Tech grad Todd Stansbury to be named new AD

[slugboy]

You're not nuts. I see it too. It's "Up with the White and Gold" ....

Considering we stole the song from Cal, I'm not particular about the order. Like the other song better

You mean the one we stole from the Colorado School of Mines?

It's not often a fan base gets jazzed up about an AD hire, but it's happing this time. Good day for GT - now let's make it better by sending Clemson home a loser.

I will say if he decides to get rid of CPJ at the slightest provocation to get HIS GUY (whatever that means) my attitude may change

I wish we'd stolen a coach from the Colorado School of Mines...grumble grumble grumble

I think everyone understands it's gonna take someone at the top, who understands Tech to elevate our program to a national prominence. This hire is the beginning of that process.

Pleased with this hire!

As the hurricane emergency electric company worker once said to me as he was almost run over by a driver now impatient to get back in his house, "They all love you until the lights come back on." Let's get a look at him with the lights on.

Fwiw it looks like UCF fans weren't really sad to see him go last year. But they are in a much different place as a program than we are.

Looking at Stansbury's GT experience as a player the Jackets had a record of 17 - 36 - 2 during the 1980 - 1984 seasons he was on the team.

And look who the coach he played under was. Enough said

 

[UgaBlows]

He played with Ken Wisenhunt as well

What does that have to do with his ability to do the job?

It's a reply to people saying he may fire CPJ right away because we aren't undefeated champions every year.

Unfortunately its the next hire that matters....the president

God Bless young man.

LOT on your plate
- Budget
- "uni" contract
- Facilities upgrade
- Better football scheduling
- Fund raising

- Winning

All you mentioned are right at the top of my "want" list. Just interested in what facilities youthink need upgrading? Betterfootball schedule? absolutely, we just paid Mercer $400,000 to be a punching bag when all I hear is how bad our AD financies are. Drop all cupcakes, schedule home& home p-5 teams only. We might suffer some losses, but Tech fans will come out to see top competition

... unless it was in the contract.

Uh, no. Contract provisions that force employees to pay their former employers if they take a job elsewhere are generally considered illegal restraints akin to "indentured servitude" and unenforceable regardless what the contract says. The relevant factors are generally the ones identified in my previous post. The law in this field is very much industry-by-industry and position-by-position specific, and I've never seen an analysis of where AD's fall on the spectrum.

For him to fire johnson at the end of this season would be a beautiful thing.That would get everybody's attention!!

I think you're wrong about that. You may want to read this: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/spor...stansbury-ad-oregon-state-20150618-story.html

You are high if you think they're paying that buyout. And, I'm not convinced we'd do better right now...
