Potential Head Coach Hires

[THWG16]

Does he know how to recruit? Does he know how to handle 18-22 year olds? Has he coached players who are not professionals?

I am not saying he is a bad choice. I am saying that what he has done in the NFL does not answer any of those points.

Al Groh was an amazing NFL coach. He was not able to teach college players how to run his scheme though.

We haven't recruited in years

From the "plausible, but total conjecture" file:

On the broadcast of UGAg vs GT the announcers openly asked if PJ would retire after this season, referencing a recent interview with Jeff Schultz. I was immediately like "huh?" and finally Googled something up in the AJC when PJ signed his latest contract extension through 2022. He told the AJC he didn't think he'd reach the end of that contract before he retired. As in regardless of W/L he wants to retire before 2022.

So why would Nate Woody, DC at Appalachian State, leave to take on a total shambles GT defense for a HC he knows has no more than 4 years left max when he has a terrific defense at App State and a HC destined for bigger jobs soon?

*place tin foil on head now*

Nate Woody came over as DC to ease the transition for the program so that Scott Satterfield can lean on his defense 2-3 years into being converted before he has to swallow the painful pill of wholesale change in offensive personnel that will likely lead to a VERY bad offense for at least 2 years. Those extra 2-3 years allow AI2020 to also be completed which includes a host of facilities improvements, a huge endowment increase, increased recruiting staffs and budgets, and more. Everything lines up almost TOO well.

TED ROOF???!!!!

These were not in priority order.

Like 30+? I guess you're right.

 

[Js-showman]

Steve Spurrier already has a job as head coach of the new Orlando Apollos of the Alliance of American Football

Yes. He’s a stretch.

The more I hear about the Temple coach and other college guys, it gets me more excited than going with an old nfl guy like Whisenhunt.

You have to be kidding

Bobby Petrino needs a job also and he could bring Brian Van Gorder also

 

[ibeattetris]

So there is something we can agree on.

Just because I don't think our offense is a problem doesn't mean I don't think our defense hasn't been a MAJOR issue.

He took a team that transitioned from the FCS to the FBS and made them a consistent 9-10 win team and always sitting near or at the top of their conference.

Yeah I get that but haven't actually watched them enough to see what makes them good.

Tony Eliot

Hearing rumblings of this or your personal choice?

 

[Milwaukee]

Neal Brown please.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Hearing rumblings of this or your personal choice?

He would be a strong hire for GT

If this turns out to be true Todd will be hailed as a genius! (until the first bad loss)

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Neal Brown please.

I bet GT will either hire Neal Brown,Scott Satterfield or Mike Houston

 

[year_of_the_swarm]

Interesting that UNC didn't even contact Satterfield... At least thats what I read.

 

[Boss Ross]

I believe our AD was on the 1983-84 team with Wisenhunt, there has to be a connection

It’s a done deal !

Hell yeah

Given your recent record in your predictions, I am now sure it will be none of those
