Well, after all he does have the pedigree. His father Gary Lee played for Tech during the Black Watch years after prepping at Westover in Albany. Gary was a dawg killer during his time on the Flats.

I am surprised it is rated that high.

I chose "other" because I have no idea. All of them have their merits and all of them have flaws. None of them would be perfect because the "perfect" candidate would have better sense than to step into this boondoggle.

Miami back to doing Miami things...mainly underachieving. Every year its the same thing, they start out in the top 25 and the "U is back" is proclaimed and then they lose to someone they have no business losing to and the wheels come off. This year in late September the U was still in the top...

There were times when Reggie was having a bad day throwing the ball that he would bring Calvin's grade down to about a 3 star but when we were playing Auburn or Miami, he would have Calvin at a 5 star in no time worth mentioning. It kind of reminds me of what Joe Hamilton once said about...

Miami fans say that their recruiting has fallen off with some implying that the quality and quantity of talent in South Beach is not what it used to be. We should have such problems.

His memories are selective at best as I was there.

Others more knowledgeable can weigh in with a rebuttal, but I am not sure we have even 1 much less 5 that "we could say are ok." The person best qualified to judge is Jeff and he ain't talking.

I don't know if this counts but when I was 8 years old my parents took me to see Tech and Alabama. The famous upset game at Grant Field. An Alabama fan was behind us and kept deliberately spilling his drink on me (or perhaps not because he may have been too drunk to hold it) which caused my...

That formula only works with the factories. The other teams should be a bit more thoughtful in who they hire. Really Tennessee? Derek Dooly? Miami: Randy Shannon, Manny, and Christ alone knows who else. All it takes is one or two bad hires with huge bailouts and before you know it there...

Explain to me why ADs are throwing money at coaches then turn around and fire them while paying them outrageous sums to not coach? Auburn, I understand, well, maybe not, but FSU has done this several times as well as Miami and Tennessee. These people have more money than they do any commonsense.

Clinton Lynch...now there is a name I have not heard in a long time. Block? He could do it. Run? He could do that. Catch passes? Yep, he did that too. But, of course, he did not have the "measureables". All I know is that he would run a few times, come out, come back in, run a few plays...

That's a pretty good catch, I thought he had just about named the entire universe of football coaches that would be looking for a new gig.

Sheboygan, why don't you make it easy on yourself and just tell us the ones that are acceptable. It would make for a much shorter list. For what its worth, my Florida friends tell me that Tech does not want any part of Mullen, Meyer, or McElwain, albeit for different reasons for each one.

"Edsall" Now there is a name I have not heard in a long time.

Me.

Are you saying then, that Tech's next coach is condemned to a "Sisyphean" task for what may seem an eternity of fruitless struggle with the Hill playing the part of the gods?

On the other hand, it is entirely conceivable that we have seen our last win and will finish yet again with 3 wins on the year. I predicted that we would win 4 and am holding to that. The ones that we share the exact same record with that are surprising, at least to me, are Miami, Nebraska...

Before he retired and just before a game with Tech circa 2009 or so, Coach Bowden was asked about his coaching philosophy as it related to his success at FSU. Paraphrasing here but what he seemed to say was that he does not like to be micromanaged and so he would hire the best assistants that...

Concern duly noted. It is possible that the new college landscape will doom us to decades of mediocrity like what happened to Rice, Tulane, Duke, Vanderbilt, and others. All four of those schools were at one time respected football powers. Believe it or not, Rice under Jess Neely was a much...
