Gotcha. Yeah, Saban is used to having to plug in new coordinators almost every year so I don't expect he'll lose too much sleep over having to replace his O-line coach.

You do realize that Bama coaching staff has a ton of voluntary turnover, right? It's a two way street. Just because Saban wants them there doesn't necessarily mean they want to stay. If Key ends up coming to GT, that doesn't directly say anything about Saban's level of enamor with him.

Awesome. Looks like a huge get. Thank you for sharing!

Very sorry for your loss. God bless.

Fair enough. I guess for both of our sake's I hope that there is some dark horse third option that comes through that has less potential baggage and also has something more on their resume to get excited about.

If we can get an experienced FBS OC with a good track record, I am all for that person over Key. I'm not sold on Key being the best possible hire. I just said I would be happy with him compared to some of the other names i have heard here. But if we have to go with someone lacking experience as...

If he did say it exactly how you laid it out and someone in our organization knows it as a fact, then I agree, don't consider him. But it's utterly absurd to believe an 17 year old recruit that would have otherwise signed with us ultimately ends up not picking GT now because someone somewhere on...

I agree. If that's what he said, don't consider him. All I have seen is silly speculation on the internet that some people associated with our program were not happy with some negative recruiting that Key participated in. And we should be clear that all teams recruit against each other. So...

Wait, let me get this straight... So, first of all, you know for a fact that he has told recruits his GT degree has no value? And, secondly, you believe that somehow some other coach at some point in the future is going to tell a recruit that, and that somehow that statement is going to be the...

I would be happy with Key. GT guy - knows the culture and academic rigor. From the Southest. Strong reputation as a recruiter and obviously very highly regarded in the coaching circles.

Why would you like the OC? He's 50 and only has 3 years of experience as an OC at the FBS level with mediocre results. Outside of Coastal Carolina, he has spent his entire career coaching at small schools in the NE. With an hour of free time, and I could come up with 50 other candidates that...

I will be horribly disappointed if Patenaude is our OC. We need either strong, proven experience in the position at the FBS level or a young, energetic recruiting type. Ideally a mix of both. Patenaude has only three years of experience as an OC in the FBS with mediocre results at Temple and...

The average age of our coaching staff is about to plummet about 15 years.

This.

There is also significant value in terms of branding and exposure. Even if you hate Oregon's uniforms, consider how much national coverage have they gotten and how much discussion has been sparked about Oregon due to their deal with Nike? The problem for some black/white thinkers is that it's...

This. There is a lot more to the total value for Tech than the dollars in the apparel deal. According to a moron on another board, the ONLY thing that matters to our Athletic Department for this decision is the total dollar value of the deal. He was absolutely convinced that we would go back to...

Who says we would give up any revenue? If the demand is there to sell out one of those big games, you just slightly increase ticket prices to those big games. Die hard fans may not mind getting a "trifle close", but most casual fans would prefer to be comfortable at a game. Die hard fans will...

Good eye. I was so busy watching Quaide's feet after watching Jalen's lift that I didn't notice the wrists. (Or the ST in the background.) In both Jalen's and Quaide's lifts, they have their elbows down. Quaide more so than Jalen. To avoid stress on the wrists you usually want to try to get you...

I saw that too the first time I watched the clip and my heart skipped a beat thinking I was about to see a horrendous injury. His feet go very wide. Quaide's form is his clip is much better.

Wow. Just wow. That is a 18 year old "kid". Unreal.
