Via ESPN other candidates whiffed on the idea of not having a certain amount of money guaranteed. J Batt is working with his hands tied behind his back b/c of the Collins 11M owed. Can't get your guy with a bad offer.
Love it - the Bleacher Report stream for GT FB has posts time stamped just minutes apart saying Fritz was the guy, then Key. I generally like Ken’s work, but he got sucked in to the wrong “insider” source on this one.
Yeah, that's an agent trying to cover why his guy wasn't chosen.
No, you interview in-house as a matter of principle. Leave no stone unturned, and see what you have at home. BUT, you don't entertain ladies from all over when you know you have your wife to be in the room all along..... so to say.
That's actually not true, at least not a the large company where I work. We always interview external candidates. Partly to see what's out there and partly to make sure we have a diverse candidate pool.
You don't????? Did they change the rules or has this always been the case? Asking for a friend.
If what Joe Hamilton said was true which I see no reason for him to fabricate that story supposedly Weinke was calling plays past 2 weeks. If so sounds like to me Long isn't gonna be the OC?
! Now let's get this thing turned around completely!
I think Fritz was offered, asked us not to say anything, someone did and pissed Fritz off, he backed away perhaps with Tulane stuffing cash in his pocket, then Batt deciding that in the interest of keeping the program falling further away with the likes of the recent portal announcements and with perhaps Pyron bolting, he decided to get on the Key wagon.
Georgia Tech names interim coach Key to top job
Georgia Tech has named Brent Key, who went 4-4 as interim coach after taking over for Geoff Collins, as the team's new football coach.www.espn.com
Per espn now. Wonder if the Fritz thing was real and he backed out or if Ken really screwed up his sources
"Tech struggled to lure a big outside name because of the school's reluctance to guarantee large portions of the contract, with the amount of guaranteed money a nonstarter for some candidates."
We are rightfully in a spot where we can't guarantee a big contract, due to Collins
Not so different than corporate America as you have to consider a broke company attracting new hires. You can promote from within and pay less than competing with other companies for an external hire. That's what happened here.
I just can't see Key cutting Long after one season when Long was the guy he recommended in the first place. Im also not sure we can afford it.
Hahaha. Depends on if you're truly ready to commit.
