[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 823746, member: 1640"] Since you mentioned uga, it’s interesting that they have never made a bad coaching hire going all the way back to Wally Butts. That’s over 70 years of good coaching hires. Now, some on here will point out that they did have two mediocre coaches. Mediocre by Georgia standards meant still having winning records but not being in the hunt for a national championship. They got rid of those mediocre (but winning) coaches even when there was no guarantee they could upgrade. Tech during that time perhaps made a few bad coaching hires but many of these same coaches would have had much better records at schools like Georgia or schools with more resources. Carson, Rodgers and Curry come to mind. Has always felt like, whether on the football field, or in the hiring of coaches and ADs that all the planets have to align just right for Tech to have success. One of our mods gave a brilliant assessment of the dysfunction at FSU but Miami is even more puzzling. Miami has had periodic strong years as a team going back to the early 60s. One would have thought that after 4 national championships with three different coaches they finally knew the formula for hiring the right guy. They certainly sit in one of the most football talent rich regions of the country so you would think they would at least have Georgia levels of “mediocre success.” [/QUOTE]
