You are arguing what the results would be IF something had happened.

I find that pointless. It's in the past and it happened. So why speculate what would have happened IF.

BTW, I've had the pleasure of meeting JM a few times, and he had been through the ringer once he landed in Boone. He is a man of strong faith, and I'm not 100% sure earlier success at App would have made much of a difference.

Satts is gone in 1 to 3 years.

The point I'm making is that you seem to think your low coaching turnover is somehow a reflection of the awesomeness of your program. It isn't.

You wouldn't have been able to keep a head coach in 2001 if they had offered him what Navy offered Paul Johnson, you wouldn't have been able to keep a coach in 2013 had they offered him what Army offered Jeff Monken. You might have been able to pay what Fritz was making at Tulane when he started there, but you probably wouldn't give him the longer contract period he got.

Here's the thing about the coaching profession: a lot of things can happen. Athletic directors and presidents and chancellors come and go. You can be fired for political reasons (see what happened with Mario Cristobal at FIU who is now HC at Oregon) whenever there's a convenient excuse to do it. Things can happen in state legislatures and Boards of Regents. Budgets get cut and governors or presidents will scapegoat athletics for runaway college costs. There's no stability in the coaching job and even if you love your job when you get an offer for a contract value that you can make enough in 3 years to be set for life, you take it.

You should thank your lucky rabbits foot you've only made 1 hire in the last 3 decades, because in spite of what so many in your fan base seem to think, coaching turnover creates turbulence.

Yeah, I never said that. We are as vulnerable as anybody. I don't think JM staying was luck either. It was just the way his journey turned out.

Like I said, Satt is gone soon. We all recognize that.

There was turbulence when JM was set aside for the future. It almost created a civil war. So it may be a difference path then GS, but trust me, our fans appreciate the dangers that exist.

I will say this. There is something to be said about the JM coaching tree. This has obviously helped with the consistency. Don't be surprised if our next hire is a another JM product too. GA St, you've been warned.

I doubt CSE leaves GA st. for another Sun Belt job, even if it is us. His trajectory skewed away from Boone as soon as he took the gig in Atlanta.

Very well could be. We'll see how deep his roots are in the next few years.

Luck plays a huge part in any coach's journey and had it not been for some incredible luck during the early part of the 2005 season JM's journey in Boone would have come to an end.

I'd just soon Elliot stay in Atlanta. Cobb wanted to hire him instead of Satterfield but Shawn was convinced he was destined to be the next HC in Columbia. Although he flopped as interim HC Spurrier' had influence made sure he was retained by Muschamp. But after one year Muschamp told him to look for a job. Talk about luck.
Had is buddy Cobb not landed in Atlanta Shawn might well be coaching OL at some FCS school.

App vs GS one might say is a quintessential rivalry that leads to such silly threads but that person would not be from Boone as in Boone they think quintessential is a foreign word.

wrong Bro.

No one who speaks English as a first language would ever use the term quintessential and Georgia Southern together. Ever. That's why I questioned your use of the English language. Either you do not know what that term means or you simply mis-used it.

Now, an appropriate use of that term would be: "Georgia Southern has the quintessential drainage ditch running through campus." That would be correct.

As much as I love Appalachian, I don't think anyone has ever termed it a "quintessential" university, nor should they.

Proving again you don't know the meaning of the word. Regional university fans gonna be regional university fans

When did GS people start pretending to be scholastic? Did merging with that broke down school in Savannah give y'all a false sense of worth?

Looking down at App only makes you look more delusional. It has kind of become your identity these days. I very confused and delusional fan base. You're like the old man that just talks gibberish at the end of the bar.

Scholastic? I guess since day one, since scholastic means of or pertaining to schools although it is usually used to describe high schools and not universities. Another case of regionalitis I see but I have a suspicion you did not actually graduate from App for some reason. We don't have to pretend either we are on the right side of the fence of recognized national universities, with ranked programs and a carnegie doctoral university classification. Are we Havard or even uga not close but we are at least we are in the same neighborhood as far as classifications and growing.

Armstrong was a great small regional university like App just way smaller than GS so it got consolidated. Nice campus as well. Also a thriving DIV II powerhouse in a bunch of sports. Just like Southern Poly with Kennesaw which was another really good small regional tech school. It was just a money saving move for the state and is not ending. If you were not ignorant about the situation you would know that but being ignorant seems to please you. Stating facts is not looking down and not know the meaning of a word is just funny. The facts are since moving up you have, a few wins and two bowl wins over us and your best win so far is Toledo, congrats. I am sure with competent coaching we might be able to close that HUGE gap in accomplishments one day. For App, GaSt, CCU, USA and TXST to some extent are all still in a FBS growing marathon right now, not a sprint, he who laughs last laughs the hardest. We will see who has the highest ceilings before to long and I am not worried at all.

If you say so. App and GS are very comparable. Requirements are similar, acceptance rates, graduation rates all similar. I do see our endowment is double yours. What would be the explanation for that?

Scholastic; relating to school or placing a great emphasis on education.

I'll rephrase it so you understand. When did GS people start pretending to put an emphasis on education?

8-2 over the past decade. Scoreboard!
