Not 100% confirmed yet but sounding like Blake Anderson (North Carolina OC) will be named the ASU HC... expect confirmation tonight with a press conference tomorrow.

Maybe you have someone that will stay awhile. It is ridiculous what that program has gone through with coaches the last several years. Really pretty amazing that they haven't fallen to 1-11/0-12 type seasons but instead are still having success.Originally Posted by gschwendt
It'll be interesting to see what he can do at ASU. Agreed that it's amazing that they haven't gone over the cliff with so many coaching changes. After what he did as OC at Southern Miss, as well as his time at North Carolina, it should be fun to see him at the helm of ASU.
If so, I'm happy for him and ASU.
Sources tell us Blake Anderson will be the new head coach at Arkansas State http://t.co/sNnVtycOD5

Eastern Illinois' Dino Babers to Bowling Green.
Coaching Search says Anderson is not 100% done deal... I heard this rumor earlier in the day but I didn't believe it would work out anyway... seems it's still possible (however small) at this point.

Arkansas State: A source close to the situation has confirmed with CoachingSearch that despite speculation this evening, North Carolina offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Blake Anderson does not have an offer from Arkansas State at this point. A different source tells CoachingSearch that Arkansas State officials are making a run at Clemson offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Chad Morris, tonight. If Morris declines, Anderson could emerge as the guy, but any information right now suggesting that he will be the head coach at Arkansas State is just a guess.
AState has not hired a coach tonight.

Blake Anderson's contract will have a buyout of $3M after the first year, $3M after the second year, $2M after the third year, $2M after the fourth year, $1M after the fifth year.
I'd say we should have him for at least a couple of years.
Glad the kids will have some consistency hopefully. Talk about a roller coaster ride.
After most folks were saying "who?" in relation to Anderson, he seemed to win the crowd over at the press conference. He answered everything candidly, said he wants to be a part of this community, etc. and wants to see his daughter graduate high school before he considers moving again (she's a freshman).
He said that the offense will be fun to watch and very fast and that overall the team will be "violent and blow people up". He matched the level of excitement that Hugh Freeze had in taking the job... Malzahn was too big of a celebrity and Harsin seemed like he knew that job was just a step to getting to Boise eventually.
Things sound good at this point so here's hoping we got the right one.
Here's the full quote from Anderson...

Wish there was video of the press conference. I don't know what it is, but watching press conferences of coaches being introduced is so damn interesting.
There most likely will be... I'll post them here when I find one.
Cool! Looking forward to it!
Here you go...

Awesome stuff Tommy. I REALLY hope this one stays man.
Word is that Jeff Monken is leaving Georgia Southern and taking the reins at Army. A press conference at West Point is expected to be held on Monday. Multiple sources are confirming it.
