First off, the '23 playoff win is meaningful as it proved all the doomers and detractors wrong both in our fanbase and for those claiming we didn't belong in the postseason. The road playoff win put that argument to bed for good. Why anyone, let alone Hornet fans, would want to discount our 2nd playoff win in D1 history to advocate for a coaching change is quite egregious.

Secondly, who from that '23 season quit that had a big impact on this season? What other roster changes/losses had on the field impacts? Sorry, your efforts to frame the narrative by viewing it from a vacuum from 2+ years ago by ignoring all the changes (both foreseen and unforeseen) makes the whole "coaching change" argument unpalatable.

We'll see what Coach Thompson does with this staff, if anything, but keeping Conklin here is the priority.

SD Hornet….
You were very concerned about our having a coaching change for our team.
Many of us thought we needed to make some changes. Coach Andy T. Made a great move for himself and a great move for Sac State Football as well in my opinion. It’s all working itself out as destiny does in the end.

The credit then transitions to AD Mark Orr whom I think is one of the best AD’s in the business. His support from Pres Wood is awesome and in synchronicity as they have recruited and retained next level FB Leadership for our program.

I personally couldn’t be more happy with what I’m seeing. The future looks bright with our program,

The building of the family of new coaches and players is his next step. But with what I’ve see thus far I feel confident this locker room and staff will be cohesive and electric to watch!

Sorry.., I’m about to say something that some might get mad at me about. But we need to raise those FB Ticket prices at least $5 seat! Just saying fellas!

I also proposed to SAC12 they should discuss having ready upon completion of our NEW FB Stadium a SAC STATE Based FBS Bowl Game called the “Capitol City Bowl!” The Bowl Game would be based in our New Stadium. Nice revenue generator for our facilities and community.
Go Big or Go Home!
Go Hornets!

If you are not on twitter today, the entire coaching staff is being introduced, and there seems to be some coordinated hashtags and graphics being shared by all committed players!

Interesting that Merchant is listed as OC/QB coach… so where does that leave Fresques since he’s said to have been retained? Recruiting Coordinator?

Ball Boy Assistant to QB Coach & OC

Just kidding. Seriously

For his ego etc and since he’s on contract. I think they will give him some type of “quality role” with QB’s. Maybe Analyst Role.

Truthfully. I like Bobby. But he ego burned him down. He never invested in himself to improve and he learned very little under TT. I was shocked at how basic he made our offense after TT left.

I lost a ton of faith in him as an OC. Hopefully he can be productive and help this new administration.
