A close friend connected to GT said Woody is the new DC and that it’s been a done deal for about a month.
When we hired Groh I was convinced it would benefit us being able to find some smaller DEs to play OLB and only having to recruit 3 DL positions which has always been our weakness under CPJ. But we failed miserably at that. I see no reason to expect us to be better at recruiting the 3-4 now than we were under AG. Not real excited about the 3-4 coming back unless Adams turns out to be a beast of a NT.
Anyone have any guesses on who Woody would bring with him?If or when Woody comes to GT, who does he bring in to fill out the other defensive position coaches? Where does he pull them from and how quickly will they arrive on campus? Perhaps he already has held those conversations and they have accepted the offer. If not I hope that it is a timely process in order to limit the duration of the "unknowns" for current players and defensive recruits alike. Does anyone have any insight on where GT and Woody are in this process? I hope GT holds a press conference tomorrow to announce that Woody is our DC now. I want to hear what his expectations and plans are for coming in and getting started. I can hardly wait! I pray this will be a positive move that will build throughout the offseason, Spring practice, and conditioning as we head into the Fall for next season.
Guess it might depend heavily on the budget constraints and what the two candidates would agree to?Would it be possible to have Woody AND Kelly both? One as 10th assistant coach?
This would be my thinking as wellGuess it might depend heavily on the budget constraints and what the two candidates would agree to?
Budget is not the problemGuess it might depend heavily on the budget constraints and what the two candidates would agree to?
That’s what I said. Make Woody DC with kelly over DB’s, and special teams.Would it be possible to have Woody AND Kelly both? One as 10th assistant coach?
You seem to say that with a bit of confidence. Now we just need further explanation on what you mean by this?Budget is not the problem
Doesn't that describe this entire message board on ALL topics? (Including me.)I know this is supposed to be fun and all that, but once again folks who know next to nothing about position skills -- don't take it personally; we don't and guys who do it for a living every day struggle to get it right -- want to put a team together. I know nothing of Woody, at all, and just admit it. And keep in mind that when Ted Roof was hired as DC the speculation, immediately, was that he was going to make a great successor to Paul Johnson. I really am more interested in the end of term to see if Roof's son will eat a year of eligibility and follow his dad to NCSU.
Back on topic. I think quicker DL fit better what I saw App St doing on D. I think Branch very much does and Glanton too. I'm
Leaning toward Glanton at NT honestly. Not so sure about Cerge and Adams ability to shoot gaps and slant as well though maybe they can flourish and surprise me here.
Some of our success may depend on unknowns stepping up. Alston and Owens maybe? If Owens can ball at 270ish he and Branch might make for some destabilizing DEs in a 3-4. But I know little about Owens ability, kinda just wishful thinking primarily.
I think we have a slew of guys that fit the bill at ILB. OLB? This I'm really uncertain about. Who do we have with appropriate size, pass rush, and hip turn to change direction and cover TEs and RBs when necessary? I'm kinda drawing a worrisome blank here.
Secondary is largely unaffected imo.
Just the ramblings of another dumbass fan.

Ok..... not saying he would, was just saying it would be nice. And if he only had an offer from Colorado State maybe he would. Who knows? I wouldn’t want to live there lol.It's pretty ridiculous to think that Kelly would ignore DC offers elsewhere to come be a ST or position coach at GT.
You ever been? From what I hear, Fort Collins is a LOVELY place to live.Ok..... not saying he would, was just saying it would be nice. And if he only had an offer from Colorado State maybe he would. Who knows? I wouldn’t want to live there lol.
