This take isn't particularly complimentary, but I found this quote a bit inspiring.

If Groh takes this job, the message he is sending seems crystal clear. He wants to show everyone that they were wrong in judging him as a failure. He will be hell bent on proving that he can create a championship-level defense with the right talent around him.
He could probably do this at a few places, but by picking Georgia Tech, he wants to rub it in the face of the entire conference. Of course, if he takes the job, then he actually has to do that—the last thing Groh's legacy needs is another mediocre stint.
If I were a Georgia Tech fan, I would be excited. Groh may not be a head coach, but he knows how to run defenses and his initial gameplans are pretty solid. You would be hard pressed to find many more coordinators out there with as much experience or familiarity with the conference.
