He was Guz Malzahns right hand man. This is a HUGE pickup

Great staff put together, all geared towards recruiting and talent!
Welcome, Pat!!

People who have worked with Geoff in the past want to work with him again. He must be a great guy to work with. The article indicates that this is not a promotion. Guess that remains to be seen.

Mods it looks like @GTJackets and I made a thread on this in exactly the same minute. Feel free to delete one. Personally I like mine better but that's just my opinion

Good resume

 

[ATL1]

Good hire.

I'll admit, I was/am pretty skeptical of the CGC hype when he was hired. Wondered if he could really do the things he talked about doing at Tech. But the fact that guys like Suddes and Key (if true) are making lateral moves to come be a part of what Tech/CGC/TStan are doing is really impressive. Those guys have been around great football programs. If things are being put in place behind the scenes to convince those guys Tech is building something special, it's probably for real.

Plus, the fact we can afford them probably indicates there is some significant money coming into the program.

Either that, or there is a lot of money being floated.

It would be interesting to see how much the budget increased for this new staff.

Looks more and more like we are walking the walk! I bet my Auburn family members will spin this that he was the one guy not carrying his weight!

They just keep coming. I don’t think anyone expected homerun hire after hire.
