Whoops. Post got deleted.
Glad to see Dr. Wood and Orr close out the deal. Big hire and I'm glad it didn't fall through. Sounds like Richardson and Fresques are retained. I wonder if this is genuine desire to keep them on board or contract related.
Exciting seeing the immediate impact in the portal as well as retention from some of the key players already on the roster. Exciting times for Hornet fans!

Losing Donnel hurts. But. He’s going to land on his feet and do big things.

^^This one surprises me. I thought he might be retained. But if Coach Marion believes he can do better, I understand.
No worries, it’s a very dynamic time, you probably were right that moment and then it changed

As hot of a head coaching candidate as Brennan Marion reportedly was, I imagine he wouldn't have accepted this job w/o final say on his staff. But who knows for sure.
Regardless, it seems the consensus among Hornet fans both here and on social media, so far as I can tell, was the hope of retaining Coach Richardson. So this is good news in that regard.
As for Coach Fresques, best guess is he returns as the QB coach?

I was thinking the same thing Donnel P
Also agree both Bobby & Kris on contract so 100% keep them since having to pay them regardless.
Kris R. Will quickly prove himself
Bobby F not sure what he’s going to do other than QB Coach?
Any thoughts on who would be DC? I’d think that would be one of the first role. All they’ve done is hiring one DL coach and let go of the rest. Any chance Tim Skipper is the DC, just waiting on completion of the Fresno State bowl game? It’ll be hard to keep Skipper with they new Fresno St HC (both defensive guys)

Football scoop….
Sacramento State (FCS - CA): Per source, UNLV offensive analyst / quarterbacks coach Ken Merchant - who served as the teams play caller in last week’s LA bowl win - will be headed to Sac State with Brennan Marion as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Not sure Fresques role.
I'm predicting Skipper. Calling it now

Assuming to be true, this tells me a little bit about Coach Marion. It seems that most former OC’s turned head coaches tend to begin their careers as their own OC calling plays. Same often applies to former DC’s.
If Marion truly delegates those responsibilities to another, not just in title but in practice, that demonstrates a level of wisdom and humility not always found in first timers.
That would be huge if we could get Coach Skipper. We Need to pay attention to these DC and OC roles because if Marion gets us a natty in next two years and leaves, one of these coordinators will be next in line for HC here

Coach Marion has had a lot of stops giving him the ability to see various styles. Which is good to have.

Somebody closed the "Forum/Message Board" thread....But you guys should really open your own board.

Poly uses Tap Talk.
Its been great for www.aggiesportstalk.com
Just fundraise to keep the site, and manage it yourselves.
No hate.......but your BigSkyfans guy will probably delete this.
Davis, Poly, Montana State and Montana have thriving boards that are accessible and user friendly on their own.

Agreed this board is a real pos (the infrastructure is terrible and the ads are so huge). I usually don’t complain about free stuff but need to see if we can build and figure out maintenance side
Getting good advice from the Ags on Xmas day! What a wholesome moment lol
