Crap. I was hoping we could have gotten him.

Crap. I was hoping we could have gotten him.

In 6 yrs PJ will be ready to retire and Monk will be waiting.

This is good. We will see how Monken does in a different situation.

Also if he fails, he can end up as an assistant at GT in 3-4 years. Maybe as OC.

Good for Monken.

 

[Rodney Kent]

I doubt Monken ever returns to Tech. I doubt if he would ever be in demand at Tech by those who foot the big bills. Personally, I would not prefer him over many other potential coaches.

Kurt Roper, Duke's OC and Assistant Head Coach, is leaving to be the OC at Florida

Off topic, but I always think it's funny when PJ is asked about defensive improvement this year, he always responds with "they don't have to think as much they just go out there and fly around..." When his offense consists of thinking about 20 things at the same time. Sometimes I wonder how good we would be if we had a more simplified offense like Auburn or Oregon....

Wonder who gets plucked to coach GSU.

I will hope and pray to lord Yesus Christ that they take sewak away from us. It would be a Christmas miricle.

 

[Eric]

I doubt they would rehire him.

Congrats to Coach Monken. Wish him a lot of success at Army. Definitely tuning into Army vs. Navy next season.

Hmm, interesting point Sean. Not sure about Auburn because I just haven't watched them enough but what makes you say that what Oregon does is simplified?

Looks like Brent Pry from Vandy is who GSU is after.

ESPN just reported that Bill O'Brien is the leading candidate for the Houston Texans coaching vacancy. If he bolts to the NFL I wonder who takes his spot at Penn St.

Read Munchak (sp?) from the Titans and Schiano have expressed interest should O'Brien leave.

I don't see Munchak leaving the Titans unless he fired. Schiano in on shaky ground at Tampa and it wouldn't surprise me if he is fired Monday. His name would definitely be in the mix if O'Brien leaves for the HFL

I just don't understand why Lou Holtz is a broadcaster.

Will wonders ever cease or should I say will retread hiring ever cease.................Brian Van Gorder is being reported as Notre Dame's next DC. SMH

I'm surprised that Charlie Strong isn't getting more love for some of these bigtime jobs

Charlie's building himself quite the program at Louisville and there is a lot of money there. With Louisville coming into the ACC next year he's sitting in a very nice situation.
