Coaching Search- Timeline

[Technut1990]

kinda off topic I guess but has anyone heard from Woody ? I would think some reporter somewhere would have contacted him to see how he is looking at losing his HC after his first year and more to the point who does he think will come in (not that he would say)

I don't think Petrino wants to get run out of ATL a 2nd time lol

In all fairness to the jerk, he left on his own under the first time when he abandoned the Falcons.

I hope we keep Woody, I like his defensive philosophy and think we will only improve in time as he can recruit the players he wants.

We actually have quite a few guys who played Tight End in high school. Josh Tukes comes to mind. I think also Kevin Wolf, Luke Johns...all those guys are big frames and like 6'5"+.

I had chance to meet a few of these guys . They are not bulked up like a offensive tackle so they could be shaped more like blocking tight ends. Wonder if sisk can find the mold for blocking tight end.

It’s interesting he said “I think this is a good job, A lot of people have called or messaged me about it.” Yet some of you disagree, I really wish I could hack into his phone and find out who...

out of curiosity, does anyone remember the time frame before we hired Lewis, O’Leary, Gailey and Johnson?

Just curious.

 

[lv20gt]

Johnson was hired Dec 7th after gailey was fired in late november
Gailey was late december after O'leary left around the 10th. (29th maybe)
O'leary was Dc then interim then HC.
Lewis was jan 6 after ross resigned on the 31st?

 

[Old South Stands]

It seemed like for each coach it was only a few weeks. O'Leary might have taken longer, I think. But the average was around several weeks.

BL was a hot property in December 1991 after guiding East Carolina to an 11-1 record and a Top 10 finish and we saw how that ended up

He stayed with miami but it was announced that he'd be the coach before the end of the season.

Yes. If I remember correctly, UGa had interest in Gailey the previous year, but wasn't willing to wait for his NFL season to end & ended up hiring Richt

Imagine if UGAG had hired Gailey and GT had hired Mark Richt

The results would've been the same.

The results would've been the same.

Just like they were when it was an O’Leary vs Donnsn matchup.

Bobby Ross and a national championship. He brought us out of the ruins that Curry left. Curry’s players did not like Ross’s discipline.

Curry learning how to coach and having one great year followed by a middling one and leaving for Alabama. Our worst years were under Curry. Talk of moving athletics to D3. I sat through those. Never again.

Pepper leading us out of the graveyard but giving up at the end. We went to the Peach Bowl and got killed the year before Curry was hired.

Curry and Pepper Rogers were both Tech legends.

GT should have hired Steve Spurrier in December 1979 instead of Bill Curry. Steve Spurrier(Who had been on Pepper Rodgers coaching staff in 1979) wanted the GT head coaching job badly and would have been around for 10 years until Florida came calling in December 1989.

Exactly he was the hot young coach. Not a fan of that type of hire at Tech.

I remember Ross being hired and I didnt like him. He wasn’t the Tech poster boy like Curry. But I was in highschool and didn’t know what I was looking at
I thought Lewis would be good but I found it strange his O coordinator didn’t come along...now we know
I liked Jorge but his teams were incomplete without Fridge
My first reaction to hearing about Gomer was “who is that?”
I liked the Paul Johnson hire He had rebuilt a program, Navy, and I thought he would have residual good will with the highschool coaches in Georgia from his time at Southern...little did he realize the highschools are only friends when you don’t threaten damutts
Our next coach MUST have sine sort if name recognition either personaly or thru a school
We can’t go with a retread like Wisenhunt or a another option guy
Time to forge a new identity
