Well BDV,
It finally happened. Our AD, Chancellor, and BOT made a bold move in the removal/buyout/retirement of Coach Sam Washington.
Before this thread goes any further, I would like to first thank Mr. Washington for his work and success at NC A&T SU. You've done great as an Aggie Coach and will go down as one of the greatest Aggie Coaches to parade the sidelines.
Please know, you'll always have adornment and admiration from me and the Aggie Faithful as we're thankful for all you've done as our DC and Head Coach.
God Speed and Aggie Pride.
Now...
N$$,
Pull out that short list of CAA and Sun Belt coaches that Earl should be looking to hire.

N$$, Pull out that short list of CAA and Sun Belt coaches that Earl should be looking to hire. If Hilton hasn't already pulled out that list and made those calls and received an affirmative YES, then we are already in deep doo-doo. That should have been done already and a plan to bring someone in IMMEDIATELY should already be in motion. If we have to wait several weeks or more than a month then we will lose a ton of players in the portal. If this is the beginning of an upgrade then may it start with how we handle our business in replacing our athletic personnel. |

All I will say is this ain’t “Only one coach can do it” position. As long as there is a comprehensive search with quality candidates, I’m cool. I had a feeling this was gonna go down. Asking a 62-year old coach with HBCU roots to jump from the MEAC to the Big South to the Colonial in seemingly nanoseconds ain’t realistic. Hell, that’s a difficult task for ANY coach to accomplish. Coach Washington deserves our respect. He’s a great dude....but with what we’re trying to do, it’s gonna take more than him...let’s get this isht right. If not, the whole athletic dept and the chancellor need to be put on notice...

Personally, I believe he wanted to leave and buying out his contract was a nice way for him to leave and make some extra cash. |

I'd kick the tires on Ruffin McNeill, assuming we could even afford him.

Is this even an attractive job with the lack of resources going into the CAA?

I like Ruffin McNeil, but he can't be the head coach. Honestly, I feel we need a head coach 45 years of age or younger who has the potential to move this program forward. Success in a non-HBCU program (FCS or FBS) as either a head coach or coordinator is of utmost importance. And finally, we need to look at resumes....WITHOUT FOCUSING ON THE PICTURE OF THE COACH (ie. His pigmentation or lack thereof). We're in different waters now. We gotta handle business differently.

That probably aint gonna happen. We are about to lose a ton of players to the transfer portal. I would expect we're gonna lose quite a few of those recent commits too.
