Homeboy, Daryl Daye, should come back closer to home. Success at MSSU should be good enough to put him on the list.

Fritz will do a great job there. One of the best coaches that no one knows about out there.

Interesting. Are they going to abandon the triple option now?

That's funny, because Fritz is not a 3Option guy. He's a run heavy spread guy.

They're going to abandon that offense. You can rest assure they will. Not sure why Fritz left Sam for Ga. Southern other than history and a raise.

I see you are McNeese, but Fritz is all triple option. It's spread triple option, but it's triple option.

Raise and Ga. Southern moving up to FBS (Sunbelt). Fritz is a good guy and good coach. He will do well there.

No it isn't. Maybe a spread option, but the offenses are nothing alike.

Gotcha. I didn't know they were moving up. I knew about App. St. Had no idea Ga. Southern was moving up as well.

Why not

There is nothing left in FCS for Southern. The conference is dying and moving up is better for the program and the school.


eta: Nice hire by Southern and I'm a Southern Alum
