and more money as well. However, I tend to think the challenge of competing in one of the very best conferences in the NCAA is very alluring to competitive people
It's Schnall
- Thread starter Bubba Fett
- Start date
Scnhall was not my first choice , however I hope he does very well and can restore the program to respectability again after such a long dry spell

we will never know if there was a better option for us out there, this is a statement hire for Donati as well as being very important for the program. While this was not my first choice, I sincerely hope he meets the expectations of our fans. It is such a shame to see a once prestigious program decline to where it is. Welcome Coach Schnall and go Gamecocks!
well that's just plain strange. I will say this, Schnall's market value was lower this season due to the dramatic drop off and being bounced so quickly in post season. If Coastal had a similar season next year as this one, his market value would have declined even further. I believe this was a very savy career move by Schnall, one that has dramatically altered the financial situation for his family for a generation.
Wasn't aware of that. I don't see Bianco ever leaving Ole Miss (though he's a former LSU player) until retirement so probably another 5-10 years considering he's in his late 50s. Maybe longer though depending on how long he wants to coach. Like Van Horn at Arkansas.

I'm good with the hire. I'm safely assuming we outbid Coastal. He doesn't have a lot of years as head coach but was associate head coach at Coastal for many years so knows the ropes. His age doesn't bother me either. He's same age as Monte Lee and Shane Beamer. 49 ain't geriatric. Of course, I'll be 49 this year so I'm a little biased too.
Your avatar photo looks a smidge over 49.
Our new boy is hoping that Bianco slips on a professional banana peel or dies untimely well ahead of that.
Why would Schnall be enamored with Ole Miss? As far as I can tell from his bio, he has absolutely no connection there.
It was hard for Schall to turn down the money and I get that. But if this timing is more propitious to the coach than later might have been, then the same can't be said from Donati's side of things. He needs a home-run hire that sticks.
They'll be driving in on US 378. Meet at a Waffle House on Garner's Ferry Rd.Who will have more fans greet them at the airport - Schnall or Chizik?
Which fans will be louder?
Maybe he should talk to Kiffin about Ole Miss?
Schnall wants to coach at Ole Miss > Ole Miss is located in Oxford > Oxford is racist > Schnall is racist.
That's gonna hurt our recruiting.
Hiring an avowed racist like Schnall is going to hurt gamecock athletics across the board. No black athletes will want to play at a school that hires blatant racists.
I am confident Dawn will weigh in soon and could possibly be thinking of leaving or at least going on strike until Schnall is fired.
