Matt Griffin no longer on staff

[jwsavhGT]

There's really nothing going at GT...two different reasons as to why they left.

So is it safe to believe that GT's football program is not imploding?

 

[Eric]

Who are we going to interview to replace these 2?

Only CPJ knows that, will come out in time.

 

[Brian Johnson]

I want a big name

 

[augustabuzz]

I want a big name

I want two people who are better than those being replaced.

 

[Ben Jones]

Eric, is the walk situation going to bite Tech in the future? I know both of those guys were super tight

That's enough for me too. Thanks eric. Look forward to a good hire or two get some positive buzz.

 

[thagooseisloose]

That's good to hear.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

It's probably got to do with money.

Which really means it is about winning big games.

 

[GaTech4ever]

Griffin was the player personnel guy right? Maybe he was helping out our guys more than CPJ would have liked. After 1 year I can't see it being money, he knew the financial situation with his job going in. Unless they cut his pay or something.

A guy on another board said this:

Pretty sure this position pays like $20k a year. He probably got a job managing a QT and left for greener pastures

Nothing new but this just came out of the wire, just thought the wording was interesting and may give more insight into all the stuff that's been happening.

CHANGES MADE ON TECH COACHING, SUPPORT STAFF

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski confirmed two changes on the Yellow Jacket athletic department staff on Wednesday.

Matt Griffin, director of player personnel, is no longer associated with the program.

Dave Walkosky, special teams coordinator the past two seasons, has resigned his coaching position to pursue other opportunities.

Both changes are effective immediately.

My perception is reality, not yours, and my perception is that this isn't a big deal.

It only took a few days to find out why player development director has his walking papers= see custis and days hunt thread.

 

[iceeater1969]

My perception is that this is one ginormous run-on sentence.

See the custis hunt days thread - short and sweet.

Starts to make one wonder...

Supposedly, Johnson has picked out a new special teams coach and it will be announced this week, once the background checks have been completed.

Matt Griffin leaving has nothing to do with JHD or TC.

Was told mid next week as the latest on a new coach announcement.

Matt Griffin leaving has nothing to do with JHD or TC.

Then what is the reason? Was he fired, asked to resign, or flat out quit for another job?
