SbNation Podcast on GT Coaching Situation

[LibertyTurns]

Hey, how about Condoleeza Rice? She turned down the Browns, but maybe she just wanted to coach a winning team?

Yeah I’m a fan of the podcast but saying Stanford has a harder time keeping guys eligible was a swing and a miss.

Stanford has a harder time getting guys in than we do (see: Demetris Robinson), but probably an easier time keeping them.

Condi would introduce the political offense to college football

Does anyone here think GT REALLY has the potential to be a sleeping giant? I never went to Tech and don’t know how truly difficult classes are, and how they affect recruiting. But can anyone give me their opinion on if it is possible or not?


The Atlantic has Clemson as their sleeping giant. Could Tech be the Coastals?

Depends on the context. Sleeping giant as perennial Top10? No. Sleeping giant as we should have a strangle hold on the Coastal for the next 3-4 yrs? Yes

Nope. Stranglehold on coastal doesn’t count lol. I wanna be a perennial top 10. I’m dreaming big lol

All the talk about embracing Atlanta culture and trying to emulate Atlanta United is really dumb and doesn't understand Atlanta Dynamics.

We just need to get better at being a Southern College football program. There are already templates and examples for ways we should be improving at all the schools within 4 hours of our campus that we refuse to use.

Atlanta United is a completely unique phenomenon that combines all kinds of factors that are not remotely transferable to Georgia Tech football or college and professional sports in general.

We need a Tech/ATL ambassador a la Luther Campbell is to Miami (c'mon Ludacris!) to take the recruits around town and show them a good time. Take 'em to an AUC party. Geesh, Spelman's just right down the street. All this said in the spirit of the podcast, why we're not selling ATL more. You're not gonna get it done just b/c we're home to Coca Cola and Chik-Fil-A which would be closed the day after the games anyway when you most want it.

Looking at that new picture I guess I know who you want.

Not as hard as you think. It's harder to get the school and Tech people to chill out and let it happen, than it is to get everyday, non-Tech Atlantans on board. A city that has such gosh awful pro sports is looking for a team to back.

To be fair, one wouldn't need to be a sleeping giant to have a strange hold over the Coastal, maybe like a napping kitten. But even then, that's perennial top 25.

Clemson is just a giant, not a sleeping giant. They've been awake for quite a few years now.

Exactly....United saw the opportunity and turned this into a soccer town quick. I'd love to see Tech do the same...we are located in one of America's GREAT cities and should be able to leverage that.

But you didn’t answer my question lol

Smh. This is so far from the truth. Atlanta United created an atmosphere in BDS better than the team that plays there regularly. How is that not transferable?

Atlanta is the music and movie capital of the world right now. Why wouldn’t we want to take an advantage of that? Why wouldn’t we want to incorporate that in our atmosphere? Did you think it hurt or helped that Carmelo Anthony, someone with no affiliation with UGA, SEC, or the South, does an interview and says he wanted to experience that atmosphere live?

Sorry, that's all I got.

Something I haven't seen mentioned, but regardless of who the next HC is, there is virtually zero chance that several offensive assistants are retained. I fully expect Mike Sewak to be gone, and I expect that with Ron West and Craig Candeto as well. Buzz Preston might potentially stay on as WR coach and Lamar Owens may also stay on in a special teams/recruiting coordinator capacity, but both of those are doubtful as well

Yes, given the right combo of coach and AD. I believe we have the right AD.
