[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 910581, member: 844"] I certainly understand that but it's never an approach we would use when picking a job or when hiring candidates. "Person X. we want you to consider our offer but understand that you will be making 80 % of industry standard wages for your position and, btw, we have a freeze on hiring, expansion or capital spending. When can you start". I would never trust myself to hire a "diamond in the rough" under those conditions and I have seen few, if any AD's, do that successfully. In fact, from the outside looking in, it almosts appear to be a throw a dart and hope to get lucky rather than a scientific process that can be repeated. In fact, the great Dr. Rice made what until recently was widely considered the worst hire ever for a major GT sports program. And we haven't had an AD even close to Dr. rice in terms of intellect and achievemnt even since. In fact. some of them have been incompetent to put things kindly. I am not saying throwing money at a coach either is the answer, The answer is that the President and new AD have to fix the systemic issues that keeps GT low on the pecking order of "good jobs" for football coaches. Will we get someone to fill the position. Of course, the money will cause some to think emotionally rather than logically. And all of them at the level believe they are good enough to knock down barriers that others wouldn't or couldn't. This was as true for Collins as it was for Coach Johnson in his time. [/QUOTE]
