Sorry it came off that way. He's certainly not a goof ball. I'm just not ready to claim this is an amazing/great hire. I'm sure he's a competent coach, most coaches on this level probably are. We shall see how it turns out here. He'll have a dude with plenty of natural ability to work with.
Even if that's true, I'm guessing the "veto" was simply advance notice that if Bailey's brought in, he (Sims) is giving advance notice of his entry into the transfer portal.
Well, yeah, it was be his only leverage, but if this is true, and I hope it is not, a college QB should not have that kind of power. Hopefully, the coaches were not swayed by that, if it happened.
I can see both sides of this. If (and it's a big "if") Sims did that, he was at least being honest up front about it. And coaches always have to decide whether bringing in someone will cause them to lose someone else, although in general I think they should just bring in the best talent and let the chips fall where they may. OTOH, it always has to be at least in the backs of their minds. But we are bringing in QB Zack Gibson. Makes you wonder what the difference would be to Sims between bringing in Gison and bringing in Bailey. Makes me suspect there's nothing to this rumor.
gibson to me on the surface looks like a clear move for depth as a backup QB. harrison bailey was highly recruited out of HS and while at this point that doesn’t mean much for a player i would imagine that feels like an attempt to bring in a replacement.
Makes sense, but one quibble - I would like to see both Bailey and Sims here next year, if that's possible. He's not as immobile as has been portrayed by some, although obviously a statue compared to Sims.
i just don’t see any reason to bring him on at this point so i would imagine he goes elsewhere. he’s really not very good and the QB room appears to have some decent depth and the guys in it have a lot of eligibility left. i really don’t know that we were ever in the running as it seemed like a rivals guy got a little trigger happy and immediately gave a 100% crystal ball to tech
yeah let’s write off the season that hasn’t happened yet even though we’ve made some decently promising moves
why can’t you give it a freaking break and try to move on to the upcoming season? Weinke seems like a really good hire
IIWII......
Who do u think is a better qb coach?
He has 4 years of experience as a QBs coach. Two at the pro level and two at the college level in the SEC. None of the QBs he coached were all that great. He may be a good recruiter though. I know nothing about him in that regard.
I nominate @kg01 to be hired as the honest-to-goodness GT Get-Bak coach.
