[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 783319, member: 2332"] I think you make an interesting point about CGC's aptitudes. However, I'd disagree about the likely trajectory. NFL front office is all about money. It's rare for a team to 'recruit' a free agent with culture and branding. (It helps to be a team players want to play for.) But at the end of the day, the vast majority of the time, it's giving their agent a money number that works. That said, I think, for all the reasons you mentioned, CFB is becoming more of a 'free agent' game. Opening up NIL is only going to exacerbate that. It's going to add a whole new dimension to the calculus of where players go. I think programs with strong culture, branding and media presence are going to have a leg up in that arena. The factories will always have a money advantage. Bama's probably going to get their 3rd string punter a lucrative 'endorsement deal' from a booster-owned ag supply in Hicksville. But, Tech's Atlanta location and CGC's culture/brand awareness gives us an opportunity to create a synergy in the local marketplace. UGag is the default college 'sports franchise' in our state. But Tech- the institute has a high level of recognition. Even my most ardent Dwag-fan friends want their kids to go to Tech, if they can. Most of the folks I know in the metro area aren't from here originally, and highly respect Tech. I absolutely believe there's a place for our program to build a lucrative endorsement and image media environment for our players in Atlanta. And CGC might be one of the best-suited HCs for the new paradigm. Think: Coca-Cola's VP of social media sees a meme trending about the start of college football season. (S)he needs a timely media post to take advantage of the moment. Who's players are right across the street to bring in for a quick video clip? Who's coach would gladly re-arrange practice to work in a meme-able moment posing with coke bottles for a media blast. Tech. We can do that! If CGC is highly successful here and if he gets hired away. I think it'd be by a college factory looking for a media-savvy GM/CEO type head coach. [/QUOTE]
