Makes alot of sense because it appears the power brokers in G-Vegas see the progress App State is making and likely see them as a threat to be the top G5 outfit in NC.

Congrats, BTW, on a great season App State. Proud of you.

Even last season, with a team that hung 70 on Carolina, the season ended with a bad tasting Hail Mary play at home.

This season's finale left another bad taste -- so, I wasn't surprised and especially when you factor in the current AD didn't hire Ruff.

I think it's a reactionary move, but looking from a distance, your casual CFB fan will look at both App State and ECU and see Satterfield taking the ECU job as a lateral move.

Now that I've enraged the rest of Pirate Nation, I'll grab a chair...

You're not an ECU fan, stop pretending to be one. I wish you'd get banned.

Yeah, we did that a couple months ago

Hey that's great so he will make $525,000 next year at App meanwhile ECU was paying it's coach $1.4 million and up to $525,000 in bonus money. Gosh that would be a tough call if they offered him...

Budget for new coach will be between $2-2.5 million

If accurate, proof that college football is a bubble. The college football coach will make 4-5 times the chancellor of a G5 school.

Saint, you should know that ECU's not a G5, they're a P5 lite.

Satt to ECU, could happen, ECU offers a lot more money , much better facilities and conference, and the big thing is SS will be able to stay close to the grandparents, something he insist is very important to him and his wife. But you have to wonder with the money ECU will pay for a head coach, do they really want to take a chance on a guy with only 3 years hc experience? I would think they could find a better fit that would excite the fanbase more than SS. Also, SS is still a young guy, it not like he is 60 who is running out of chances, he knows if he keeps winning in Boone, he will get a shot at a P5 school, probably in the next couple of years, why does need to make a move now, he can be patient and get his dream job in a year or two.

The dream job must be close to home. Sometimes those dream jobs don't open up or you have a injury riddled team which showcases a mediocre record.

When the money is there at a solid institution that's committed to winning (and in the same state) you jump at that opportunity.

I expect the same for Fritz if the opportunity presents itself.

I've been meaning to ask, is the pic in your sigline photoshopped for that purple? Sure looks like it.

Fritz is what, closing in on 60? Got to tell you, unlike SS, he doesn't have time on his side, he will take the first job offered to him, alittle bit different than SS. Plus because of his ties to App, he is in no hurry to leave, if he wants, he can wait a couple of years, and it wont cause him any problems.

No? It was the UNC game last year. We had ~51,000 in attendance and we have purple chairbacks between the 35s.

Where you're wrong is the facilities. ECUs facilities are old and outdated, don't even have a players lounge. They've been talking renovations for 3-4 years but no real moves yet. Our facilities are better than ECUs at the moment. After making the move from Greenville to Boone I would shocked to see Satterfield make the move from Boone to Greenville. By the time this current recruiting class graduates Scott will have his pick of many P5 job did things continue the way they are now, if not sooner. He doesn't need to go to ECU to get a P5 job, if that's his goal.

They have to already have someone on the hook. Why else would you make a change this year?

Agree, no way you fire Ruffin unless your really confident about the next coach.

Without doing anything about it? Architectural designs are taking place right now and will be unveiled along with a capital campaign in January. $60 million south side expansion with suites, loge boxes, players lounge, locker rooms, training table.

If a focus group looked at THE University of Eastern Carolina At Greenville's football season record and USA's they'd think both mid-major directional schools STUNK this year and that they belong in the same (G5) division and probably even the same conference together.

If a focus group looked at Wake and Clemson they wouldn't think they're in the same conference much less level in FBS, but in the real world they're in the same league as each other.

The AAC has had a great year, but there are several programs in that league that wish they had the football support we do.

App State helped fire Ruffin.......says so right here ^

I read on twitter that "the powers that be" wanted Ruffin to make staff changes and he refused so they got rid of him instead. Any ECU fans hear/read that one?
