Stansbury and Collins Dismissed

[Richard7125]

Georgia Tech has had 4 football coaches since the turn of the century, Auburn has had… 4.

Since 1975 Georgia Tech has had 8 football coaches. Auburn has had… 8.

Since 1975 Alabama has also had 8 coaches, UGA has had 5, Tennessee 8, Texas 8, Michigan 6, Ohio State 6, Clemson 7, USC 11, North Carolina 9 (but Mack Brown is 2 of those), Miami 12

Auburn really isn’t churning out coaches any more than anyone else is. They’re on a pretty standard pace.

I'm not challenging the total numbers, but three of Tech's 8 coaches left for better jobs. I don't think any of the coaches at the other schools (except Mack Brown going to Texas) left for better jobs. They were all "churned" by their schools.

Anyone have any more details on the "walking him to his car" situation? And will there be a press conference to discuss the firings?

Latest they had on the site.

Sorry, was not complaining.

Not so far and likely not.

 

[laoh]

How else would he tell all the players that he loved them? Through Whats App?

TikTok baby.

Not so far and likely not.

Interesting if no press conference for an in-season coach firing and the firing of the AD. Shocked if they don't hold one today or tomorrow. How do you not address your fans and say "we heard you, it wasn't working, we'll get things straightened out?" Weird, but very Georgia Tech.

Question about the Geoff Duncan/AD rumors: If he came here as AD, wouldn't he have to wait until after his term as Lt. Governor ends in January? I don't see him leaving his present gig early.

Typically, the AD makes the public announcement for the head coach and the President for the AD, but how often are both fired simultaneously?

Didn’t we learn our lesson about hiring guys who can’t spell Jeff?

Didn’t we learn our lesson about hiring guys who can’t spell Jeff?

Well, I wouldn't hold that against him.

God, I was thinking the same thing.

Well, most likely it was their mom's who couldn't spell.

It's hard to trust someone who was raised with parents with such terrible judgement

He's not running for re-election, so he could conceivably come as soon as he wants, if he were to be the choice.

I just don't see him quitting before his term ends.

It could be as simple as nobody was in charge.

It could also be the people doing the firing took it upon themselves to show him a cold exit.

Should have been done privately in the president 's office or off campus somewhere. Would be interesting to know who was notified first.

Any summary for the 33 pages since 9AM this morning?

I just donated to the Athletic Director's Initiative Fund. https://securelb.imodules.com/s/148...1481&gid=4&pgid=446&cid=1143&appealcode=AT20W

So what happens to the loan that Stansbury got from GT to settle the lawsuit from Oregon State over his buyout? Do we just let it go as a gesture of goodwill? See bold below. Would suck to get fired and then owe your old company a significant amount of money on top of it.

Oregon State drops lawsuit against former AD Todd Stansbury​

Zach Barnett, 3 years ago

Oregon State has dropped its lawsuit against its former AD Todd Stansbury.

Stansbury left Corvallis all the way back in 2016, when he departed for the same job at Georgia Tech, where he remains today. However, Oregon State maintained he failed to pay back the $2.1 million buyout his contract dictated, which he was obligated to pay in full within 30 days of accepting new employment. Instead, the buyout lingered until late last month, when Stansbury restructured his Tech contract to drop his salary from $937,500 to $650,000 in exchange for a nearly $1.6 million loan, which he then wired to Oregon State.

“With the support and approval of the GTAA Board of Trustees, we are pleased that he has now resolved this matter and look forward to his continuing contributions and full focus on our program’s success,” Georgia Tech said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The loan essentially locks Stansbury in to remain at Georgia Tech to 2026, lest he owe a new buyout with interest to the school.
Stansbury had previously paid roughly $1 million of his buyout to Oregon State, and the school has now collected more than the $2.1 million it was originally owed.

“Oregon State University is happy that this matter has been satisfactorily and fully concluded,” school spokesman Steve Clark told the paper.
