[QUOTE="Gt2019, post: 909418, member: 5119"] Here's the things I'm looking for in a new potential HC: Recruiting ties where they really really succeed in 1 area or have ties in multiple areas Excel at running their system (if they are a current HC or Coordinator) Young up and coming type of guy. My preference is Garrett Riley, the current TCU Offensive Coordinator. He checks the boxes with recruiting in multiple areas of the country. Working at East Carolina gives you those southeast ties, working at Kansas gives you those ties in the midwest and working at SMU and TCU gives you ties in the state of Texas recruiting hot bed. He then checks the box for excelling running their system. The TCU offense ranks 4th nationally in yards per game at 518.6 yards per game which is up there with Tennessee, UGA and Oregon. 300.8 passing yards per game, and 3rd nationally with 44.3 points per game just behind Tennessee and Ohio State. 5.8 rushing yards per attempt, 9.7 yards per pass attempt, 7.6 yards per play, 45.63% on 3rd down conversions and 53.33% on 4th down conversions. Also a OFEI of 1.05 which ranks 14th nationally. You could say his offense is the main reason why TCU is a main playoff contender. He then checks the box of being a young up-and-coming guy. He's a little young at 33 years old but you could say being that young and having massive success is even better. You're seeing colleges recently go to the younger guys for HC jobs. Most recently: Billy Napier at 42 years old when hired at Florida, napier was 37/38 when hired at Louisiana, Dan Lanning 35 years old and now 36 years old when hired at Oregon, Lincoln Riley was 38 years old when hired at USC but notably was the same age as his brother when he took over at Oklahoma. What I would want to see with Riley: I want to see Georgia Tech surround him with experienced P5 coaches to help him out since he's a young guy a first-time HC. Oregon surrounded Dan Lanning with those types of guys with the hires of Tosh Lupoi (DC at Oregon) and Kenny Dillingham (OC at Oregon) and it's been very successful in year 1 for the ducks. In Conclusion: I think Riley is only lacking in the experience department but as I listed, more and more young coaches are being given HC jobs. He has ties in 3 different areas of the country when it comes to recruiting and lastly, his system is blowing every opponent out of the water each and every week. I think with Garrett Riley you're hoping to get something similar to his older brother Lincoln Riley. Both of the Riley brothers have followed extremely similar coaching career paths and run the same system and have the same exact offensive philosophies. In my mind, Garrett Riley will be getting job offers from big schools such as Texas, Texas A & M, UNC, Ole miss, etc within a few years based on his current path that he's quickly moving on in the CFB world. So I think Georgia Tech should go ahead and snatch him up this off-season. [/QUOTE]
