[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 822568, member: 265"] In the interest of sanity, I'm keeping this to my responses, except the last. 1. Moncken was the obvious choice if we wanted to keep the TO, but Fritz was on some people's lists, mine, for instance, at the time (btw, he still is). Bohannon would have taken the job as well and probably still would; several assistants were being talked about. Niumatalolo would have stayed at Navy and still will; he'll retire as their winningest coach ever. 2. Point 1: Isn't it obvious why now? It was just as obvious then. Point 2: That was always the rap. Problem = year of offensive success and a D roster filled with 4 star recruits makes sustaining the argument difficult. And, yes, that's why we hired Ted Roof and kept him. Point 3: True. Paul was unable to match the offer of the one DC h really wanted. Too bad, that. 3. Sooooo … you find the fans united these days? I think these divisions were in the cards and had been for years. If the team was winning, however, the rumblings were kept under control. 4. I think this business about growing the fanbase has always been unrealistic. Tech has a small alum base, many of the students today could care less about going to the games (even at Bama), and the Atlanta market is crowded with multiple sports events. [I]Basketball[/I] has a better chance of growing then football, imho. Also, nothing re-energizes a program like winning. I know this makes me sound like a Paul fanboy, but I'm really not. We can win at Tech with a spread offense.and it does make the people who pay so much attention to recruiting happy. I thought we would have been better off sticking to our last and, like you, I was surprised that Wisenhunt wasn't interested in the job, but all that is over. We have to win with the new direction. But it remains to be seen if that will happen. If is doesn't, we need to rethink. [/QUOTE]
