Deion/ GT having discussion?

[GTLorenzo]

Would be interesting to see him recruit in Atlanta. Could likely get some big time recruits who want to play for him specifically. Biggest concern would be that he would leave to go to FSU as soon as that job opens. And, would the GT admin hire him? Not sure they would.

 

[Jacket Bracket]

If true, how would you feel?

If Collins doesn't turn things around this year, Deion Sanders would be a big get for us.

I think Deion would not want to mess with the Hill though. He will want to go to a place where he'd have more support

 

[GTrob21]

Prime time would be a great get for us, his recruiting alone could take Tech into the top 25 status. I have followed him and his coaching seems to be good.

I for one would welcome this, but the problem with Tech has been the Hill. Until that changes, Nick Satan himself would have difficulties here.

I would be psyched out of my mind. Neon Deion would be the perfect vibe for Hotlanta and would recruit at a level we haven’t seen in many decades.

I couldn't agree more. The NIL money he would bring in would be unbelievable as well.

I have never watched a Primetime coached game. How is he on gameday? Can he manage timeouts better than Collins?

Who can’t?

He'd drop ATL for Dallas at the drop of a hat.

 

[MacJacket]

GT would definitely be a stepping stone for him, but it could be fun. The NIL has legalized cheating, so if big money boosters or locals with deep pockets jumped on board I'm all in. Coach Prime would have all the local celebs at home games.

 

[GTLorenzo]

He'd drop ATL for Dallas at the drop of a hat.

He'd drop ATL for FSU at the drop of a hat. That's his goal. Will be interesting to see what happens in Tallahassee this year.

 

[bobongo]

Yes, please.

I'll bet he'd put some butts in the seats, too.

At least in that case somebody would be paying us a buyout instead of the other way around for a change.

Frickin fabulous. Here's the link with comments. Definitely can recruit from data in comments.



Read he was 55, made me feel old. He would probably use GT as a stepping stone. Only make us relevant and win a bunch of games. To quote Bob Seger in Night Moves, she use me and I used her and neither one cared.

 

[GTLorenzo]

I would doubt that our administration would hire him as well. Too "flashy" I would think. Did he get his degree as well? Would bring us a lot of publicity and could likely recruit here like crazy, like high 4 and 5 stars who would want to play for him.

Steppingstones are a good deal. You get a good coach for a while and money when they leave. It's win-win. And they should leave you better off than when they arrived.

He did, a B.A. in Business Administration in 2020 from Talladega College.

While I think CDS could potentially end up like Collins if he were to come here next, I think he has 10x the cache with both recruits and the city of Atlanta, and is better positioned for success. He would be able to get more donations and fan interest as well. Make sure he has decent coordinators and position coaches, and we'd be reeling in probably the best recruiting classes Tech had ever seen and possibly even some 5 stars.
