For all the talk about “everyone knew” it would be Chadwell I remember a lot of “everyones” KNOWING that it would be BOB because Batt was at Bama, or that it would never again be someone associated with the option…

It’s a conspiracy: they don’t want to hire Key so they scheduled the interview for after the game so that if he wins he gets drunk and bombs and they still have an excuse not to hire him! It’s diabolical Weird, they told me to meet them Above The (Marta) Line

That 2007 team’s defense started out so promising with that ND game, too… I wouldn’t have guessed 2008’s was above it. The 17/18 rankings are also interesting.

Did he print that out and photograph it??? Amazing

It's more that if you want people to *ignore* the generally poor offensive performances and the general disasters of the UVA and Miami games then he has to show something extraordinary. Otherwise, with very limited data - not all of it that positive - for what Key did in his interim stint and...

Mack Brown gave us the blueprint. Let them score on the first play and then let up. Hell, being down 17-0 worked for UNC, but maybe we’ll need to let them go up 30-0. They’re better than UNC, so we need a bigger letdown. All part of the plan.

As much as I’d love to have that problem, there are organizations that are toys for rich people and there are organizations that are leaders in their field and they usually aren’t the same ones. Having a board member that would undermine the org if the CEO disagreed with him on a top hire would...

2008, after so many heartbreakers in a row, especially the brutal deciding plays in 04, 05, and 06, and then the first half seemed like "oh, no, more of the same, we can't stop them" only to just be setting up that second half. And the also-much-discussed 99 game is the runner up.

Similar-but-different situation in the NHL - Dallas fired their coach in the fall of 2019 (but for alcoholism-related behavior stuff) and put an interim guy in place. Overall the team was struggling during the season under the interim compared to before, but put together a miracle run to the...

I don't know that anyone's saying it should be EASY for an AD to push back, but the leader of an organization should have a plan that they can get board/investor buy-in on *even if that plan didn't come from the board or investors.* And if you're stuck in a rut and want to break out of...

I'd be OK with disappointed - hopefully they'd be open to seeing success, and if the success isn't there than maybe Batt isn't the right person anyway - but that's pretty different than "all blow up badly"!

If there’s a “this coach wins but not in the way I like” tantrum we might as well shut it all down. If today’s big money donors want to run the show in the same revenue-growth-limiting ways they have in the recent path, there’s no chance of raising the programs ceiling.

I think this is definitely true of Georgia Tech engineers, a good bit less so for others I’ve worked with. The Shaft, The Hill, it all adds up to create an (un)healthy cynicism before someone “gets out.”

“I know for a fact that they’re probably…” is a hell of a way to say “maybe” 🤣

Recruiting is one of those things where the difference between 1 and 5 is actually a lot bigger than the difference between 15 and 20 or 40 and 45. A lot of distributions are like that - the differences at the edges are bigger than in the middle. It's normal. ;) By class rank and "points" per...

Agreed, I’m fairly new for posting vs lurking but I think this board’s policies are a good balance. Complaining that “the world is getting weak” because someone says “here we hold ourselves to a higher standard than Twitter” is pretty damn ironic. “All policids but the ones I would pick are...
