What's his plan to take GT to the next level academically? Clearly, that involves expanding majors and degrees granted. Sure it won't be easy, but it's also his job to develop a plan and manage the Board of Regents.

Maybe we should ask a broader question: what's different today than when he started? How many of those differences were pure trajectory and how many are attributable?
Hell yeah, hallejujah brother, I'm smelling what you are cooking. He should be pain in the BOR's side to get GT a medical school and whatever the hell else we want. And more majors. If they don't approve a new one, rejigger an old one to be athlete friendly. Resist!!! Live free or die!!!

Whatever happens I still think Woody is a competant and fairly cheap DC. Can we keep him?
If progress continues to be made, I think there is a strong case to keep Woody unless the new coach has his own guy or is really attached to a different philosophy.

New coach has got to make that call. If CNW can’t persuade the new coach it shouldn’t matter that he persuaded a bunch a spectators.

I agree that the (still theoretical) new coach has to be given the freedom to make the decision. Forcing someone on him that he doesnt want would get the relationship off to a rocky start. Just mean that if performance justifies keeping him, the new coach would be smart to consider it.

That's the best argument for keeping him that I've heard.
While I dont expect it to happen I think Harbaugh would be a great idea. If he is denied something by the hill, he can just go ahead and say "this was good enough for Stanfordm but not for GT?"

Mike Gundy sitting at #10 on hot seat behind Johnson. Cowboys are 2-3. $5M per year but only $5M buyout. 50 years old.

Would be similar to a Leach hiring - exciting O but who knows on D.

Gundy being on the hot seat rankings is an example of why they are for entertainment purposes only. No way he becomes available.

This was gonna be my suggestion as well. OC of the Titans is a dead end job. Why not kick the tires on Wiz?
Because he is a “Tech Man”. The kiss of death in the 4 1/2 times we have tried it in the last 51 years.

Can no longer afford this Wizard of Oz crap.
