Our communication plan needs a complete overhaul in the new year. There's a plan? Could have fooled me. Somebody needs to explain to Earl Hilton that when A&T fans not happy about something the absolute worst thing you can do is not talk to us. There has to be some real game changing Information coming, otherwise this is a real F-U moment. We now know Deion’s makes $400k annually what will Coach Washington ask for to re-up?

Why is it on Hilton and not Washington to communicate with what’s going on with his program?

I think it's preferable that each coach puts out frequent information about their respective programs, but if there is a communication void for whatever reason the responsibility falls on the AD to intervene.
Especially with the revenue sports. There has to be a minimum communication standard that is set from the top.

Please stop posting that article like it is something official. That is just a rookie staff writer trying to get clicks.

What's clear is that they did not do a very thorough analysis given that we beat both the #2 and the #5 teams. This is a junk ranking as far as A&T is concerned.

How do you draw that conclusion? I was unable to locate any analysis about the strength of FCS conferences, just their version of what transpired in all things HBCU FCS.

BTW: This was the "evidence" FAMU used to justify its claim for being 2021 HBCU National Champs.
Complete buffoonery.

Why is it on Hilton and not Washington to communicate with what’s going on with his program? Because that’s the AD responsibility & job to communicate information about the institutions programs not just the coaches that report to him .

You know this just might be the time for a Zoom Town Meeting by the AD given the current state affairs during the winter hibernation. This needs to happen as we close out this year.

There has to be some real game changing Information coming, otherwise this is a real F-U moment. We now know Deion’s makes $400k annually what will Coach Washington ask for to re-up? Some folks may not like Deion (I do) but he gave the perfect speech in the post game press meeting. He took total responsibility for the lost, praised his opponent for playing better, warned his players not to hate their opponents and that he knew what they needed to do and he promised to fix the problem. After our humiliated last game, our coach said...crickets, hopped in his truck and disappeared. C'mon Coach Wash!

Don't think there was a postgame media obligation that Coach Wash had to attend after Gardner Webb. So, I'm not sure you can compare the two. And the obvious truth is Coach Wash has never lost a Celebration Bowl, so there's that.

After that disastrous season, Coach Washington should have realized he needed to say something to the alumni and fans. And because he and AD Hilton have gone into witness protection programs, Aggie alumni are blowing up social media looking for answers and angrily complaining about a&T sports! No, Coach Washington wasn't obligated to speak to alumni but it sure would have helped.

Since I don't believe we customarily have a postgame press conference, a media session the following week by Coach Wash would be a good look to put a bow on the season and speak to what you've highlighted. I do feel that the administration could do a better job with messaging and communication.
