You can be a GA up to 7 years out of school I believe. It's designed that way so guys can have a couple of years to play pro and if they don't make it they have a way to get their foot in the door if they want to coach, or guys like Errin Joe who went to the corporate world before deciding he...

I've noticed this before and you are right that the guys leaving are usually some of the better recruits. People harp on not getting 4-5 star guys, but I think we need to do a better job of getting guys who buy into the institute and what we are selling.

You have to factor in Partner+Gregory+Hewitt's pay and our total pool of money we are paying for HC salaries is massive. It's something like $2.5million or even more if I remember correctly. It would be hovering around the top 10 in the country. Pastner makes $1.87 which is just shy of Roy...

Living in the Southeast, it didn't help that we got a hurricane every month this season.

There's a million reasons for why we aren't great at football, but I honestly don't know why we are terrible at basketball. We have amazing facilities, our last AD was specifically brought in because he was a basketball guy, and we pay out the butt in coaching salaries. We also provide...

There was a year we returned 0 receiving yards I think. Brad Stewart is what he is, love or hate him. Jalen Camp has huge upside and shown a few great flashes, but he came in as a project so hopefully he finally gets over the hump. He's also a huge guy. Adonicas Sanders was getting really great...

Recency bias, especially for young highschool kids. Last two seasons: 22-5, conference title, back to back top 10 finishes, Heisman finalist. They are a very hot team right now. They signed a monster class this year and those 11 win seasons are going to land them a historic class next year.

I'll take this in a different direction. I would like higher rated guys, but I'm not disappointed about where we finished. My main thing, especially this last year, is we have to actually keep the guys we sign in school. Stars don't matter if they aren't here and we can't develop players if they...

I'm usually always wrong about the guys I think are going to stand out, so I won't say anything and try and avoid jinxing anyone. It will be interesting to see how the secondary looks though. We've been recruiting really well over there and have to replace a lot of starts.

Sure but GT to Bama isn't the same thing as GT to UGA. If Mac goes to Bama, or FSU, or Ohio State or whatever I'll understand it assuming he gets a raise that we can't afford. If he goes to UGA (or Clemson) then that's a completely different thing and I definitely think most fans will think less...

Yeah, but who loses assistants who have been at a school for 8 years to a lateral position at an instate rival? Mac going to UGA would be completely different than anything I think I can remember.

Shane recruited really well everywhere he's been, not just UGA but VT and USC. He got Alshon Jeffery to USC for example.

According to USA Today, Mac made $287,466 last year. UGA's old ST coach (Shane Beamer, Frank's boy) made $300,000 in 2017. Pretty comparable compensation. UGA is either really willing to open their wallets or Mac really wants out. Maybe being passed over for DC rubbed him the wrong way.

Maybe a raise, but it's not like he would have any more responsibility there than here. Maybe even less depending on how involved Kirby or the DC is with his position group. Going to a rival for more money is a chicken**** move.

I am absolutely ok with Mac taking a DC position as it is a promotion for him (even at the G5 level and for less money). I can't fault him or anyone for that. If he takes a position coach job at a rival then he's a snake in my eyes and I wish nothing but the worst for him. So hopefully he stays...

I don't think you have to be enrolled in a graduate program to be a grad assistant but I may be wrong.

You can only have 4 GAs and they have to join within 7 years of graduating. They can do everything an assistant coach does except maybe recruiting (I'm not always clear about recruiting rules).

It's also apparently still not technically official yet. And I thought my job was slow about paperwork.

Ok, but the idea behind this is to raise money from the non-big donors. It's to see how much money they can drum up from $20-$500 type donors. The big money guys give money as is to stuff like the locker room, but the AA doesn't even try to make it easy for the rest of us to give money to the...

It's called a locker room because that's what we call it even though it has other stuff besides lockers and a changing area. Same reason a bathroom is a bathroom even if it doesn't have a bathtub or even of you use it for something else. Words have meanings outside of their literal meaning for...
