The AD that hired him was already gone. I don’t think many ETSU fans are upset at the firing, but Quarles has only been there two years. Didn’t several guys transfer when he was hired? And then they had so many injuries this was a tough year to actually judge him on. Switching so fast could set them back further, but with the portal you never know.
The Bucs want to be competitive, and this looks to be similar to what we did 3 years ago at least in terms of buying a guy out and moving on. It will be interesting to see who they get. I know in the last round they had the NDSU OC in contention until the end, and his name already came up on their board. They also have long-time DC Taylor, but given he was passed over before I wonder what he is thinking this go round.
Believe it or not early signing is exactly 1 month away, so probably a good idea by them to move fast.

This might sound odd, but given he just made the playoffs the last 2 seasons I wonder if this is a good choice by him? I have to think with his family's background coaching in the SOCON was something he wanted to do, and I also expect the move comes with a raise. So I am not surprised, but I'd think the chances of winning might be better in Boiling Springs than they are in Johnson City over the next couple of years, especially given how many kids have left the ETSU program since Sanders retired and how watered-down the Big South/OVC now is.
Gardner-Webb settled in with the FR QB for the last 2/3rds of the season, have two of their top-3 rushers returning, and their top-2 WRs are also coming back. It will be interesting to see how many GWU guys make the move with Lamb (similar to how many kids came to WCU from Tusculum and other places our coaches came from).

I think you are on target, wins in the SoCon are more difficult. His saving grace will be how well he and his assistant coaches can work the transfer portal. With the portal, he can rebuild in a year, what would have taken 3 or 4 years to do prior to the transfer portal and the one free transfer to all players.

13 Gardner-Webb players have followed Tre Lamb to ETSU - This sounds like what Prosser did to the WCU basketball roster when he got the Winthrop job. I think it's pretty rotten...however, that's just my opinion, it's legal, but it shouldn't be...
