Guy has had a ton of 5 stars to work with. Has no real experience building a team. Again, I hope Todd is smarter than the people talking in the media, and the people on this board (including myself)
I didn't know he recruited using hookers
Rick Pitino should have hired him for his staff
Yeah...Baylor was a power house before he got there...building that program didnt require doing more with less....I will meet you at Hartsfield with a fire extinguisher

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.
It isn't always about the record. They moved into a better conference in 2013 or 2014. It's his third year and they've improved every year. Also they've been to 10 or 11 bowls in their ENTIRE history as a football program. He got them into one this year. The guy can coach. Now, can he recruit? Idk, I doubt he'd do worse than what we've been doing. Might not be much better, but I'd give Willie a shot for sure.
This is what makes me nuts. If a kid wants to play for a guy like Swinney, guess what? He’s gonna go play for Swinney. We’re not gonna out-Clemson Clemson.
Do you feel the same about Kendal Briles?
In my defense I was thinking someone like the coach at Syracuse who runs the same veer and shoot Briles ran.
I'll smack that fire extinguisher out of your hand.
Briles has a brilliant mind and can lead a program, no doubt. And he did more with less (which is what I was referencing our next coach needs to do).
I work with a guy who played safety for him. And has stories. Of stuff. Really bad stuff.
I don't want a guy (and it could anyone) who is going to lead us to 9-3, 8-4, 9-3 type seasons then suddenly get canned and put us on 5 years probation. I dunno, maybe some of us on here would welcome that, because hey, at least it's winning!
