End of an era :(

Who wants to watch an App loss? Not me. I would love to watch again the game right before that one- quarter finals @ Richmond, won in the waning moments.

Should've won this game in the waning moments as well. Quick caught 10 balls including a few on that last drive but just couldn't hang on.

Armanti was slinging bullets his senior year though.

I still say Charlie Cobb telling Scott Satterfield he needed to go somewhere else in order to take over for Jerry Moore was complete numbskullery.

When he left the play-calling and QB development went to crap, all for basically nothing. Yes, I'm saying that knowing we were 1-2 against App 2009-2011.

Jamal Jackson getting hurt was an issue. Pressley was never a pure passer, though he wasn't bad. Ended up being quite the DB against Georgia Southern (might have been Wofford?) when Jackson took over the starting role. I still think Jackson had the ability to be something special at App until that injury really derailed whatever progress he was making.

Satterfield probably needed to learn what football was like outside of Boone and the Southern Conference though. Never really heard of him speak of how it impacted him professionally.

Overall, I think a very telling sign of Satterfield's feelings of App came from his Louisville introduction, "...we've accomplished all you can at App". That mindset isn't entirely accurate nor true, when you consider what a win versus Penn State last year could've done for the program; or perhaps a win at Penn State and avoiding the let down against Southern. App would've been in the Top 18, most likely, and been in the same talk as UCF.

At any rate, it's over and done with now. Doesn't seem Drink is content with sitting on the accomplishments of the past. We will see if he can exceed what's been done before or if he pulls a Tyson Summers?

That's two extremes. He could also be a Chris Hatcher.

That was my next go to. I remember the 52-14 beat down in Boone, wondering what had happened to Hatcher. Seemed like a decent coach but running any offense other than the option at Southern appears to be a death warrant. I'd rather see Drink be the Scott Satterfield of 2005-2008. The youthful and excited to be in Boone Satterfield.

There is always improvement to be made and the "we accomplished everything" attitude, if said by anyone other than Satterfield, would be met with vitriol.

I think we've had about every type of failed coach there is.

1. Guy who can win with someone else's players but can't recruit and develop guys (Chris Hatcher)

2. Guy that has discipline and APR problems that slowly poisons the locker room (Mike Sewak).

3. Guy that's just good enough to not get fired but not good enough to get another job (Tim Stowers).

4. All-around incompetent guy that just blows everything to smithereens (BVG, Summers).

You can potentially get any of these when you hire a first-time HC. It's easy to say you won't end up with a #4 if you hire a guy with a good resume, but Tyson Summers is now a Power 5 DC and WKU got Mike Sanford from Notre Dame, who was their OC.

He was at Murray State for a few years but has spent the last several seasons at Samford. His QB won the Payton last year, so that gives him two winners he's coached so far.

Hatcher just wasn't ready for the level of competition at Georgia Southern.

I think Hatcher's season got much better when he put in the USF transfer late in the game against YSU. I still never thought he was a bad coach. Hard to transition Southern from the option though.

I have a feeling that Georgia Tech is going to go through the same hurt and eventually be clamoring for the glory days. Perhaps being in the ACC will help with recruiting to fit their system but it's going to be a full recruiting cycle long process.

I assume (because I haven't paid attention to it) that his recruiting got better at Samford. The expectations are also a lot different there. He recruited a lot of guys that either never panned out or were academic nightmares when he was at GS. They were studs but either quit or couldn't stay eligible. He also tried to keep one eye on the option here where he doesn't have to at Samford. He can run his own offense without any backlash there.

very few people at GT feel the PJ era was the "glory days". A lot ignored his good seasons because they thought the TO was boring and stupid.

Man, I don't know. App's offense has been a variation of some 70's and 80's style veer and I thought it was fairly boring to watch. However, it's about complimentary football. I like to watch Southern on defense because they have some bigger guys running the same defense App runs and it's cool to see how nuances change based on personnel.

I have a feeling that Georgia Tech is going to go through the same hurt and eventually be clamoring for the glory days. Perhaps being in the ACC will help with recruiting to fit their system but it's going to be a full recruiting cycle long process.

very few people at GT feel the PJ era was the "glory days". A lot ignored his good seasons because they thought the TO was boring and stupid.

They aren't wrong...

But 2-10 and 3-9 is going to get old real quick.

If ECU was running it to perfection you wouldn't think so.... 05-stirthepot

Man, I don't know. App's offense has been a variation of some 70's and 80's style veer and I thought it was fairly boring to watch. However, it's about complimentary football. I like to watch Southern on defense because they have some bigger guys running the same defense App runs and it's cool to see how nuances change based on personnel.

I will admit if I was not a GS fan, I would not have anywhere near the affection for the true triple option that PJ ran and that we ran for so long. When run to perfection, it is impossible to stop. But that can be said for almost any offense. It provides a lot of places for the defense to screw up and therefore makes it easier to break big gains, and it hits so hard so fast that three yards and a cloud of dust will beat a defense to death too. It allows smaller, faster guys to excel at it and is a game changer against bigger teams. BUT, when the defense figures it out and stops it, boy is it hard to come back from that. 03-banghead

I'm not a true "flexboner" as we call the nuts on our board that think it is the ONLY way to win. But I do love to watch it run, when it is run well and would love to see some of it back in our bag of tricks.

Since mid 2014 under Satterfield, ya'll were a hair width away from being an option team really. It was definitely old school football though, running that stretch from when Shanahan was with the Broncos, just with a new look to it. There was a good bit of read option incorporated with Lamb as well.

I mean....if how I felt watching ya'll play the last few years is how bored ya'll feel while watching us, then I get it.

It really depends. Watching Breida was fun because you never knew when he would pop through a seam and be gone. You guys haven't had a home run threat like that since he graduated though, making the offense seem more mundane.

However, it's not necessarily a bad thing if it leads to wins. Programs who care about what it looks like as they win don't usually win for long. Sustained success comes through fixing the nuance of what makes you successful. Georgia Southern and Navy (recently) have mastered that (aside from Tyson Summers).
