Why only the one year extension???? Seems like he is moving in the right direction.... How about a better vote of confidence.

Good for Coach Wagner:)...........I heard also that Sparky Woods was approached by an S.E.C. school to leave VMI.......he didn't.xsmileyclapx

Why only the one year extension????

If my memory is correct... he was given an initial 5 year contract.... he's now in the third year..... this will make for 6 years total..... sufficient time (I hope) to produce a winner.

6 years gives him three years with seniors he has recruited. Not sure an extension was necessary with three years left on the contract though. 2-14 in the SoCon shouldn't warrant an extension, they probably could have waited at least another year.

Yep, and in 2004, most of the appy fans wanted to fire Moore after a loss to WCU.

Too bad you didn't get your way !!!!

[Saint3333]

Some not "most" wanted Moore out after winning 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6 games from 2000 - 2004. I wasn't a vocal Moore cynic in 2004, but I do not blame those that were for wanting better results.

I was however a vocal Laney detractor and look at what that got ASU. 3 NCs, improved baseball, starting to turn basketball around, and the best facilities in the SoCon.

If you'd like to change the subject from granting extensions for below mediocre results I don't blame you.

WCU fans are happy with the extension..... why do you even care? Did anyone ask you for any money to support WCU athletics???? xbangx You have to pop in any time WCU is brought up on any board, are you obsessed with WCU?

[Saint3333]

Don't give WCU that much credit... I also comment of Furman, GSU, Wofford, etc. Perhaps you see a trend there...

[catamount man]

the entire conference knew that whomever WCU was gonna hire was gonna have a long hard road so one think that as far as SoCon coaching stability goes, the conference would be happy for the extension. Guess Apps don't care. Again, why chime in....................it follows from one board to the next........to the next..........to the next...............

Yep, I see a trend, another Mountaineer obsessed with WCU athletics or just obsessed with putting down WCU athletics. xnodx
