Paul Johnson time frame.

[OldJacketFan]

I think that he would be good because his offensive system has some elements of what we do. He would also probably keep Woody which is a huge plus imo. Satterfield also took a program from the FCS to the FBS and has continually had 9+ win seasons.

Okay, that's what I'm asking. Definitive accomplishments beyond a w-l record.

 

[RiseUpATL]

I am the only one on the Lane train so far.

I’m with you. GT needs a guy like that.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

One more time, what scheme and when has Tech brought in hoards of 4-5 star skill players? Do you want to compete against the Clemsons, GAs, Bamas etc for the same 4-5 stars players they're after?

And compete with Tennessee also who is now recruiting heavily in Georgia with head coach Jeremy Pruitt. GT will probably always have to make due with 2-3 star players with a 4-5 star player from time to time

 

[CHE90]

Yeah if only we had the same funding as those schools we wouldn't fumble the ball 6 times. With more funding do you think that would allow CPJ to let us run a two minute offense when down 3 TDs?

We have more funding than USF, I guess that's the school you left out. Why did we lose to them?

We don't have more funding than USF. The athletic department at Tech has more funding than USF athletic department because we have way more sports. In football, however, they outspend us.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Satterfield doesn't have any P5 experience and only 3 years of experience anywhere other than App State. Thats a huge gamble for a hire that has to, at worst, get us to 7-5 consistently to keep our football program at least somewhat relevant. We aren't in the same position we were in after 07 where we could afford to whiff.

It is going to be a gamble no matter which way we go, whether it is an up and comer or a P5 assistant. If we want someone with P5 head coaching experience, we are going to be limited to candidates with mixed results like Strong or Lane (if he would consider us). Cant be afraid to take a risk. There is no "perfect" candidate.

 

[tech_wreck47]

There really isn't a decent choice out of that list.

Seriously lol? Pretty good to me. We aren’t going to get some HUGE namd coach. Who would you want? And do you know anything about those options?

 

[Lavoisier]

Yeah but the Sunbelt is full of programs that only moved up to FBS in the last decade. Georgia Southern, State, North Texas, Coastal Carolina. He did well, but he was also doing it against a pretty even playing field.

 

[tech_wreck47]

Since this is a huge decision right now I thought it would be interesting to see who people would actually want. BTW this will more than likely be for after the 2021 season unless something really unexpected happens imo. I took names from what I’ve seen people post plus the one who I’d like the most.

Decision was meant to be discussion lol.

 

[Lavoisier]

Not P5 head coaching experience necessarily but at least an assistant, preferably a coordinator. Satterfield has never even been a position coach in a major program. G5 and P5 is such a huge difference that I don't think you can look at someone that has zero experience.

 

[smokey_wasp]

I’m with you. GT needs a guy like that.

Welcome aboard. He is risky for sure, but would immediately bring eyeballs to our program and get the attention of recruits. We would have a cool factor we havent had since...who knows?

 

[Cam]

This is me voting for Brent Venables.

Pretty sure Venables is just waiting for Bill Snyder to retire at Kansas State so he can take over as head coach. In the meantime, he'll keep collecting rings at Clemson.

Or Derek Mason if he's fired from Vanderbilt or even Bobby Petrino if he's canned by Louisville in December. Those are two retreads that might come to GT. Another retread that it might be possible for GT to hire would be former Falcons and UCLA head football coach Jim Mora Jr who has a 46-30 college football record.

 

[jacobchbe]

If you guys think we suck now, just wait until the transition years away from CPJ.

It was always going to be that way transitioning away from the option offense

Hell no to Booby, why would you want a coach with a pitiful winning% in Mason?

 

[stech81]

There is no need for a new Coach at this time.

He did

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I'm saying those are the type of retreads who would possibly be interested in GT

Why would Tech be interested in them????? LMAO!!!!!!!

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I think Jim Mora Jr would be worth an interview The others not so much

Eh, I think going from a coordinator to a head coach is just as much, if not more of a transition than going from G5 to P5. No guarantee of success either way, but hey, that's why it's fun.
