[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 651445, member: 2580"] I think Whisenhunt would have been a disaster. He’s not a good fit for the job at all. Collins was able to assemble a staff full of coaches with fairly strong resumés because he had made so many connections in his time coaching at various schools. He was able to carry over guys like Wiesehan and Thacker because they were on his staff at Temple and wanted to keep working with him. He was able to bring in guys like Kerry Dixon because they had worked together at previous jobs. And he was able to convince Brent Key to come over from Bama by selling him on his vision for the program. Whisenhunt’s connections are likely NFL coaches for the most part. Hiring NFL coaches to turn a college program around is a very risky move. I can’t even imagine who Whisenhunt would get to join him at Tech. And he would have been completely new to recruiting. He was far from a safe hire and likely would have done to our program what Charlie Weis did to Kansas. I hope Ken can still find another NFL job though. [/QUOTE]
