I also love the script Davis helmets. Wouldn't mind seeing them going forward.

Maybe I'm just seeing ghosts of athletic departments past. I could totally see that happening under the last couple administrations.

I kinda like it. Is that going to be a permanent font or was that just for this poster?

That could be, but who is still coaching this season who has connections to Hawk in the past? I use that as a standard as all of the other coaches that he has hired have seemed to have worked with him before.

Official schedule released and it's not an easy one.

Wholeheartedly agree. This should be on the top of his checklist. I'm assuming that Hawk has some sort of vision for the offense (and the team in general) and is going for guys that will help make that vision happen, as opposed to hiring guys that will come up with a plan on their own. That way Hawk can still, at this point in time, go after recruits he thinks will mesh well with whatever coordinator he does hire. I think we are also going to be aided this year by going after JUCO and transfer guys, I know we have a handful of offers out to some of them and there is quite a bit of activity on twitter between them and the staff. There is also one guy who is committed to an FBS school that I think we have a chance of flipping (I wouldn't get hopes up, but I think it's a possibility).

I too, wonder why we haven't found an OC yet or at least one that we know of... and at this point if we do have one I don't know why it hasn't been announced. Seems kind of weird to move onto hiring positional assistants when the top dogs haven't been taken care of yet. As others have mentioned, and it would fall into line of Hawk trying to reassemble coaching staffs from the past, I wonder if he is in the process of trying to get Wulff on board from Sac? I don't know though...

Really? C'mon man. Yes, of course it is still an honor even though it may not be the biggest or most advertised of tournaments. It's still an opportunity for him to represent our country at an international event. They could have picked any coach for the job and Hawk got it. I'm not sure why we're trying to downplay an accomplishment. Did any of our other coaches ever coach an event like this?

As far as I know we have not hired an OC, unless the rumor of Speckman handling those responsibilities is true... but that is just a rumor. Speckman's updated twitter profile just lists assistant head coach and RB coach which lines up with what the press releases about his hiring were saying. I agree that this should be a top priority right now.

:-O Way to go Aggies!

So, cool story about one of our commits. QB Niko Harris has been out most of the season with an injury, but he was good to go for Sierra Canyon's State Championship game. So his first game back from major injury is the state championship and he ends up pulling out the win! Shows the coaches there have a whole lot of faith in this kid.

I mean, it's an honor that Hawk got chosen to coach it and it is an international event and everything... but it's not really a huge deal (at least in my opinion).

Yeah I know, but I was just talking about positions that I think Cody Hawkins could have with this team and I don't think QB coach is out of the question. I agree with you that there is no way he should be an OC though.

But I could see Cody as QB coach which we don't currently have. That was Daft's position who is clearly gone.

Well... yeah, it's about what you'd expect. Dan Hawkins was clearly the most famous name on that staff...

Speckman updated his twitter profile and it says assistant head coach and running back coach, so I guess still no OC? I would bet money Cody Hawkins ends up on the staff. It looks like Hawk is just reassembling the coaching staff of the US National Team from 2015.

Coach Jerry Brady coached with Coach Robert Tucker at West Hills College and played at Sioux Falls, where Coach Tucker also coached. He was the defensive line coach under Coach Hawkins with the US National Team in 2015.

Coach Isaiah Jackson coached at Sioux Falls, where once again Coach Tucker coached. He coached linebackers under Coach Hawkins with the US National Team in 2015.

All of our coaches have connections to the past.

I haven't found anything on the new commitment yet, but I did notice that the coaches have a new hashtag on twitter. All of the new coaches have put it up on their twitter profiles. It's #AGScension

EWU tries to lateral their way to the end zone but come up short... devastating loss for the Eagles. It will be James Madison and Youngstown State going to Frisco to battle it out for the championship.

TD stands, but the refs put 1 second left on the clock.

Youngstown State scores a TD with 0 seconds left on the clock... wow.
