[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 905942, member: 2175"] Well, if you say so. I come down on the "hopefully optimistic" side even as that strange press conference reverberates in my brain pan. Nobody asked the new guy who would make the coach hire, how long a contract he would offer, what would he propose as a buyout, did he have more money for salaries, did he have a shopping list, how long he or his agent have been in touch with the GT president --it wasn't just this week obviously -- has he ever hired a varsity coach for any sport, how would the hiring decision be made and does it have to get approval outside the athletic department, or ... hell, ka 12-year-old would have given him a tougher grilling than what he got. Then to read today that he has essentially wrapped football in with all the other sports and he will get to the coaching hire in his own good time thank you very much, and I am left with the feeling the hire will be another mid-major limited success guy and the first question will be about how much he can curl. I surely expected from enthusiasm than that shown yesterday. I want to be wrong but hiring does not seem this guy's strong point. Until Georgia Tech proves otherwise -- as this situation offers -- it is a middlin' job with a limited upside. Change "Alabama" to Alcorn State on his resume and figure out how enthusiastic we should get. GT becomes the biggest job Batt ever had. Meanwhile if you want to know why the country is in such straits, watch that press conference and weep for the loss of community journalism. [/QUOTE]
