Alright App Guys Talk to Me About Shawn Elliott
I have a friend in Columbia with zero ties to Georgia State. He is a USC alumni. He sends me a random text out of the blue that says...
Quote:Hearing around here our interim coach is going to be your head coach next season.
We text back and forth and then about 20 min later he says
Quote:apparently we aren't the only ones talking about this.
Dan Wolken - USA Today
Travis Haney - ESPN
He is currently at $430k at South Carolina. So salary would be a raise compared to what we paid Miles. Maybe a complete rumor, but we aren't exactly the team to throw in a rumor to sexy it up. His tenure at App State and AD Cobb's overlapped about 6 years.
What are your thoughts about him?

Please no. He is an App guy, and he will whip your program into shape. That's all you need to know. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't poach a few guys from Western Carolina's coaching staff so you can look into them if that is the case. Looks like Cobb is bringing Appalachian to Atlanta.

Makes sense with Cobb there. Probably not good for GaSt that he is the interim head coach at SC. If he gets things rolling he will get plenty of offers.

That was my thought too. Hopefully it is a slow start for him, and he stays under the radar.

RE: Alright App Guys Talk to Me About Shawn Elliott
would be a great hire, players love him, and would run thru a brick wall if he asked them to, but, don't know if you can afford him, and if he does a good job with SC for the rest of the season, probably going to get better offers than GS. Odds are probably low you get him, but who knows.

Great coach. USC will likely try and go "higher profile" but would love to see Elliot get the USC HC job next year. GaSt would be immediately better with him at the helm.

Our championship run ended after he left for USC.

Man, that would be a really solid hire for you guys. If/when Satt ever gets poached, I was hoping for Elliot to replace him. Speir will do just fine though.

RE: Alright App Guys Talk to Me About Shawn Elliott
I agree with T Dog. Shawn is a firey and emotional coach. His personality is perfect as a OL coach or D Coordinator (he played DL at App). I've known Shawn a long time and although we've had our differences I really like him as a person. However, he is not someone I would want as a head coach at App. I prefer the calm personality of Satterfield for a HC. He projects a sense of having everything under contol and there is no panic to him. Scott was always cool under pressure as our QB and pulled out some big games. You guys can have Elliot, we'll keep Scott.

Thing is though, when we were losing, a bunch of our fanbase was all over Satterfield for showing no emotion on the sidelines.
