[QUOTE="Techster, post: 900570, member: 360"] Three things that give me BIG concerns about Deion at GT: 1. History at Prime Prep Academy. Look it up. IMO, I don't see how the Hill and Cabrera overlook this. This is like falling in love with a Porsche but not realizing there's a Volkswagon engine under the hood. 2. Deion made a flight to Auburn last week DURING the season to talk about the Auburn job. At the least this is bad optics and unprofessional. At worst it shows a flaw in judgement. If Deion does well here, are you OK with him flying to Texas A&M or FSU during the middle of game week to talk to them about a job? 3. We are clearly trying to gloss over his inexperience, and putting way too much on the "Splash" factor. I hear way too much about how "we'll get a lot of media attention" or "recruits would definitely consider GT" about Deion, and pretty much NOTHING about how his schemes at JSU are schooling bigger teams to wins. This concerns me because "splash" goes away...and if you don't win once it's time to kick the ball off, that splash goes away and you become...another Collins (although Deion is less annoying and way less cheesy than Geoff Collins). I mentioned previously, if you bring in Deion, you better have a BIG budget for a really good OC and DC (around $3-4 million total). GT isn't out-athleteing anyone in the ACC outside of maybe Duke...and even that's debateable at this point. Splash isn't going to win on the field where tactics, player development, and game management matter most. [/QUOTE]
