was that Satt is bring mentioned as an option for Power Five programs. I was a season ticket holder the entire tenure of RR at WVU. And whomever stated that the program was down and never meant anything is totally off base. Coach Don Nehlen was an amazing coach. He had two undefeated regular seasons, played for two national championships, won the inaugural Big East Conference football championship, had a Heisman finalist in Major Harris, was 149-93-4 and the all time winiest coach at WVU. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame was named national coach of the year by several organizations in 1993. Much like Jerry Moore he was the architect of an award winning program. Whomever wrote that RR does not matter, well you are wrong. He has rebuilt a program at Arizona that never mattered, he was in the Pac 12 championship last year and went to several bowl games. The coaching carousel this season is the oddest I have ever seen and we should pay attention very closely..... As coaches change many, many, many dominoes fall and they may fall in the direction of Boone, NC. And we would not be pleased, Satt could go for the money and I would not blame him.

Then what do we do? Where would we turn? I do not want this to happen, but I will tell you now when you play at the level of FBS you need to pay attention to EVERYTHING

And I love App State, I love the school, the fans, the athletic programs, and the whole APP State Universe. So do not for one minute call into question where I stand as an App fan, I left WVU as a fan years ago and love APP State.

By the way, the non relevant RR and his Wildcats upset the Utes from Utah.
