Awesome! We can get him cheap!

Mendenhall reTIRED. Emphasis on TIRED.

I knew he stepped away from UVA but thought he was too young to be totally out of it. Good for him! Thanks for the response/letting me know

I think we should make Chadwell say no.

if no deion it’s gotta be chadwell unless we really pull off a coup and get a great coach

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Outside of Deion and Chadwell, most of the names I’ve seen mentioned are about the same the last time we went through this. We need to get more creative lol. On a side note these last 4 years went by fast!

Potential Head Coach Hires

Right now the names I am seeing/hearing: Ken Wisenhunt- Chargers OC Scott Satterfield- App State HC Brian Bohannon- Kennesaw St HC (long shot)- Gus Malzahn- Auburn HC (rumors Auburn is going to make a big HC move and leave Gus without a job).

Deion is not coming to Tech. There is no upside. Besides, his plane was sighted in Auburn. Which can pay 3X what Tech pays.

What TStan went all in on was the NFL-Lite Stategy. To execute that, you need someone with NFL experience. That we can afford and ... wants to be at Tech. Thats a pretty shallow pool.

Art Briles boy, want no part of Art , but his boy may be a good one. Don’t think he was involved in any of the Baylor bs that his dad did. If he was , scratch this idea

there’s a pretty strong chance a lot of guys we never heard of are targets. based on a lot of comments here i don’t think a lot of people know anything about football outside of tech, there’s no way they know about a lot of premier coordinators that might be interested

there is no upside to the guy that brought a 5* to an HBCU and has them winning games? alright lol

 

[WreckinGT]

If Deion is remotely possible then we need to do whatever we can to make it happen.

he was there at the same time

 

[wesgt123]

Anae would be interesting..speaking of the old UVA staff, would anyone think Bronco Mendenhall would be an interesting candidate? I always thought he was a good coach

Hard pass on bronco. Idk why people see mediocre coaches and think *good hire*

Ok. Explain it to me. What is the upside for Deion to take on Georgia Tech? Inquiring minds want to know ...

 

[stech81]

first call should be Sofia Vergara, that would help with attendance.

 

[D-man44]

I want an offensive minded coach that will bring in Corey Dennis as OC. Say what you want dude played under an offensive genius and coached under some terrific college offensive minds.
