Potential Head Coach Hires

[BuzzThePlumber]

Whisenhunt was just asked about his interest in and if he's been contact about the GT opening at the 6:50 mark

Interesting— certainly not an indication that he’s uninterested.

Has anyone mentioned Dino Babers At Syracuse or Matt Campbell @ Iowa state?

.0001% Both of these guys are getting interest from much bigger football schools than us. Babers to USC maybe end of next season if Helton and Kingsbury don't get it done next year, and Campbell rumoured for Ohio St gig whenever Urban leaves which may be this year.

I'd be happy with either guy. Not sure that we are a big enough step up for them to leave. If they are C or C+ jobs what is GT realistically? Probably a B job.

 

[CuseJacket]

I don't think either are realistic for the reasons already mentioned.

That said, Babers should consider his stock this year vs. next year, when next year he'll be without Dungey and 30 turnovers gained.

According to an OSU friend of mine, who still lives in Columbus, OSU is waiting on Luke Fickell

Thanks Capt. Obvious, of course he needs to be a great recruiter and has to have some go-getters on staff

Your argument was his scheme costs us multiple players per year, and if we bring in a different system, we'll automatically get more NFL guys, even if we change nothing about the way that we recruit.

My argument was the reason we've missed on some higher-rated prospects was less about scheme and more about recruiting hard and differently than has been done traditionally. It feels like that wasn't quite as obvious to you based on some of your comments..

As I pointed out elsewhere, this is the kind of thinking that got us B*** L****. We need someone who knows what to do with the players we've got and who can recruit within our limitations. Those limits will not change! Learn to live with it.

Yea, great message......we can’t get better, let’s accept that we can only achieve mediocre status and that’s good enough. It’s exactly that kind of thinking that kept Johnson around as long as he was.

Give me a CEO to run the program right. And I'm all over keeping Nate Woody at DC and taking a shot with Kenny Dillingham as OC. No rumor I've read, just like the sound of the guy and what he has done in his (short) career.

 

[Madison Grant]

We won't turn into UGAg, but we'll recruit higher rated classes with a different offense. Question is will we squander them like UNC, South Carolina, schools of that ilk.

 

[RamblinCharger]

The people that talk about our struggles in recruiting talk about what holds us back in recruiting. Are we behind the 8-ball, yes? Can we still do better than 50sih with the right guy? Yes. "But we haven't in the past" ... My rebuttal to that is that we've had 3 boring guys in their 50-60s since GOL and Russell Athletic. No reason why we can't recruit in the top 25-35 regularly with the right guy and the right AD (which we have)... just my opinion.

Sorry if already posted



I would be happy with either of these and if this is the direction TStan is thinking of going, I am happy.

Seems we hired a young coach from App State before and it worked out pretty well.

 

[GTonTop88]

Good let’s let Saban and Dabo fight over it.

ESPN just reported Ken Whisenhunt is interviewing for the position this weekend

 

[MWBATL]

Anyone here not trust TStan to be able to make the right hire regardless of what scheme the coach will run?

Or are you going to complain from day one if the coach that gets hired just doesn't specialize in whatever offense you wanted to see GT run?

I'm trying to gauge and set my own expectations to see if we can at least give the new guy a few years of committed support regardless of what offensive scheme he runs and also the W/L while he builds the team he needs.

I like your think8ng but despair that this fan base will pull together behind the new coach.......too many unrealistic expectations and too many fans who think they know more than people who do sports for a living.....

I mean one of these guys can't even spell his own name right, how the heck is he going to work out?

 

[Animal02]

So CPJ is the best recruiter we can hope for with the current money we have? That's just not true, sorry. We can have much better recruiting.

Nope. You will have the same problems. It is delusional to think that without the $$$$ things will change by much.

Ken Whisenhunt's agent just wants to get him a raise...

Openings mean a lot of coaches will get raises by virtue of being associated with another job...whether true or not.
