I'll admit that I wear gold-colored glasses in the offseason. (Why not dream every year could be a special year?) But this is my hope as well. I think there's a good chance we're catching the crimnoles at a good time. Their team this year is not last year's team. Their top stars are in the draft...

Oh, great. Hopefully it was just a typo and he is returning. I'm looking forward to seeing Zeek play his best ball yet. I believe we have some returning players on defense who are ready to step up and be the next breakout stars. Zeek is a big one. (Pun intended)

AJC article from yesterday lists Zeek Biggers as among the departing transfers. I don't recall seeing that previously. Disappointing and another big loss to the DL. I hope the new staff can find some players on the roster. "Tech lost linebacker Paul Moala, safety Jaylon King and defensive back...

This is root of what doesn't make sense to me about what FSU is doing. The FSU fans say the 'B1G told them'... Who told them? When? The B1G commissioner? Some of the B1G presidents? An invite to the conference will require a vote of the Presidents. I can't imagine that they held a secret vote...

https://www.ajc.com/sports/ken-sugiura-blog/shawn-elliott-leaves-georgia-state-for-a-great-reason-family/QNKGXUWJ5NF73DOBZBEOJ3OBSA/ Elliot took the South Carolina job to be to be closer to his wife and kids for his Son and Daughter's last years of high school. Can't fault that.

My wife and I both have degrees from GSU and I've followed their program since they started. (Hasn't been much to follow though...) This is very surprising. I feel like there has to be more to the story... Elliot is the best coach they've had by far and the arrow seemed to be pointed upward for...

I really think FSU has painted themselves into a corner. The fans/boosters/BOR had already convinced themselves being in the ACC was holding them back. Then they had an emotional overreaction to getting left out of the playoffs. (Which is a reasonable gripe.) The problem is, this lawsuit has no...

40 interviews also doesn't necessarily mean 40 candidates. Could've been 2-3 conversations with some of the candidates. 20 minute phone calls, zoom meets, in person interviews, possibly multiple with staff/advisors/Batt sitting in. This is a highly compensated executive position. In the...

Don't forget, Jess Simpson was his co-DC at Duke and has a ton of experience. Santucci should have some good assistants to help with those parts, if he needs it.

Reminds me of this: Comeon (San)tucci gang!

Elko hired Jay Bateman as DC at A&M. They evidently go back like 20 years. And Bateman has years of DC and some HC experience. My guess is that A&M had the resources to bring him in (maybe Duke didn't). Which meant to follow Elko to A&M, Santucci would've had to take a position coach job. He...

I know absolutely nothing other than that people who know people who know people seem to think that Key has a hire and it's good. But it totally could be circular wish casting based on what he said on 680 yesterday.

Seems like an announcement is imminent. Or it's going to leak. I don't know a name. But there's a lot of smoke and 3rd-4th hand from actual insiders there's a lot of excitement.

I hope UGA has to, at least, extend Kirby's contract at an even more absurd salary. I don't believe he'd leave GA, but I think Bama is the only possible college job he might leave for, for enough $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

So is the theory here that we're retaining Sherrer at DC and these two hires fill the two vacancies and complete the defensive staff? It seems odd in light of some of the reports from purported Insiders, like Quinlan. But it does seem to fit the evidence.

One of the most important things I learned at Tech was in decision tree analysis. You can make a good decision and have a poor outcome. (Call it chance, luck, chaos, whatever.) You can make bad decisions and have good outcomes. The key is making good decisions give you higher probabilities of...

To be fair, he was probably the best DC CPJ had here. I think you're right that he's above average, not great. He's respected in coaching circles. He's a solid reliable coach who won't get you in trouble or embarrass you. If you need a DC, you could do a lot worse. But you probably hope you can...

Personally, I wouldn't mind having Ted Roof back... Just not as DC. LB coach if Sherrer is taking other duties or a defensive analyst. He's a good coach and recruiter. I've only ever heard good things about him personally. People keep hiring him for a reason. (And firing him for his playcalling.)

The biggest thing I've been impressed with from Key is his willingness to acknowledge failures/shortcomings and address them. He's been decisive in making changes when something isn't working. Whether that's changing the depth chart, staff changes, strategies. He's willing to learn and adapt and...

I doubt the NFL would offer more money than Kirby could make in College. The only coaches that make much more than he does at GA are guys who already have Superbowl rings - Bellicheck, Payton, Carroll. What the NFL offers is great money, prestige and a much better quality of life, no 24/7/365...
