GT has won at least 7 games for 10 years in a row. We fired CG for winning only 7 games/yr and not beating UGAy.

Which head coach can win 8 games/year against Freigen, Richt, Beamer, Groh, Grobe, Tommy Bowden, Bobby Bowden, Butch Davis, Tom O'Brien?

Muschamp - POSITIVES: firey, went to Darlington, good experience as a DC at LSU and Awbun, could recruit GA well

NEGATIVES: No HC experience, UGAy grad (which is divisive), a DC rather than an OC, a real gamble as to if he could win 8 games/yr and beat UGAy

Hatcher - POSITIVES: wide open offense, OC, been a HC, from GA, could recruit GA well

NEGATIVES: Div 1-A HC for only 1 year; a moderate gamble as to if he could win 8 games a year and beat UGAy.

P. Johnson - POSITIVES: An OC, many years as a HC, won NC at GA Sou, turned Navy around and won there, recruited with very real restrictions, could recruit GA well, probably could win 8 games/year and beat UGAy (question is how often)

NEGATIVES: has run a triple option at Navy, not very exciting speaker, can he develop a qb?

My personal opinion is that WM is a far left field choice. There have been many a coordinator with potential and few succeed.

Hatcher is a risk but an acceptable one.

Johnson is the best option of the three to succeed. He's done it before a bunch.

The complaint might be why we didn't look at other candidates but not that we chose PJ form this group, IMO...
 
Hatcher: div 1-aa* for only 1 year.

why don't we play GSU instead of Samford and JSU?
 
Why doesn't GT play GSU instread of those Ohio Valley Conference schools? Does AppState/Michigan ring a bell? GSU has been trying to schedule GT for years, but GT hasn't wanted to take the chance.

B/c playing GSU has the chance of turning into this years Appalachian State. Samford is so terrible that no matter what happens we will beat them hands down. Hell even pussy ball hung 69 points on them this year.
