Nope. After one 4 OT 120 point game that Pastner losses by 3? No way. Lol, let's at least get blown out a couple of times before we trade Pastner. Also, I am not sure Lanier can recruit to Tech with its more narrow curriculum better than he can recruit yo GSU. One last time, lest we forget, Pastner finished Fifth in the ACC last season. No easy feat at all. That buys him some patience on my book.
Re-read the posts. I’m not sure if you’re trying to refer to me, but I literally said it’s way too early to pass judgement on this season, and I still back this team 100%. I think there’s a lot of potential. But clearly we have a lot of work to do.
Where did you hear that?
Check the topic Partner's Future. It was mentioned there. I have no other insight.
There you go, right there. I have always admired the restraint of athletes who, clearly abused by coaches, have not responded with a punch in the mouth. Lastly, has there ever been a season that Georgia Tech basketball was not in the dumpster?
I can only see that happening if he suddenly catches fire and becomes a hot coaching commodity. I’m not a betting man, but I would expect long odds on a prop bet for the GTAA getting paid on a Pastner departure. I don’t see a Pastner departure anytime soon, anyway.
There is literally one guy claiming he knows something. I’m sure Pastner figured he needed out at Memphis and Tech could set him up to get to the big time but think he’s pretty much blown that. If would take 2-3 really good years back to back to make him
I don’t think that’s the case and I hope I’m wrong and you’re right. But we only went up around 390k in total coaching staff with the Collins and staff hires. God help us if that’s our slush fund

OK. So what is the source for this info?
I’m not posting their name other than high up in GTAA. If I knew you, I might share but I don’t want blab their name in a forum and risk their position.
Don't forget the buyout to Temple which GT covered at 2.5 mil.

Would that mean he's available cheap?
There was some talk when we hired him about us being a stop on his journey back to Arizona, but I almost never hear of a coach wanting to leave a head coaching job for an assistant position. It’s not like an assistant gets a lot more free time than a head coach.
I agree about 2-3 years, and more in addition. He’d really have to show off more recruiting chops than we’ve seen lately or an intriguing offensive scheme for that to happen (in my opinion). He’s finally past his Bell problems, and hopefully he can get a second wind and find his footing again.
I do wonder when he’ll be back on the sideline. I don’t think our legal and compliance departments are up to that kind of stress and risk right now, and I can’t see any faculty member on a hiring committee here saying “yes”.
I also remember no one besides Pastner wanted this job!
This is true. We had a few who basically used us for leverage for other jobs. Remember we had a team that had lost a ton of experience from Gregory's last season and most people thought we did not have much talent coming back. The incoming recruiting class was unimpressive. That is why some picked us to not win a single ACC game. Anyone who says we are in a worse position than when Pastner was hired is delusional.

He’s had 4 years of bad teams not just one game
