That is awesome on several levels.

First OL under CPJ that has come back to help, I'm sure.

Great example of a guy who worked his way into a critical role on that 2014 team, and knows how good this O can be when blocked well.

Just having him back is going to be fun for the guys. He’s such a character. Great hire!

Wasn't sure where to put this but I was chatting with a co-worker earlier who's good friends with former GT lineman Errin Joe, and he told me that he maybe joining our staff soon. He also told me he's currently at FIU. With a quick Google search his LinkedIn page comes up and, sure enough, he's apart of their quality control staff. Could just be a rumor but I hope this is true. It would really show that we're trying catch up and keep pace with the other more successful programs in college football.

You can only have 4 GAs and they have to join within 7 years of graduating. They can do everything an assistant coach does except maybe recruiting (I'm not always clear about recruiting rules).

I'm really glad to see Joe coming back. He was one of my favorites when he was a player. I especially liked how tough he was, fighting through injuries in 2015 to end up starting.

Welcome back!

Graduate Assistants are graduate students. The exact same as those that lead lab courses, teach undergraduate lectures, and are researchers. This assistantship is just working with the football team instead of an academic department.

 

[TechCubed]

Grad assistants can coach on the field in practice. They can participate in recruiting but not off campus.

The coaching part is the distinction between GAs and the "analyst" positions. They can observe at practice and participate in meetings but can't physically be on the field during practice.

 

[Lavoisier]

I don't think you have to be enrolled in a graduate program to be a grad assistant but I may be wrong.

Welcome home Errin!

Nice, If I remember correctly Errin was big time in his academics, I think he turn down Ivy League offers to come to Tech. Should be a real good mentor for the Student-Athletes.

I loved Errin as a player from recruitment thru grad, but dang that False Start vs unc still stings

That's like turning down a scholly to Yale,Harvard or Princeton
