[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 913949, member: 282"] Not to throw fuel on the speculation fire, but to put oneself in Batt's position [LIST] [*]He's coming over from the heart of SEC country, working as the Executive Deputy Director of Athletics at Alabama [*]One would hope that he was enmeshed in how to run a successful program [*]He should be aware of the recruiting differences between Georgia Tech and Alabama or UNC, or most SEC schools [*]If, as [USER=2957]@Vespidae[/USER] says, we're not in the minds of the recruits that go to surrounding schools as a serious path to the league, either Batt sees the opportunity to hire a Deion Sanders or Dell McGee with a lot of SEC coaches that have been taken seriously as a path to get back to relevance or he sees issues with it. He should have an idea what these guys can do and if he thinks it can work here. [*]Short version: if he thinks that Deion Sanders (or Dell McGee or another hot name) would put us on top and Deion would take the job, he'd pull the trigger. He'd at least get them in for an interview and research it. [*]He should be clearly aware that we just fired our Football HC and the AD that hired him. He was hired to fix a problem and get the AA and the football program back on track. Stansbury may be completely retired now, and Collins did massive damage to his career. If you're in a platoon and the last guy on point gets fragged, you're going to be extra careful when Sarge puts you on point right after that. Batt should be taking this hiring process more seriously than even most high-profile coaching hires, because the stakes are very high. He's looking for the best bet possible [/LIST] For Batt, it's his tail on the line if this goes badly, and I'm sure he knows it. The last guy got fired over getting it wrong. Batt will be dotting i's and crossing t's and triple-checking everything. I'm also sure that he's phoning smart friends who keep their mouths shut to get good advice. Also, (Vespidae) my friends who are Bama fans hope that Cadillac Williams doesn't get the Auburn job because they think he's the greatest guy on earth and they don't want to hate him. [/QUOTE]
