Potential Head Coach Hires

[AlabamaBuzz]

Yeah, 30 points a game is so horrible.

In contrast, CKW, while head coach of the Titans, averaged just under 16 pts per game - that is Chan territory.

devils advocate on whiz:
Nick Saban has a bad pro record, but he spent most of his career in college. That doesn’t change the fact that the NFL is different than college, and the margin between being a playoff team and not is razor thin. There are egos to be managed, and salary and roster problems.
When he has a good QB, his teams do pretty well. Can he get a good QB to come to Tech? Chan had us competitive, his biggest downfall was the offense weirdly enough.
I think CFB is moving away from the Mark Richts and Paul Johnson’s to the Dabos and the Kirby Smarts. Still the leader and making overarching decisions, but less hands on with play calling. Do we have the money to go that route though?

Everyone assumes he will be Chan, but that isn’t the only way it could go. If he gets good college assistants around him and can close in living rooms, he could be a good fit.

But this also could be for naught and he isn’t the guy.

Kirby smart is a joke for a head coach at GT he wouldn’t win sh-/.

I wanted Lane Kiffin !! I don’t know if it will work or not but it looked great last night. Hell its got to be better than what we had.

lol

Don't answer that, TJ. I'ssa trap!

Well would not be my first choice, but we could do worst than Wiz!

His team is playing well this year, and he has been a major part of that. I’m curious to see his personality. I think that matters in college just as much as x’s and o’s.

Does anyone have any past interviews from him?

Against mediocre teams

 

[MikeJackets1967]

It looked great with a Hall of Fame QB, Phillip Rivers. When he had Mariota and Leinart, it did not look great. It does not "have to be better than what we had". Chan was NOT better than what we had, and it could be worse than that. I hope not, but it could be.

Here's something from The Wiz dedicated to TStan and the Wiz

 

[TheTaxJacket]

He was first, if I knew before joining I would have changed it haha


I have passed the tests and just put in my application for the license last week. But if I knew there was a TheTaxJacket when I joined I would have picked something else lol

Congrats! That exam sucks!! I passed a few years ago. Then i got my life back.

 

[motynes]

I don’t think anyone can coach as bad as Chan did

Just wait. It will be much worse. Funny thing is I hate watching the NFL so much cause those offenses are so boring and because I’m obsessed with everything GT I’m going to watch something I hate until KW is fired. I hope to god we don’t give him 5 years. I can just hear the excuses now... “he has to have a chance to recruit his type athlete.” Bunch of BS.

TECH WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RECRUIT THE SAME ATHLETE AS BAMA, CLEMSON, AND UGA!!!!!!! Why don’t people understand that?!?!?!?

Dangit, mike!

I was saving the Wiz stuff for down the line. Thanks for stealing my thunder.

If you think his offense is mediocre god help you

At the college level I believe that is the ceiling. Don't act like Whisenhunt has done anything in the pros without a great QB that didn't really need a great OC.

 

[slugboy]

To be fair, it's not like Whisenhunt hasn't had any success...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Whisenhunt


...but the last years of KW as a HC?! I'll let everyone be the judge.

For those who don’t remember, he played Tight End (and QB once) for Bill Curry in the early 80s. Standard pro set. Standard pro set is what he did at Pittsburgh.
He’s known for cautious tweaks to an offense, not game-changing innovation.
I saw a tweet saying “if he brings his own OC”, but unless they’re mistakenly thinking of Friedgen, I don’t know what they’re thinking.

Some would prefer 15 pts a game in exchange for a few more passes.

"Oooh, look how they tossed a 2yd pass instead of running the ball."

Same folks gonna be pissed when we can't run for a 1st on 3rd and 1.

With a QB 7 yards back from the LOS. But it makes for easier reads dontyaknow

Watch KC, Carolina, and the Rams play. The offenses are fun. Texans are fun just because DeShaun Watson makes sh!t happen. Offenses are beginning to see value in college concepts.

I REALLY wish some NFL team would hire CPJ as an OC. Man that would be fun to watch in the NFL.

AGAIN, UNLIKE. That is what we will get. Vanilla, with little innovation, if you ask me.

That is the OC job to score points. He has to have great coordinators

 

[TheTaxJacket]

If it’s KW he absolutely needs to get an OC. I’m not ok with a HC calling plays. HC needs to be the CEO of the team and manage the coordinators.

 

[LawTalkin Jacket]

I think that Whiz’ Chargers being in the playoffs is a major impediment to his getting the job. Can’t see him leaving Rivers at the alter in midst of playoffs and the SB is in Feb, so he’d be missing almost 2 critical months of work, including hiring assistants and recruiting. That could/should be a deal breaker.

I said 5 years OR LONGER when he was coaching someone else’s players. Damn you can beat Tetris but I guess you don’t need reading comprehension for that. 3 years ago was 2015 and we all know that season and both wins.

Well, five or longer includes five....so I am not sure my reading comprehension was bad. My edit to mention three years ago was to indicate CPJ's players had nothing to do with anything. He had more wins against UGA with his players than he did with Chan's.

He was the HC - he had experience as an OC, but he could not hire or fire the OC????

Bottom line - twice, he was responsible for developing good young QBs, Mariota and Leinart. He failed BOTH times. I do not understand what anyone is thinking here.

Do any of you supporters of this remember Gailey?
