HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

I think Fritz will be a good choice and will allow us to improve finances and go after someone better in a few years. Though I can see the same argument being used for Key, I think Fritz would be more successful, though not way more successful.

 

[DiffusedAcorn]

I'll get over it and support the guy, but I'm gonna be very disappointed if it's Fritz, especially if Chadwell was on the table. Again, before I'm chastised, I'll get over it either way and root for the guy.

The donors gave us Roof and Collins… It will be interesting to see how Key plays out. We need more data for the fan base to see what kind of program GT is beyond the offense GT plays.

I aint for it if it's Fritz and this seems more like a young AD butting heads with AA and going I'll be damned I'll go with plan D before I give you your way with Plan B since you want to be pushy....Stupid if so because I feel like we are gonna loss alot of kids and go backwards right away if you took Fritz over Key

 

[Tech93]

All this to hire Fritz

 

[Tech93]

If they hire Fritz over Key, I’m done with GT football. Makes no sense what the incremental advantage would be to doing so at this point.

Buckle up because Willie is either on his way to ATL right now or just landed

Big mistake but GT can’t ever get it right with athletics.

Exactly! We are about lose a lot of players to the portal if it’s Fritz and good luck bringing some of the highly rated kids back through the portal. Just when we take a step forward in talent level, we are about to take multiple steps back. Also, I doubt Fritz will help out folks in seats.

 

[DiffusedAcorn]

I'm not for Fritz or anything, but please guys, don't do the whole "I'm done with the program" thing, it hurts more than it helps. And at the end of the day, what do we really know to be qualified to have stark opinions on this stuff.

 

[gtg936g]

I think Fritz is a decent coach, but that would be a head scratching hire… It would make more sense to stick with Key and hire an OC to run a different offense.

 

[wrmathis]

Why Fritz? I mean…

he probably should have been hired 4 years ago. but now not so much

 

[Hjacket]

As a Tulane alum, I have followed him for the last several years. He has built a respectable program from a total disaster. This year is his crowing achievement with Tulane ranked and in the AAC championship game. His rebuild was way more challenging than the one here as Tulane has no history, facilities, fan base, etc, but recruiting here is more challenging because of curriculum limitations and the BS degree. But, were I Batt, I would hire Key.

Was Chadwell ever on the table?

His current salary is $850K and expected to earn $2.3M in bonuses ... which, based on CCU's performance, is highly likely. So Tech would have to offer a similar amount over a similar period. That's $3.2M over 6-7 years. And, because he's under contract for six more years, we would likely have to buy that out or pay a fee.

I don't see Tech going after anyone that has a buyout. BOB and Key make the most sense from a purely financial perspective.

How in the world could Fritz be the choice over Key? I feel like we‘re being played for fools

Jeff Schultz, of the athletic.

Schultz from the AJC? Frick that guy man

It's always a good idea to check out what the place they are leaving thinks: Tulane fans really don't want to lose Fritz.

This… not the flash of Chadwell in wins or the number of team rebuilds. Is he better than Key? All that can really be said is that he is a HC that kept an underfunded team going and got a great year at the end.

The opposite of what Temple thought of Collins' exit.
