DRad could have got us out of the Russell deal before he left but he re-upped us and then got our ACC title stripped before going to our cross division rival.

I think the school can legally only pay a certain max amount of money ($350,000 for a head coach I think, but I may be wrong on that number). The rest of a coach's salary comes from boosters and other work arounds like apparel and camp fees and stuff. Boosters pay a huge % of it though (I...

It isn't just scheme, we had terrible technique as well under Pelton.

Assistants cost money. For example Paul Johnson wanted to keep Coach Kelly as a DC but the boosters wouldn't pay. Groh was hired because UVA was paying most of his salary. Teddy was the only guy who got money and I think we know why. CPJ has two guys who are head coaches now, Kelly was a...

Woody has been great, but Riase is also the unsung hero. The jump the DLine has made has been massive. Not just sacks and pressures but we aren't just getting pushed around anymore. I always felt Roof/Pelton wasted a TON of talent on DLine during their tenure.

I was just basing what I said on the OP saying the $17million was for the Georgia Tech Foundation which is different from the AT Fund and isn't used to support athletics. I think they are using it to pay off the Biltmore purchase and other building costs.

Heupel was a garbage OC and inherited a great team at UCF. Remember he is the OC that got fired from Oklahoma after putting up a whopping 6 points in the citrus bowl. Look at how many times they scores <20 points last season at Mizzou including 3 points vs. Purdue. He is straight trash as an OC...

P5 coach doesn't necessarily mean head coach. If you think there isn't a single OC, DC, or G5 head coach that used to be a good P5 DC or OC then I don't think you understand the allure of a P5 head coaching offer.

So the thing with a new coach is that if Paul Johnson is fired it means a losing record for the third time in 4 years and another missed bowl game. I'm of the mind of hiring a solid hire for a reasonable 4-5 year contract and give him 3 years to get us back to 7-8 win consistency. If we hire an...

$5million a year is a Top 15 contract, we can afford most of the coaches that have been mentioned in this thread.

Collins is probably the most realistic choice. He's from Atlanta, he's been a GA, coach, and Player Personnel guy at Tech. Successful DC at Mississippi State and Florida. Hopefully he has success at Temple which is a tough academic school to show he can do it. My big knock on him is the "swag...

^^^What they said. It's my biggest knock on the Troy Coach. I think his NASCAR offense would do great in the Big12. Just everyone who has done it in the South has failed except Clemson, and even their offense was not very good last year against better defenses like Auburn or Alabama. You need...

Bill O'Brien if he gets canned this year, Geoff Collins, Mike Bloomgren if he turns Rice around in a few years (this one is assuming CPJ is here next year and/or the year after), Dave Clawson especially if he takes Wake to a third straight bowl game, Mike Elko. Just some other names of guys that...

Not P5 head coaching experience necessarily but at least an assistant, preferably a coordinator. Satterfield has never even been a position coach in a major program. G5 and P5 is such a huge difference that I don't think you can look at someone that has zero experience.

Yeah but the Sunbelt is full of programs that only moved up to FBS in the last decade. Georgia Southern, State, North Texas, Coastal Carolina. He did well, but he was also doing it against a pretty even playing field.

Satterfield doesn't have any P5 experience and only 3 years of experience anywhere other than App State. Thats a huge gamble for a hire that has to, at worst, get us to 7-5 consistently to keep our football program at least somewhat relevant. We aren't in the same position we were in after 07...

There really isn't a decent choice out of that list.

Double post.

Yeah none of that money goes to sports, which I'm cool with. Let people spend their money how they like. However, there does seem to be a lot of confusion in general about how the different funds are split up and maybe the institute needs to be a lot more clear and transparent about that.

In CPJ's presser this week he said Duke has the 2nd or 3rd largest staff in the ACC. They definitely had quality control coaches pouring over our film for months along with a BYE week. We might dig deep into the playbook this game.
