Nothing about this is good! No succession plan, disgruntled players, releasing a winning coach, and key players leaving. How do you know there's no succession plan?

Speechless.
Would’ve been fine with me last year, but in my eyes he redeemed himself this year.
Coaching is a bs business. Thanks Coach. I’m appreciative of all you did.

Well ok. This is interesting. To Coach Washington - thank you for your work and commitment. To the administration - no more asinine hires that would lead to a repetition of that 0-27 era please.

Coach Washington was a part of succession when he took over for Coach Broadway. I don't see that being the case here. That is what concerns me.

The only problem I have is that it should've happened on Sunday, November 13th - the day after we lost to G-W.
We're moving to the Colonial. Players are free to transfer. The coaching staff is free to leave.
I just saw an Aggie football team that could only beat bad teams and lose to good (not great) FCS teams. I saw an Aggie team that was notorious for amassing over 100 penalty yards per game....y'all already forgot how "Woodrow" had to check Coach Washington for this foolishness at the press conference?
There is nothing about what I saw in 2022 that said we would be fine as we were heading into the Colonial. We need better coaches. We need better players. We need a better mindset. I had a feeling this would happen.
And for the record....NO ONE IN THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IS SAFE. If any person in it, from the AD down to the janitor who vacuums his office, doesn't feel he/she can hack it in the Colonial, turn in his/her resignation.
We made the move....now it's time to MAKE THE MOVES necessary to be a legitimate Colonial conference program.

I suspect "deep pockets" had to support this move, probably the same ones that were in Martin's ear in the pressbox after last year's loss to GW.

A player who just graduated from A&T said this in my Twitter Spaces earlier tonight.
“Players are heading to the portal because they ask for things…they are told they will get them…and it doesn’t show up…”
It’s a similar sentiment that the band have said…and also some of the students as well…
There might be a bigger issue folks…

So we in the market for a football coach, men’s basketball coach, and headed to a new conference.
I have mixed feelings about this.

If a press release comes out tomorrow and says a search committee will be formed, we're up blank creek!

The new coach will probably get all of those things right off the jump. I would bet the new hire will be one of those coaches that will hold Admin accountable regarding what things are needed. Love Washington but that was not his mode of operation.
I will say it again the new coach is gone have things players need right off the bat

Either way he is gone and now we dont have a football or basketball coach. I'm more concerned with the next move than the "why" at this point. This was a terrible Weds no matter who decision it was.

That's easy to say when you are paying bottom barrel salaries and you don't have the resources or infrastructure to consistently attract FBS-caliber talent. Stating a need without providing a legitimate strategy to accomplish that need is just expressing a pipe dream.
