According to the Watauga Democrat editor Moss Brennan, App State’s Board of Trustees was expected to meet at 5 p.m. on Saturday via Zoom. Per GamecockCentral’s Mike Uva, App State called for a team meeting at 5 p.m., the same time as the Board’s virtual meeting.
Loggains has spent the last two seasons in Columbia with the Gamecocks. With him moving on to his first head coaching job, this means another offensive coordinator search will begin for South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer. Marcus Satterfield was the OC from 2021-22 before Loggains came on board in 2023.
