Mullins has a terrible reputation and regarded as running really sloppy practices. I think we need a disciplined fundamentals guy.

Reminds me of Butch Jones and Alvin Kamara.

Malzahn would be a terrible choice given what TStan has stated is his strategy. Personally, I like Harsin. I suspect he will be fired soon, but I'm not sure Tech can afford him. We can probably afford Charlie Huff.

BL lost the locker room. It was a pretty ugly period.

OK, as an assistant, maybe. HC? No way. Geoff once said if things didn't work out in college, he would go the NFL and work in Player Development. I think that is what is most likely.

Re Kelly, no. I don't think it even crossed their mind that someone would leave ND. It's a premier job but, without conference affiliation it will be increasingly difficult to win championships. Kelly admitted as much. As to AD at Tech, it should be a WONDERFUL job. There is almost no pressure...

One thing I remember about the Bobby Ross years (especially the later years) was how well coached the players were. Fundamentals. We need to get back to that.

There are no good options. You can argue that Geoff did the right thing and negotiated fairly and it didn't work out. So, offer him a job as GTAA Assistant AD in charge of Player Recruiting and Development (aka, Food and Beverage Director) and pay him $1M a year for ten years. Or, rip the...

Here is what I can bash TStan for ... In 2013, the GTAA wanted to get rid of CPJ. Powerful figures were tired of the TO then, CPJ was not particularly well-liked within the AA (true) and they were all set to get rid of him until ... 2014 happened. So it wasn't news that a change wasn't...

The problem with TStan is that I have been told repeatedly by people in the know at the AA that he is "laser-focused" on fixing football. The results just don't suggest that. I will give him some slack for some things (raising money, performance of other sports, etc), but the cash cow of it all...

There's self-inflicted wounds there too. Bruce Pearl, Auburn basketball coach is a good example. He took over a struggling AU team that had limited fan support and a crappy W/L record and through sheer force of personality, created demand for the product. Public speaking, being visible and...

It is not easy to find an AD who wants to come to a school with a limited fanbase, breakeven finances and massive debt. What can they really hope to achieve that will position them for their next role? I don't think Cabrera wants to go down that route. TStan may very well argue that the...

There is no upside for Cabrera to get involved. It's just a headache and one he can do his job as President without. It would be much easier to just let TStan take the heat and wait until the end of the year.

Dodd's philosophy was to keep the game close and win it in the 4th quarter. Not a bad strategy.

Tennessee doesn’t have a strong high school program. It’s nowhere close to what GA, FLA, TX or CA has. I do agree that scheme matters a lot. I would far rather recruit heavily in GA than try to do so nationally. It is super expensive to do so.

When Tennessee won the natty in 98, it wasn't because they recruited in Tennessee. Philip Fulmer had the foresight to open a recruiting office in Southern California when USC was on probation. Most of these kids don't care what they study. A path to something better is all that is required...

Here's my limited take. There are two type of players who want to play. Those that want to play against friends (that's a lot of them) and those that want a path to the NFL (which is not as many as you think). This area (Alabama, West Georgia, North Florida) .. these kids have been playing in...

It's not academics. Yes, Clemson has Parks and Rec and Pre-Business, whatever that is. But I have plenty of starting athletes who can handle basic business. When I have casually asked them, would you consider Tech? The answer is no. Not an elite conference (ACC), don't get a chance to play...

As I recall, there area about 20 schools that bring is huge dollars, about 20 that break even or post a small surplus and the rest ... basically lose money on athletics. Tech isn't any more or less worse, except for all the debt. There simply is no extra room to work with.

A President of a land grant U would be fired. Tech is not a land grant U and it's leadership is not judged on athletics. I can assure you that if Bobby Raine (richest man in Alabama) wants the President of Auburn fired, the decision will be discussed at a boardroom in a bank in Montgomery...
