Just imagine our APR issues if we had to replace a new coaching staff after this season.

Right now…
1 book and 5 possible. It’s likely an underbook by 2-3 but after last season, I need to see how the offense looks against WF and WSSU before i can say that for certain.

If he goes 1-21, which I don’t believe he will, he’ll be fired. His contract isn’t that massive. Have we looked at the same contract? Only the Chancellor makes more than him… He can’t afford to go 1-11 this season…but we also are likely not going to remove him with 4 years left on a fully guaranteed deal. And doing so will cause an exodus worst than the one before… And we have seen the speed of hiring at our beloved institution…it’ll be a spiral that will take a while to get out of… It's $400k a year, not $4 million a year. He can be bought out, just like every other college coach in America.

A&T can afford to pay a coach $1.6 million just to not coach here?

It's early but... the Buzzards got better despite losing their all-everything QB. the Puppies are overdue for a win against us and the Buddy-ball era is over with Berry now at the helm. we've been close against the Crooks the last 2 years. However, they had very little off-season turnover & very few transfered when Prunty left. It's still early but... I have us winning only one between the Buzzards, Puppies & Crooks. I have us winning our first (and only) CAA game against some unsuspecting school. I have us close with the WSSU Cows until the 4th quarter when our depth wears them down. I HOPE THAT I AM WRONG WITH MY 3 - 9 PREDICTION. It's still early... I get that Crooks is for Hampton but what does it mean/what is it?!?!

I have us winning 1 game as of now. What if we lose that 1 game? Should there be a change in guard if we lose that one game? Dam

I get your skepticism. I just think the following: 1. Second year in Coach JZ's defense. 2. We're a lot more experienced in our interior defensive line & QB rooms. 3. We'll be bigger at our interior d-line...addition of DeAndre Dingle-Prince (transfer from Appalachian) and hopefully contribution from some of the incoming freshmen to go along with returners from last year (Chris Allen & Kevin Broadhurst primarily). 4. Our DE position should be better & stronger at the point of attack with the addition of Joshua Hardy (BC transfer), kicking Henry Daniel back out to the edge (and he's bigger - 260+), DeTerias Glover shouldn't have to play inside at 250 or less and hopefully Rashaud Pernell (6'4, 250) gets over his injury issues. Not to mention Mitchell Etheridge being back. 5. NCCU doesn't have a QB like Richard, this year, where his run game was difficult to stop and he was a decent passer 6. See 1-4 for Hampton. 7. See 1-4 for SCSU. a&t-roy, quite honestly, i'm not impressed with coach brown as a head coach and it ain't just because we only won 1 game last season. its because i never saw "anything" on the football field last season that made me say to myself, "now that's good coaching"! meaning, i didn't see any improvements "fundamentally" on the football field. i mean, we didn't tackle better, we didn't cover better, we didn't catch better, we didn't pass better, we didn't run better, et cetera. and my criticism of coach brown is not solely based on losing 10 games. for example, coach ross loss a "bunch" of games as our new mbb coach with a team that had higher turnover than the football team. yet, i "immediately" saw improvements on the team. we defended better, we shared the ball better, we ran a set offense better, and coach ross' in game adjustments were better. hence, i feel the total "opposite" about coach ross cuz his work in his first season "proved to me" that he's a good coach despite how many games we loss. i'm optimistic and excited about the future of the mbb team, not so about football. so i'm not pessimistic about coach brown just because he only won 1 game. of course that plays a major role, but aside from that, i just never saw "anything" on the football field that said to me, "now that's good coaching". and, if that mofo comes into "air notha" press conference after another loss and says "its a great day to be in aggieland", i think i'll "scream"!! hate when someone tries to tell me that everything is great, when clearly its not... I will agree that Coach Ross definitely looked like an experienced HC. We'll see what happens in Coach B's 2nd season as a HC . Good things that I believe he's done are changing OC's (we'll see how Marsh does), bringing in several bigger interior d-linemen and an experience QB (Fomby) along with several other QBs. Concerning his press conference comment, I'm of the opinion that it's ALWAYs a great day in AggieLand! Unless, of course, there is some type of tragic event (death, etc.).

It’s not the same contract as Sam… 1.6 million buyout isn’t wise right now with all of the challenges going on.

Just so we don't get too far out of whack concerning Coach B's contact, his annual base salary is 365K.
Interesting that the contract says 5 years but gives what I believe to be 6 years (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028). So here's how I see it playing out in terms of what's left each year:
2023 - 2.19M 2024 - 1.825M 2025 - 1.46M 2026 - 1.095M 2027 - 730k 2028 - 365
Each year it get's better/easier to terminate.
Granted, I'm on the side of he's gonna fulfil the whole contract!
Let's go!

$1.8M is more than our season ticket sales...
If we had $1.8M laying around, we could pay our players instead of using it to buyout a contract.

I would suggest to you that he's looking at it at a whole different level than you are. He said it as much in his press conferences. It wasn't just about the last and previous games but about the building that was going on with the team and him having the opportunity to coach in AggieLand. He knew we were gonna have struggles in a much more competitive CAA and NCCU was NO SLOUCH. He knew we were young, inexperienced and light. That is changing as he's had opportunity...full recruiting year. It is, indeed, a GREAT DAY in Aggieland! Oh, and this is not to mentioon all the other great things going on in AggieLand!
