[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 834080, member: 2957"] I look at it differently. Butch Jones was the seventh (yes, 7th) choice for Tennessee in the coaching search. No one wanted the job. No one wanted the job when Pruitt was hired. Literally. And this is a program that is Top 5 facilities, an incredible fanbase, huge swag sales, private aircraft and oodles of donors. What can we reasonably expect for Tech? Do we really think we are going to bring in a proven winner? I doubt it. Not with our facilities and our debt. Look at some of the lower tier programs (South Alabama, UAB, Kennesaw, etc) and they are all building brand new facilities with a nice game day atmosphere at a fraction of the cost of our program. I'm not sold on Geoff. But, he is the only guy that ran INTO the burning building and for that, I'm a wait and see guy. I honestly don't know who would want the job, so godspeed and good luck. Perhaps we will be in a different place in two more years. But did we really have to wander in the desert for 5 years after CPJ? Maybe we did ... but without an "edge" ... I think we will struggle against almost anyone in the Top 25. *** This comment is brought to you by Jack Daniels, the official whiskey of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the World's Best Selling Whiskey. *** [/QUOTE]
