He has led a program, no matter what level, and has done so for years. That is why the HS program is important. Yes we are not UGA, but we aren't Alabama either, yet we just hired an AD from there. Not hiring talented people because they work for a company different than yours is the same...
I don't think that Deion is the "ultimate recruiter" he comes across more as a Collins part 2 than McGee to me. I'd love to be proven wrong though, and I'm going to trust ADJB's hire unless they come across as a used car salesman in their introductory press conference
Why? I will admit, I was swayed by a crowded booth video following collins' firing. The video summarized McGee's pros as follows:
1. Very successful as a coach with UGA has an eye for talent and has gotten the most out of it.
2. Supposedly more dogs would be upset more at losing McGee than...

Pyron looks good. Wish we had played more loose in the 1st. Interesting to see if we choose to ride Pyron the rest of the year or go back to Simms for a game or two if healthy to preserve the RS
It's $38,500/day above previous year giving. That's a pretty ambitious goal in the middle of inflation/start of a recession + the holiday season. Let's find a way to meet the goal Jackets.
Also a fund-raising goal of 2.5 million in in 65 days is pretty aggressive. That's approximately $38,500 per day above previous year's giving quantities.
The big, exciting thing to me is the first sentence of the press release: " In a unified endeavor, Georgia Tech, the Georgia Tech Foundation, Georgia Tech athletics and the Alexander-Tharpe Fund..."
The first sentence is the truly important part. "In a unified endeavor, Georgia Tech, the Georgia Tech Foundation, Georgia Tech Athletics and the Alexander-Tharpe Fund "
