True.

Well, it makes sense Sander went after Forbes since he was the AD at that time, not Carter. What has made less sense is Why Sander kept doing Carter's job after he retired. This is Carter's first hire I can think of on his own (at least that means anything) so guess we will see what he has got.

This is what I meant when I asked why we would pursue Quarles. I can understand he wanted to be polite and put an old friends name on the list but not seriously consider. I am still totally perplexed why a high school coach with just a few years as an assistant would be offered the job let alone pursued. Let us hope for the best.

I'm with you on the above. I can't help but believe there were much better candidates.

Yes, Billy Taylor — should have been named no later than an hour after Sanders announcement.

Guess we will find out when they update the site.
I am sure they are still "building" Quarles page. When they put it
up, they might remove some or remove them all until he makes hires
or leave them up until he dismisses them or they leave. I am assuming ETSU
is still paying them until things get sorted.

“There will definitely be some holdover from the previous staff, which is good,” he said. “We’re still trying to nail down a few other spots.”

Salary details released:

salary and rewards for achievements

$37,000: National Championship victory
$20,000: Southern Conference championship victory
$15,000: Each win over a Power 5 team
$10,000: Each win over an FBS, non-power 5 team
$10,000: SoCon runner-up

$37K seems cheap for winning the national championship - 'course that'd be on top of all the other awards leading up to that.

Interesting little tidbit:
"However, if a vehicle is not provided by sponsors, the university will pay a monthly stipend of $9,000."

Dang. So.......if I'm Quarles, I'm hoping I *don't* get a car. That's $108K extra right there. Maybe that's somehow figured in (wink, wink)? That paragraph is quite confusing the way it's worded.

George Quarles quickly is finalizing his first-ever collegiate head coaching staff with a couple of key additions and by retaining his top defensive assistant, multiple sources told FootballScoop.

At ETSU, Quarles is adding Dru Duke – a former Furman walk-on player who quickly transitioned into a coaching career – to coach the Bucs’ offensive line, after earlier Tuesday tabbing Adam Neugebauer to his offensive coordinator position, as FootballScoop’s Doug Samuels first reported.


Arguably Quarles’ biggest move, per sources, is a re-commitment to the program and an enhanced compensation package for defensive coordinator Billy Taylor, a long-time veteran of the Bucs’ program and the architect of the defense that anchored ETSU’s school-record run to the 2021 Southern Conference championship and the third round of the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs.

Taylor’s Bucs’ stop-unit ranked second in the SoCon in scoring average, at less than 23 points per game, good enough for a top-30 national finish. The group also was among the SoCon leaders in total defense and rushing defense.


With experience running defenses at UT-Chattanooga and Tennessee Tech, Taylor has been the defensive coordinator for championship teams in both the SoCon and the Ohio Valley Conference.

Quarles had prioritized Taylor’s return to the staff as Quarles puts his stamp on the ETSU program after a five-year run in roles as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Furman, where Quarles had won a national championship.

Neugebauer had turned heads at the NCAA Division II level as the offensive play-caller at Slippery Rock after a decorated playing career at West Virginia Wesleyan. Neaugebauer’s offense this past season for The Rock averaged 39 points per game and helped the team win 22 contests in the past two seasons.


“Adam has an unbelievable ability to create explosive offenses,” said Anderson (Ohio) coach Evan Dreyer, a well-regarded Cincinnati-area coach who’s worked the Manning Passing Academy, as well as camps for Ohio State, Cincinnati and Kentucky. “He can recruit at an elite skill level as well as develop offensive skilled players as well as anyone.

“He has developed quarterbacks for NFL camps, as well as record-breaking wide receivers.”

In Duke, Quarles adds a young, up-and-coming coach who’s already attracted the attention of some Power 5 programs. Duke worked with Furman’s tight ends for his first full-time on-field role before shifting to the Paladins’ offense line, the same spot he’ll man for Quarles’ Bucs program.

Thanks for the update. Really glad to see they are keeping Taylor. I have not heard of Neugebauer, but sounds promising!

Adam Neugebauer

Dru Duke

I am surprised he stayed but good for him and the program.

Yes retaining Billy Taylor is great news for the program.

Taylor named Associate Head Coach, according to Kingsport Times News/Johnson City Press.

I am surprised he stayed too as he had options but money heals a lot of wounds. Great for the Bucs!

My guess — that was part of the hiring plan from the get go.

Jay Sandos said that he thought that the Jeff Fisher discussion was real, but that Fisher wanted to bring his son in as defensive coordinator and ETSU didn't want to go down that path. Conversely, Quarles seemed to indicate that he told Scott Carter during the interview process that he wanted Billy Taylor to be part of the staff.
