100 Days till App State Football 2019!!

So after 5 years of this y'all know the rules by now.

Here we go.

Coach 1st Season



Eliah Drinkwitz

Head Coach

With a track record and style that are ideal fits for Appalachian State's high-scoring, championship-winning program, Eliah Drinkwitz was tabbed to become the Mountaineers' 21st head football coach on Dec. 13, 2018.

Drinkwitz had been the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for record-setting NC State teams the previous three seasons, as he joined the Wolfpack after excelling in a similar role at Group of Five conference power Boise State.

"I'm excited to welcome Eliah and his family to App Nation," App State Director of Athletics Doug Gillin said. "The App State football program is in great position to continue its championship ways. Eliah is committed to excellence academically, competitively, socially and to the well-being of our student-athletes. There was significant interest in our process throughout a national search. Eliah has great character and a clear vision for the future of Mountaineer football. I'm excited about the future of our football program."

From coaching in high school to both the Group of Five and Power Five levels in college, Drinkwitz has proven to be a consistent winner.

Drinkwitz has succeeded while running an offense similar to what App State has used in winning three straight Sun Belt Conference championships.

"My family and I are excited to embrace and build upon the proud tradition of Appalachian State Football," Drinkwitz said. "I am thankful to the Board of Trustees, Chancellor Everts, Doug Gillin and the entire App Nation for the opportunity to be the head coach at this great university. This is a special time for App Nation, and we will work tirelessly to uphold the championship tradition."


Drinkwitz's Coaching Career:

2006-09 – Springdale (Ark.) HS – Offensive Coordinator

I can see it in his eyes. This guy is taking y'all to the promised land.

Well, I've been a bit of a slacker this year but not for want of doing this. We have had a problem, that lasted 2 weeks, with our ISP. It is resolved, for now, but could return so I'm going to get caught u p while the getting's good.
I have been relegated to using my cell for everything internet (my laptop and tablet were useless) and this is not something I could do on my phone.
So...without further ado, I begin and will work backwards (forward?). I'll get to the rest tomorrow. (It's late) Please have a look see when I'm done.
