While we are hypothesizing about future head coaches, I would like us to brainstorm about potential head coaches that have a track record of being involved with beating Mark Richt (who had a track record of always beating us and being competitive with Florida when he was at F$U - brilliant hire by ga).
I have gotten guilty enjoyment out of reading and posting on Stingtalk the past week. It has been very enlightening and the discussions have been top notch. Before getting back to the topic of the post, I think it is important for me to write that #1 I support the Jackets and will never root against Chan or our SAs. I would love nothing more than to end the season with 4 straight wins. (I will be pretty bitter if we don't though).
This being said.... Bobby Johnson at Vandy is the first name that comes to mind. There are some similarities between Tech's and Vandy's program, but not enough (Vandy doesn't even have an athletic dept.) This isn't the point of the post, anyway. The fact is that Bobby beat ga last year. Additionally, he gives them fits every year. Vandy gave ga the game on a silver platter this year.
I do not have much else. However, to fuel the discussion a bit, let's look at the SEC. Are there any coordinators at Auburn, Florida, or LSU available? How about Tennessee? We have had some luck with guys from there.
Maybe demjackets can answer this: do we have the means to steal an established head coach from anywhere? I have seen Jim Grobe thrown around, which I would support, mildly. Is this even worth discussing? If so, I would throw out Rich Brooks at Kentucky. Aaaaaaannnnnnnnnd..... I would also like to throw out the old ball coach, himself (ok, I have obviously run out of serious points).
Anyway, as you can see, I need some help with this. Thanks in advance.
