    Re: SoCon shakeups

    Can't figure out how to post photos, but Furman has introduced new "old" jerseys. Uniforms sort or replicate the classic Furman look and jettison the garish black combinations they've used in recent...

    Re: SoCon shakeups

    Longer games plus more accessibility to content isn't a great mix for attendance.

    Interestingly, I looked at the numbers the other day and was surprised at the findings. Wofford and the Citadel...

    Re: SoCon shakeups

    I have not run the numbers, but I expect attendance is down probably most places. Even Nick Saban has to get on to Alabama fans for leaving early.

    There is far more accessibility to games now...

    Re: SoCon shakeups

    It is sort of a strange argument, that a team that struggles historically with attendance and doesn't even field core sports (baseball) would be looking to move up.

    I think the SoCon, perhaps...

    Just reading reports, I do think there is cause for concern when your budget increases 7 million (or whatever the number was) without a necessary increase in revenue and you rotate through head...

    Just my opinion, App State was far better prepared for the move to FBS than Georgia Southern was.

    To paraphrase a former Georgia governor, to fix the problem sometimes you need a better class of player.

    Perhaps symptomatic.

    Since Paul Johnson left in 2001, Georgia Southern has not had a single coach last more than 4 seasons. Tyson Summers barely survived one season. They lost a bunch of coaches...

    I get the impression that after signing day, there is a whole other round of coaching changes.

    Re: SoCon shakeups

    On defense, Furman hired Chad Staggs from Charleston Southern. As FCS hires go, its hard to argue with that move. Staggs ran one of the top defenses in the subdivision. I expect he would have also...

    Wilson looked like a solid hire, but I'm not terribly worked up over NFL teams poaching our coaches. Lamendola is a young guy who is our third hire with Air Force ties.

    Furman is going to look...

    Charleston Southern has sported one of the nation's best defenses the past few years, and Furman has raided just about every coach they had on...

    Been some confusion on that.

    All reports are that Quarles is coming to Furman. Seems his role will be position coach and assistant head coach.

    My guess is Cronic will coach the QBs. Quarles...

    Re: SoCon shakeups

    There's a risk in being so dependent on a single player, I think. Player may be a great one, but at some point, he's going to go do something else.

    Good luck to him.

    Watching Air Force highlights, the Falcons essentially run what Furman used to run with a bit more option thrown in.

    I expect Furman to do on offense what we used to do - throw it 15ish times a...
