Chip Long - New OC

[OptionJacket]

My grandma would have been better than Patenaude so the hire is fine. They’ll all be gone in a year so it doesn’t matter much. We are now on the clock to find the next staff a year from now. We gotta get the next one right.

 

[GTLiebs]

Let's focus on one issue before we try to tackle these. We aren't hiring Jesus.

Gotta try to tackle something. God knows our secondary won't.

Sorry, mostly in jest, couldn't resist.

Has the contract been signed yet? Asking for Joe Brady

Just saw he was let go by Carolina. Would love to get him.

 

[THWUGA]

this is the dude who was an analist at Tenn b4 tulane.
isn't he supposedly bringing a UT QB transfer with him?

 

[THWUGA]

I’m fine with the hire. but also think it shows we aren’t digging into the $$ coffers yet. Meanwhile Miami is gonna sign their new HC to a $50mm contract. Tech fans will still want Red Sox results on an A’s payroll.

If Cristabol to Miami is true, Mario should already be calling Brady.

On the one hand, the people who know the coach better are more likely to have an accurate assessment, on the other hand, the people who have more irrational dislike of someone are proportionally likely to express their pleasure at a departure.

For player transfers I'd almost expect the effect to have negative significance, because we always tend to downplay transfers out, "didn't need him, didn't fit the system, etc". I wonder if any of that is typical of coach hires.

Most importantly rational people who actually know are more likely to not post on Twitter or Message boards.

Tulane fans celebrating on Twitter

All 2 of them?

What a career. Memphis under Norvell, ND under Kelly, recruiting coordinator at ASU.

He's certainly been around enough to know how to do it.

Coached ND against Clemson in the CFP's. ND buddy of mine said when he was fired at ND it was out of the blue and unexpected by the fan base.

There is a chance he didn't know what the talent was like at Tulane when he took the job or he knew and needed a paycheck.

Agree to disagree on HB's potential. IMO, he can make throws no GT QB has since maybe Godsey.

Godsey had a terrible arm, what throws are you talking about?

 

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

I consider this a big upgrade.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Then go back even further. Take your pick. My memories only go back as far as JoeHam, really. Point being, we haven't had a QB who can make those throws in decades

 

[aeromech]

He will fit right in here ​

I don't know if he will fit in that well, they scored at least twice in every game and was never shut out.

 

[goldbybirth]

Why do you think a 3rd stringer from an also ran in the weak SEC East, is going to be our savior at QB?

Maybe he knew he wasn't going to be the starter there, wants a better degree close to home and a chance to compete for the starting job.

 

[00Burdell]

Yeah. I get not being excited...

I don't.

Seems like a good hire to me. And I'm sure he and BK will work together better than BK and Pnode.

We aren't in the business of welfare college degrees, we will give guys a chance to graduate in exchange for them being excellent CFB Players.

Tired of seeing guys fail elsewhere, then slink back to GT in search of a subsidized education while they do little to nothing for our FB Program.

This is a business people, we pay for educations in exchange for excellent on-field results, GT doesn't exist for wayward FB failures to come back to GT and get a debt free college degree.

Damn dude there is absolutely nothing in this situation to justify your harshness towards this player right now. Chill out. It's getting ridiculous.

If anyone slinks back to GT for a degree and they do little to nothing for our FB Program, that 's not on them, that is on our HC.

Every day I log in and it’s “coaches suck, players suck, transfer suck, the whole athletic department sucks, everything sucks, we need to be like Alabama”

Indeed.
