[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 37053, member: 630"] Glanville's pitch was that he could get Herschel to come to GT. He was a good recruiter, but I believe he was one new Firebird away from getting Herschel to GT. It would have been odd to fire a HC and promote an assistant, which would have been the situation with Spurrier. Spurrier had very little experience at that time. Hiring O'Leary was not the same situation since Rice--not Lewis--hired him as an assistant. Coaching records can't be compared without knowing what was going on at GT. Things were a mess in 1980. Homer Rice took an absolute disaster and slowly built GT back to respectability by the time he retired. Curry was a decent hire under the circumstances of 1980. Ross and O'Leary made Tech a top 25 program for a few years in the 1990's, which was amazing given where the program was in the early 80's. Homer Rice was the guy at the controls, however. Dave Braine started taking things in the other direction, and Radakovich didn't have the experience to turn things around from Braine. If Homer hadn't left the house in good order, Braine would have taken us back to 1979. Bobinski has a mess on his hands. We will have to wait and see if he can fix things. It will likely take some time and some patience. [/QUOTE]
