If White interviewed before with CP and clearly did again for this job, plus openly wanted it, then I am fine with deferring to CP's decision not to hire him at this point. It would have to be a very informed one, and I suspect the decision was actually very close. Also, given the hires it...

Not to be a grammar Nazi but I believe the accepted technical phrase is no longer speaking in "3rd person" voice, but speaking "Rickey Henderson." Disclaimer: I am mainly hanging on the bball forum these days but have little of substance to add, so my apologies for the weak jokes. I can't...

That seems very reasonable as speculation. I don't think hiring can simply be based on current connections to top recruits, that strikes me as poor strategy for long-term success. For example, see that guy CP hired at Memphis because all his sons are high major talents. It isn't like you can...

Only SEC teams west of the Mississippi are eligible for NCAA sanctions.

On the football side many people look at, for example, Ted Roof's experience being a student-athlete at Tech as a really valuable quality for his coaching here. Wouldn't the same be true for a LaBarrie as coach in basketball? And with less players to deal with maybe it could even be more...

Welcome to GTSwarm Personals. It is all about bringing Tech fans together.

Looks like that sarcasm meter goes to 11.

I went to high school with a guy named Richard Richardson. He was called **** **** and was a big offensive lineman. He also had parents with a twisted sense of humor.

No discussion of the buyout aspect yet? It looks solid to me on that count. 3 years at 100% before decreasing buyout but it does decrease enough and basically quickly enough to allow us to hope the GTAA won't be setting itself up to be burdened if his rebuilding work doesn't go far enough...

I for one am really interested in what you might hear in this regard as it strikes me as a visible sign that MBob and CP are attacking his perceived (or real) faults from Memphis. Given the recruiting period and priority of that, I understand if a recruiting/local guy is hired faster. But, it...

I am interested in confirmation that Tech did go after Lutz as the first assistant hire because if true, even if the guy flips it to get some cushier job at NCState as he seems to have done, then at least it will be an actual factual sign that MBob and CP are seriously intent on dealing with the...

I think his parents may have retired from NY to Atlanta, but it could be that he had a brother and their family here and the parents still in NYC. Either way, yeah, I think his claiming family reasons to just stick with the job he had are believable. But it woulda been sweet if he had taken...

That is too classic. Thanks for sharing!

That's ridiculous. Did you blast him? How many years was Hewitt retained again? And how many years after being fired will Tech have continued to pay him? Clearly only a racist institution and fan base would do all that. Just look at the Memphis fans posting here about CP as proof...

You mean once he was fired and took the Mason job? I think circumstances were changed enough then as opposed to his voluntarily taking the St. Johns job over (possible) strong protests from his family. And DC is not NYC. I definitely hated that he didn't take the St. Johns job and I agree...

In slight fairness to Hewitt about the St. Johns job, as I recall he indicated his family did not want to move back to NY and that wasn't just his wife but he had I believe teenage girls at the time who loved it here and in their schools. My point is that I still blame the contract more than...

I happen to think it is extremely important that Bobinski had a frank discussion with CP about the troubles at Memphis and did not simply accept any self-justifications and defenses CP might have made. MBob could point to that record against top 100 RPI programs as a cause for concern and one...

How many more practices before an actual game? And CPJ is chewing out the OL as a unit this weekend? In the same conversation in which he talks about how few starts or starts at their current positions this OL has? I see no call for despair. OLines more than any other position group seem to...

In that AJC piece dtm links to: “I’ve learned that hiring is an art, hiring is a process,” Pastner said. “The last thing you can do is rush into it. So that’s what I want to do, is take my time and if I’m by myself for a little bit, it is what it is, and we’ll just deal with it and I’ll do the...

CPJ has often jumped in on this or that position group, defense with Wommack, special teams repeatedly, and so on. It is just part of his management style. He does not micro-manage overall or day to day but makes his presence felt periodically and as he believes it is needed in specific areas...
