Potential Head Coach Hires

[RonJohn]

I would like to note to all the reports of Collins being the lead candidate, if you go by the reports we have only interviewed 2 people, one which has pulled is name out.

What reports have said that TS only interviewed two people? I have only seen reports indicating that he interviewed KW and GC, but I have not seen any reports that nobody else was interviewed. Apparently one guy was hanging out in the Hotel that TS was staying in in New York watching for coaches to come in, but many of the people reporting are nowhere close to where TS is and can't possibly know who he has or has not talked to.

Tennessee needs to step away from their outdated pro offense They could do amazingly worse then Briles.

I agree

He’s not below average, but he’s not a good hire either.

Really when did you interview him? Enlighten us on any other interviews you had for the head coach. To say he not your choice that is fine or you would rather it be ______ is fine but you are making a judgement call saying someone is not a good hire that you have not talked to or interviewed

ESPN reporting Geoff Collins is the front runner for the GT head coaching job

They probably read this board.

They probably read this board.

With all their budget cuts and layoffs i wouldn't doubt it

Exactly. I swear some of our fans would ***** if they won the lottery

Aren’t you the guy that was claiming it was KW’s job a couple of days ago? Now you’re on here claiming you know it will be Collins? It might end up being Collins, but you have zero credibility.

If he leaves in 2yrs that mean GT is a great place and he was promoted again to Either Bama or UF (i doubt it tho)

Great place in two years? Come on man, that ain’t how it works. He just needs to show enough potential to get hired by one of the SEC dumpster fires willing to pay 4-5 mill.

That resume would be a red flag in any other industry. Hopefully he’d settle in, but I’m not sold just yet.

I do think he brings a ton of positives if he’s the guy though. He caters to the generation he’s recruiting. I think we could up our talent level significantly. I’m not sold on this, “Tech will never recruit” narrative that so many here pitch.

In his defense, I think he said it was his job to turn down, not that it was his job.

I’m not saying it’s a reason to not take him. Just that two years and out might actually hurt us more than help us.

Ken S. getting in on the action now.

We need to find what name Ken S uses on here

It sounds like Kendal Briles is out as possible OC at GT. Kendal Briles is interviewing tomorrow for the Tennessee OC job in Knoxville and will probably take it according to the word that's going around.

Too much baggage with the Briles name

 

[BleedingGold]

If it is indeed Collins, tabbing the right OC is going to be huge seeing how he's a defensive minded guy. What do you guys think of Larry Fedora?

What an easy way to ensure you can’t be wrong

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I think he should get an interview when GT starts looking for an OC

Nope

 

[bke1984]

Yep. Then hopefully it can be “his job to turn down”

He worked for Andy at mtsu and they remain friends. Wonder if we could get unc to pay 50%

Go back and look at his posts. Guy is literally parroting internet rumors and passing it off as “what [he’s] hearing.”

 

[dressedcheeseside]

But the problem is Pitt, Miami, UVa, VT, unc, Duke, Clemson, and uga see us every year.

And I liked the offense would have thought we should pass more but see why we didn't the last 2 years

Personnel issues. We passed 15x/game with Josh, Tevin and Justin.

There are many other jobs, other than just Bummer and GatorNation, that would be a step up, especially in $$, for a coach. I will be surprised beyond belief if he has enough success early to move anywhere (assuming this all comes to fruition), unless we move him. I hope I am wrong.
