Who’s your pick for Head Coach? (Poll)

[MikeJackets1967]

1)Tony Elliott
2) Scott Satterfield
3)Mike Norvell


Picks not necessarily in this order

Which ever, Elliot doesn't have the background for it. We need a head coach that understands Georgia Tech. Monken or Bohannon

Not saying Elliott is necessarily the guy, but I'm sure he "understands" Georgia Tech just fine, having gotten a degree in industrial engineering with a 3.55 gpa as a student/athlete.

Tony Elliot, and then when Justin Fields transfers out, he can come play at GT. What a beautiful thing that would be

FWIW only two guys would get me excited on that list.

My pick is whoever we come up with and I will be behind them 100%. There are several options who would be a great fit for us.

Ok I was an Alabama fans but not now don't care if they win again this year.

Have we picked a new Head Coach ? I'll give the AD till Monday at 5pm after that it will be up to us

I need to go take a shower after pulling for Alabama ( Wonder what uga fans will say about their coach calling a fake punt)

Yeah, that's the thing. Seems like there are so many better choices than when we hired Gailey, or even when we hired CPJ. And we have an AD we can have faith in.

Or Jalen Hurts.

Him too lol.

I’m on the Satterfield wagon.

I picked other because none of the options are defensive minded coaches. I don't think Tony Elliott would be a bad coach, but there are probably 40 guys we could bring in to install a version of Clemson's offense as an OC. Our defense has been a weakness since Tenuta, and I would personally like to see that addressed. A HC who is defensive first would likely help turn that around.

Geoff Collins

I'd certainly give him a call.

Not many walk in with his recruiting prowess though.

I certainly agree that Elliott has a lot of other good traits beside just the offense. I wouldn't be upset with Elliott. My personal preference is to start defense first, but I see the positives with someone like Elliott.

Derek Mason great defensively but I’ll pass a lot of Vandy people don’t want him anymore

I can understand the Vandy fanbase given his record. That being said, he’s got 4 yrs of HC experience at a challenging place to coach. Indications are we’re going to improve support. He spent 3 yrs on the Vikings so he has Pro experience plus He was Asst HC at Stanford where he saw first hand what a lot of resources could do for you. The Stanford angle should make many on here drool as there’s only 1, maybe 2 schools the diehards around here are more envious of than them. I’m also a big believer that you can not succeed at a job & a change of scenery sometimes allows a reset and much better performance. You have learned lessons & don’t step in the same traps. Hard fails this is not the case but that is not what Mason has done. Lastly, defenses win championships & if that’s what we’re after maybe the road to better odds of that happening is not by having a unique offense, but by having a stalwart defense. Really, if we had a stout D & ran the triple O it just might do the trick but that ship has sailed.

I lived in the Nashville area when Franklin left and Mason came in. Mason is well thought of as an individual. But he never really captured the interest of the fans and local media. That's not in his nature. Franklin had people talking about Vandy FB and created excitement around the program that had not existed in a long, long time. Mason just doesn't have that charisma. I think GT needs someone who can get the fans and media on his side. Would love him as a DC if CNW left.

I’ve figured it out..... cut ties with anyone who was under CPJ for an extended period of time (nothing against those guys, just get a fresh start)

HC: Elliot
OC/QB: Brandon Streeter (current Clemson QB coach)
OL/Co OC: Key
ST/CB/recruiting coordinator: Charley Kelly
WR: Calving Johnson
RB: Tashard Choice

 

[tech_wreck47]

Yeah, after much teeth-knashing (or gnashing), I think I've settled in on this 3. Elliot, Satt, Collins, in that order.

Same here, if I had to pick a 4th of names I’ve heard I’d say Brown.

Is this TStan’s search committee?

Is @GTonTop88 actually TStan?

As another poster noted, Dabo was the interim head coach before being hired. Clemson got a test run. If Tech hires Elliot, it's a huge financial commitment for a guy who has zero sole-OC or head coaching experience. Elliot may be hired, and he may work out, but it would be a huge gamble. Keep in mind that UCF considered Elliot last year and chose another candidate.

UCF chose another candidate with no HC experience though. That doesn’t discredit the ability of Hill and his ability to potentially be a good HC.
