Chan let a future pro level coach, O’Brien,go from his staff because of offense. And his other hires all came from the college coaching ranks. Chan’s real sin was it was just a job for him, he never really bought into Tech. Do you really think KW would represent a Tech that way ?
If you want to see what a staff should look like check out GOLs staff. I think KW would put together an excellent t staff. I like Collins too.

This is just historically not true. Buddy Geis was a Cowboys guy. Tommie Robinson and Joe D'Alessandris were from NFL Europe connections. Guys like Brick Haley and Curtis Modkins were Texas college coaches who knew Gailey from his stint as Cowboys coach. His college connections were thin, thin, thin, bringing in disasters like Patrick Nix from his limited experience at Samford. Point is he put together a terrible staff because he had so few college connections. He was able to hire a good mercenary in Tenuta. He couldn't keep Glenn Spencer.
As he went on, he wised up and hired better recruiters like Giff Smith, Brian Jean-Mary and Charles Kelly. Just as I said.
If Whisenhunt is hired, I hope he proves me wrong, but I BETCHA he'll bring a bunch of people he's really, really, really familiar with as security blankets. And those will be old guys, 'Tech men', and NFL connections, no young, energetic coaches. I hope I'm wrong. Better yet, I hope we get Collins.
