Following earlier reports of this move being made, Miami Hurricanes QB coach Frank Ponce has been officially announced as the next Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks coach at Appalachian State.
This is Ponce’s third tour of duty in Boone, NC, so he’s well acquainted with the school. Ponce returns to the position he held immediately prior to accepting the QB coach role with Miami following the 2021 football season.
If he desires to be a playcaling OC, a move back to App State is a good one for Ponce. He’s got plenty of experience in the world of coaching, but he wasn’t in line for a similar role to this at Miami.
