Dowell Loggains

Also, not to nitpick here, but something that really bothers me is that whoever designed this didn't even edit the USC stadium out of Loggains' glasses. You can still see the burgundy/red endzone and everything. I've worked in marketing for nearly a decade now and these sorts of things, the lack of an attention to detail when blasting out major news to the entirety of NCAA FBS football, drives me crazy.

This should have been caught and corrected before it ever went live.

I think this is very definition of nitpicking.

Cool. Then I’m nitpicking something that standouts pretty clearly.

I will reserve judgement until i hear him pronounce "Appalachian correctly the first time.

If this is the low point of the Loggains era, I’m here for it. “Glasses-gate”!

Nice attention to detail, marketer.

Why is this hire such a shock to so many? Was it the best we could do? Well, yes probably so, because in 5 years we have gone from being a G5 power to a G5 that loses more than they win. This year we downgraded from average to below average. Guys with big names and stellar resumes also have the luxury of waiting for a better gig than APP is right now. This guy has a lot of work to do. So, lets get on board, support the man and hope he turns out to be a great coach for us.

I don't really buy this.

App isn't a G5 that loses more than we win. Our record under Clark was still a winning one, even if it wasn't consistent. We're still the same App that beat Texas A&M and UNC on the road. We're still the same App that held our own with Penn State and Tennessee. We're still the same App that hosted College Gameday and shocked JMU when they were on cloud 9.

We are still a premier brand in G5 and FBS football. We might not get every big name we want, but I don't think we're frequently being snuffed the way you are suggesting.

Coaches and even players don’t view App the same way that we do as alumni and fans. Most, not all coaches view the job as an ends to a means. How much can I make and how fast can I move on. We all love Boone and would call it o home if we could. Coaches don’t view it that way. It’s a job to get paid. Period.

I’m 100% ok with that if they win championships, treat our home with respect, and leave it better than they came in.

If Loggains does the above and is out in 2-3 years, that’s a win in my book.

I get that. My point is that a guy choosing between Boone and say Ruston, La isn’t going to be swayed by the God’s Country discount unless he has some ties to the area. Would you live in Boone for $1 million a year? I know that I would. Would you do it if you could live In San Marcos for double?

Point is, it doesn’t stand out. My wife and I both had to zoom in to tell. We wouldn’t have noticed, or cared, if you hadn’t picked the nit. We’re not marketers though. But we are marketed.

I will reserve judgement until i hear him pronounce "Appalachian correctly the first time.

Finally. A voice of reason.

What do we do if he says it with a Y in it?

Regarding recruiting, this was encouraging to hear:

I think that constitutes voiding the contract.

[AppDawg]

Supposedly he is already in Boone and met with the team immediately after BOT approved the hire. Reported by SC beat writer on X.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

If he says Roll Neers, I’m rolling his car into Duck Pond.

Honest question. Before today, how many people could name more than one OC of an SEC school? If you woke today and were told we were getting one, most would be excited. Let’s give it a chance.

True very true .

I knew Mike Bobo and Kane Womack. I win!

Womack is a DC.

Well darn. Guess I only know one then lol

My initial disappointment in the hire has cooled off now. Still have some skepticism of the hire but will be giving my full support to coach and the team

Looking forward to seeing the staff he assembles and what talent he’s able to pull in the portal these upcoming weeks

[biggie]

Just expected a non-exciting hire and expect rebuilding years to come. So hopefully I’m proven wrong quickly. And hope this isn’t the beginning of the end of App football that we’ve come to know and expect.
