[QUOTE="Deleted member 6494, post: 910135"] There is another factor. The ratings and positioning of teams in the first six spots is all about money. The networks and ESPN want the most popular teams in the first six to get the highest Ad money for the games. They always favor the SEC and will try to slot the first six from the SEC as is possible. If LSU were to beat Alabama this Saturday, they would probably be out of the playoffs and Bill O'Brien would be available. This would be a good time for Saban to let O'Brien go; almost any OC can win with Alabama's athletes. If O'Brien is chosen by GT, it will be a political choice and not a smart choice; it could be a Catholics revenge for the Chan Gailey choice. My first NONchoice would be O'Brien and his past association in the O'Leary to Chan Gailey trials. I think O'Brien would be a disaster for GT. I have no axe to grind regarding Prime Time; he seems to be a good person and will probably eventually get a P5 head coaching job. However, the risk is extremely high, Tech needs a more established coach even if it is from a lower conference. I think an AD would be foolish to choose him at this time. My first choice would have been Hugh Freeze, but he is out of the picture with his present 5 million offer to stay at Liberty. Jerry Falwell established Liberty College for the right reasons, and it remained a solid rock until he died, and his son took over. His son put a black cloud over Liberty until the other leaders removed him from the leadership position. My personal opinion is that Hugh Freeze repented of his bad ways while there is probably a different moral person. My second choice Chadwell of Coastal Carolina; he appears to be solid and has proven he can win. Some say he can only attract 3 type recruits, but this is generally not the case of a good coach coming from a smaller conference. If he were to move up to the ACC, it is my opinion he would have a better opportunity to get better athletes who prefer the bigger conferences as opposed to the smaller conferences. Too many try to use the term Triple Option to smear a candidate, but he is not a true Triple Option coach; he most likely will coach a system in line with his talent. This is how it generally works for a coach with a good head to analyze strengths and weaknesses. He uses the talent he has on hand to win games at a smaller school and conference. The next higher conference steals him from the lower one, and he still wins and attracts better athletes. Each time he goes to a higher conference, he gets even better athletes until he reaches the P5 conferences and shows he is one of the best coaches in the business because of his keen mind. [/QUOTE]
