That means you are going to need an AD experienced with major project construction. I think we need a legit AD ... not a rookie.

No, I won't. Gus was not well-liked at Auburn.

I fired an executive at 7am once. It took five hours to write the press release and get legal to approve it. My understanding is that they are addressing CGC's exit package. So it isn't as simple as "You're fired."

Tennessee went down that path in 2007 after firing Fulmer. They then went through Kiffin, Dooley, Jones, Pruitt and now Josh. The overwhelming feeling now is to have strong UT connections to maintain stability.

It's happening now.

Sometimes, you totally agree with the strategy, but the guy in charge is the wrong guy. TStan should have said, "I believe the path we have laid out is the correct path, but Geoff will have to show that he can deliver. If he can, we have our guy. If he can't, we will have to re-evaluate if he is...

Gus Malzahn is happy counting his $30M in sunny Florida. He had a LOT of internal problems at Auburn. He was dismissed because a) the NFL hated his offense and that in turn, affected recruiting, b) he refused to develop players, and c) he was aloof. No thanks.

I was at the Tennessee - Florida game. Heupel runs uptempo and frequently will run no huddle follow ups. With great success.

I didn't ask about Collins. I'm guessing both dismissals will be in the same one.

Deep Throat. Apparently, they are working on the press release now.

This just in. Stansbury fired.

I'm not sure it matters. TStan went all in on the NFL-Lite strategy. He raised $175M to build new facilities, development programs, NIL sessions, etc. He (or his successor) can't just say, "Oops." Yes, Geoff argued for all of that and he's toast, but the boosters wanted it as well. They said...

Why not? In return, special dinners/drinks with the Head Coach, AD, special seats at events, Tech sponsored tailgate, etc.

It's kinda corny, but there is a fund raising drive in almost every county of Alabama every week to send money to Tuscaloosa. Touchdown Clubs, Red Elephant Clubs, etc ... all organize the money flow ... it's impressive.

I'm less worried about affording a new Head Coach. It's the costs of all the assistants that is going to be challenging.

It's a bit like looking for white smoke from the chimney atop the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican to sort out Tech politics. If the GTAA had maintained its regular meeting date of Oct 13, I would say ... Todd's staying. Business as usual. But the fact they ADVANCED it by two weeks suggests an...

TStan just raised $175M as part of it's NFL-lite strategy. One would think they would go after NFL assistants who can help tell that story.

One of the guys I see almost daily at the golf course is a retired coach. He keeps in contact with his buddies, many of which are still coaching. (None at factories ... all are at smaller schools.) He said all of them are re-organizing to do two things: 1) less high school recruiting and far...

It's the same pattern it's always been. TStan was well aware of the need to raise money but opted to go after the mega-donor crowd ... smaller and easier to manage. While I agree with that from a purely 80/20 point of view, Tech needs a massive waive of organized fund-raising. Whether it's...

Hasn’t been mentioned in what context? He has $17M. And stated he doesnt want to coach again. We may as well pursue Joe Gibbs.
