Your choice for Head Coach

[Randy Carson]

Are you talking in theory or our current position? Because we won 5 games this year and went 4-4 down the stretch. If the next coach doesn’t go bowling next year, he’s already lost me. Our conference is a joke and Key proved our talent level is not an overwhelming difference in the ACC.

You may be right. I could change that to 7 wins or an ACC Championship every third year.

The bigger points are:

1. Four or five years guaranteed is too long, and
2. Team performance earns more time - but not years simply added onto the end of an existing contract.

We need an out that is relatively quick if things go south. I'm tired of paying coaches not to coach.

FTRS?

Just saw where Shaw at Stanford stepped down.

That is another opening that could impact the process.

Hope the selection process is well down the path to success / completion where second thoughts are not strong.

Davide Shaw made a ton at Stanford, so they have the money. But, I do not the think we are looking at guys who will be a target for them.

If you hire Fritz you’ll just be doing this again in 3-4 years when he retires.

You know for a fact he wasn't selling drugs before he came to Tech?

Who were the already known criminals that were recruited to UF under Meyer?

I didn’t imply someone recruited a criminal.

Yes. But will the program be in better shape than it is now?

G5's lose good coaches to P5's. P5's lose their coaches to the Elite Eight (or Ten or Twelve).

There has to be a reason why a great coach would remain at a lower-tier school. And that's what we are for a number of systemic reasons.

Definitely agree on both accounts

There is probably a 70+ percent chance we are doing this again in 4 years no matter who we hire. If we are doing it because the coach retired then we are lucky. No buyout.

Tulane’s Willie Fritz receiving serious consideration for Georgia Tech head-coach job

Tulane coach Willie Fritz is receiving serious consideration by Georgia Tech for its coaching opening, a person familiar with details of the search told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday.

Nice for Fritz's agent to be doing his job. (tic).

Wonder how many rumors are just that. Advertising by agents.

Yep. You wanna keep him in New Orleans? What's your contract extension offer? Tech is calling.

Wonder if this is being floated to gauge the fan base reaction. AD has someone give a "scoop" to Ken S to see what the reaction will be. Remember this? It killed TStans preferred candidate...

Report: Ken Whisenhunt to interview for Georgia Tech job Monday

Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt will interview Monday for Georgia Tech's head-coaching job, according to NBC's Al Michaels, who offered the news during the broadcast of the Chargers-Steelers game Sunday night.

Perhaps not intentionally. Following this comment chain back though, there was discussion about Urban Meyer as a possible HC, and someone said they didn't want any coach with questionable morals. The response to that was that GOL lied on his resume, which then received the response that he didn't recruit criminals. I pointed out Reuben Houston, and you said he wasn't a criminal when recruited. To me at least, that sounds like you are implying that Reuben Houston is different from the guys recruited by Urban Meyer, that some of them were already criminals before they came to UF.

I am hearing that Chadwell has dropped out. Not sure if that was his call or ours. Fritz is emerging with O'Brien and Key still in the mix.

 

[Yoda]

I honestly don’t believe any of the buzz, good or bad on candidates. I think it all all fake news for negotiations.

Chadwell to USF tomorrow. Bringing his whole staff with him might have been a sticking point.

If we hire one of these goobers with Deion, urban, Mullen etc. sitting out there available I just might be done forever. I guess I could live with a key budget hire but not the other two.

This would be my sticking point too that DC is garbage

I haven’t heard Urban Meyer linked to any college or pro job. Deion has been thoroughly discussed here. Mullen seems to be happy flying up to ESPN once a week.

Really, your fandom is dependent on Tech hiring Deion over BOB? Well, then, bye Felicia.

Lot of chatter out there that Deion is seriously considering the Colorado job.
