Potential Head Coach Hires

[RamblinCharger]

The point is that you need to go to the games in order for our coach to win.

A loss to uga with 50k gold shirts in the BDS bleachers would be better for the program than a win with the typical 60% red stadium.

We need fans that care more than a coach that wins (ask CPJ). So what coach would make you care?

You might have to take this up with the admissions office if I had my opinion on the matter.

Let’s be honest recruiting at Tech is entirely different than recruiting at Alabama and Clemson.

Okay, let's be honest. No it isn't.

He’s an OL coach. Only a coordinater for one year. Never a head coach. Too much of a reach. If we go with Key we are really desperate imo.

Maybe a candidate next time around if he proves some things.

I understand this but everyone else is acting like recruiting is the only issue.

Some people think Key is ready including O’Leary and Sabin. Those are some very good recommendations.

It will be different with any new coach. The staff will be extremely critical. The old staff was CPJ and friends on offense. Various on D. CAM did the recruiting and should be retained no matter who is hired.

Yes it is. We have limited majors.

We are the only STEM school in the country playing big time sports. We compare to Cal Poly and MIT.

We don’t make exceptions. 75% of UGA’s athletes are exceptions.

Just take a look at the majors for athletes at Stanford and Duke if you don’t understand we are different.

We can’t qualify most of Georgia’s top players.

I am a firm believer in no junk degrees at Tech. Let’s don’t change who we are for athletic excellence.

What we need to change is what we invest in our recruiting staff and make our pool bigger by recruiting nationwide.

This thing is going about like the basketball search went, so far at least. Might want to throw some of that Gregory money at CPJ and see if he’ll change his mind. Take the Hewitt money and hire a couple of extra recruiters.

Geez, you just want all the bland, uninspired, milquetoast NFL coordinators, don’t you? Who do you want as DC? Dom Capers?

I think it’s telling that a lot of non-Tech folks are also comparing Wiz to Gailey 2.0.

I’m surprised that many non-Tech people know who Chan Gailey is.

Honest question have you looked to see if any of that is true? The AJC did a study in football players at GT and the exception and eligibility part is entirely false. We do give exceptions (at a lower rate) and less than half of uGAs football team has exceptions (on par with the same ratio as every other D1 school in Georgia)

 

[UgaBlows]

Was Key the former player that bad mouthed GT in negative recruiting or was that someone else? If him it’s an immediate disqualifier imo.

Yes Sir.

It is false. GT absolutely makes exceptions for athletes. It's not the majority of athletes like uga but we do make academic exceptions.

Why not add non junk majors that fit GT but still would help athletics across the board?
Kinesiology, Nursing, Nutrition, Forensics, Broadcasting, Journalism, Fianance (new major instead of a business concentration)?

Uga is in the 30-40% range which is by definition a minority. It's more than tech, but it's not like Halloween and giving away waivers like candy. Same % as southern and state, but ugas players have slightly higher SATs

And what is that percentage for Tech now? <10%? <5%

 

[bobongo]

Success at the expense of the kids.......do we really want grey shirting....forcing kids that don't live up to expectations out to free up scholarships etc etc. One of the things that really set CPJ apart from the crowd was his honor in keeping the commitment to the players

Is that Brent Key's fault? I doubt that would go on here, anyway. Tech folks wouldn't stand for it.

He's a reach like Dabo was a reach. About the same experience.

Mods, any way we can we get a header on this thread that lists all of the possible candidates that have been named via sources and have it updated as more surface or fall off?

For those wanting a coach who understands the academic rigors, Tony Elliott has a real IE degree (don’t hate, I have IE degree too) from Clemson and worked at Michelin before he started coaching. He has quite a story...

Holy cow, this is an awesome story.

Okay, let's be honest. No it isn't.

How can you possibly think that recruiting with no admissions restrictions, no academic concerns and 7nlimited budgets (Bama and Clemson) isn’t dramatically different than recruiting at GT?

It was him
