I think if Drinkall is interested he would be a great hire imo.ILeatherneck57 wrote: Fri Nov 12, 2021 9:14 pm Another candidate with Western ties…

Wow, yeah. Looking at his resume, I think he’d be solid. Coached under Patterson for 2 years, from the area, was a successful HC at a lower level, and has experience at the FBS level (although Army is a bit of a different situation than your typical FBS school)meganeck wrote:I think if Drinkall is interested he would be a great hire imo.ILeatherneck57 wrote: Fri Nov 12, 2021 9:14 pm Another candidate with Western ties…

We were middle of the road (5-6, 6-5) during his two years with Coach P in 2006-07. Huge benefits for a coach at Army. Take a look at their coach list. Christ, they have an army of support staff including 5 dedicated strength and conditioning coaches just for the football team. Kids are generally quality character coming in and cutting classes not an issue for them. lolST_Lawson wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 10:10 amWow, yeah. Looking at his resume, I think he’d be solid.

Not sure how highly he thinks of WIU with the way he went out remember Tanney was out of town when Bon left and our amazing provost at that time decided he was going to give him the job until Matt got back and overturned that decision.

We’ll never know for sure, but it looks like there were mixed reviews on Yelk at the time (from the players).

Thanks for the reminder. For some reason, only the "We want Yelk" posts stuck in my mind. I stand corrected, and glad someone remembers stuff better than I do!ST_Lawson wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 10:17 amSome did, some didn’t:meganeck wrote:When I saw that name I thought maybe he was the one who it looked like was getting the job, also didn't a lot of the players supposedly want him to get the job at the time.leatherneckcountry wrote: Fri Nov 12, 2021 7:24 pm

To be fair, my memory isn't great, I just did a bit of searching to see what we were saying about him back when Nielson left.rocki wrote: Sat Nov 13, 2021 12:23 pm Thanks for the reminder.
