Best wishes and congratulations to Brandon. Each time I have meet him he is genuine and friendly.
Glad for him to be able to show his wares at GT and be able to move up the broadcast ladder. Sucks for "us" because we got lucky not to get a "stinker" when Wes also left for greener pastures.
Actually we've done well after AC retired. Hope that tradition continues.
There is a BIG BIG difference from doing color to doing play-by-play. I would love it if Roddy was the man, but I just don't think he has the experience.Sean Bedford went from sideline reporter to color analyst with only 2 years as the sideline reporter.
Totally forgot about him calling GT games. Lived in Raleigh at that time and probably only heard portions of his GT broadcasts.You, ah, I am guessing here, most likely never heard, ah, bob McCann?

All in all he's a good guy that still gives GT a fair shake, imo.

I agree with your conclusion, but your comparison is poor at best.
Roddy has no play by play experience while Mark has coaching experience.Why is that a poor comparison? I was referring more to the timeframe before he was the Charlotte head coach. People want Roddy because he is a Tech man, knows our offense, is well respected by all in the GT community, and has proven so far to be pretty good at his job. However he doesn't have the experience necessary. People want(ed) Price because he is a Tech man, knows what it takes to be successful here, is well respected by all in the GT community, and has proven so far to be pretty good at his job (small sample size at UNCC but did well in the NBA as a coach). However he doesn't have the experience necessary. What is erroneous there?
I didn't know he was a GT grad. While on the air around ATL I thought his delivery was rather dull for radio but I think we went to do Furman's P-by-P a few years back.David Hubbard. I hope he will be considered. GT grad, local guy, loves the Jackets, was considered last time I believe. He has some radio experience and is very involved in the local Atlanta area sports talk scene.
AJC update - link with more in depth. Might be behind paywall...
Gaudin said he will regard his tenure in the seat made great by Durham and Al Ciraldo before him “as fondly as you can possibly view your time at Tech. I love it here, I really do.”
Am I the only one who hears, "as fondly as you can possibly view your time at Tech" as bad? I have a feeling that people today don't appreciate why we said, "I got out"
