    How Important is Recruiting?

    I'm not going to bother to check, but I'm guessing the four more highly ranked receivers didn't have quite the career that CJ did in the NFL.

    If his son is as good as everyone says, why couldn't he get a better gig on his on? Or does he only want to play for his dad?

    I agree. Kiff is a pot-stirrer for sure. And I think he does it for the lols. He might be one of the most successful-yet-immature people I know about. Well, other than Elon.

    Dude, are you his agent or something? We can't have a conversation about potential coaches without you throwing shade at people who don't also worship Mr. Sanders and believe that he is the one-and-only-obvious-choice. Do you really think that any concerns about him are unjustified and not...

    Well, the one thing we can depend on the government for is to maximize their revenue. Is there a scenario where the Feds try to get a bigger piece of the CFB $-pie that might change the structure? Or maybe liability and/or equity lawsuits?

    That's pretty much where I am. He's not a 'hard no' for me like some, but the whole Academy thing, the lack of experience as a HC and being bitten by TFFG's 'look at me' behavior has me thinking we can do better. I'll support him if he comes, buy his Coach Prime gear and hope for the best.

    HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    And I'm not actually calling Deion narcissistic, although rereading my post certainly implies that. I do believe that our previous coach demonstrated narcissistic behaviors. So I'm twice-shy when it comes to bringing in another coach who...to me...really likes the limelight more than most P5...

    Com'on Man. As someone said, almost every HC in CFB exudes confidence. You don't get the job by lacking confidence. And most are Alphas (although I'm not so sure about TFFG.) But that's not what we are talking about here. This is about really liking being the center of attention, not just being...

    I agree that negative recruiting will happen no matter what. And that winning makes negative recruiting more difficult...perhaps limiting it to 'you'll not see the field for three years if you go to that school.' It's just that all I heard from the recruiting geniuses during the CPJ era was...

    HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    I don't want a coach who feels like they are the stars rather than the student-athletes and the school. I want media coverage to be about how good the football team is, not how cool of a coach we have and, oh, the football team is pretty good too. TFFG ruined me to narcissistic head coaches.

    HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    Do you think we'd get a ton of negative recruiting related to the 'option' again? I don't think we need high-level recruiting, but we need to average two-to-three 4* types a year to be upper echelon ACC no matter how good the coach, I imagine. That's my only worry about Chadwell...that it'll be...

    Sad, but true. I really try to shake off the 'We can't have good things' feeling, since I think it's bad ju-ju (who says an engineer can't be superstitious?) But that's exactly where my brain goes these days. Hopefully this time will be different as I line up to kick the football that Lucy is...

    Or create an 'interference play' that is designed to get a DPI with an effective flop :)

    Key lost the HC job today?

    I should have been clearer...I don't think we can keep Key. And I'm not sure it's a good idea either. While I'm all about empowering my organization leaders to run their teams the way they want, I won't let the whole team fail just to 'empower' one poor leader. Key should have stepped in and...

    I see McGee and Deion both being part of the "Recruiting First" coach options, but I don't see McGee as being near the gamble that Deion might be. I like McGee way more than Deion. I like that McGee is respected by HS coaches (and not just idolized). I like that he's coached at literally the...

    Key lost the HC job today?

    I really don't think it's because he's a "Tech Guy" that people like him. For me, I like his approach with the media and fans...he is a great representative of the school in public. And I like what I hear (mostly from him) about how he handles the team. Tough but fair and authentic. Those two...

    I think it becomes $400...you're company match makes it $200 and then the GT Foundation match doubles that to $400! I would confirm that by looking at my AT Fund report, but I get an internal server error when I try to access it right now. (Does anyone else have that issue?) So if you'd been...
