Chip Long - New OC

[gtchief]

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”

You have to admit there's at least a little variety in there. Everyone else is the same old broken record "coaches suck coaches suck coaches suck" yet no one bats an eye

Godsey owns GT’s season passing record, career completion percentage and several others. He was 6th in the nation his Jr year before he got injured. Goose was a winner. You’d probably prefer Matt “Choke Artist” Stafford or some other buttsniffer hero like that.

As a sophomore Goose went 5/13 for 57 yards 0 TD's and 1 INT.

You would have called for his head.

If there is more discipline, better offensive production, better player development and ... most importantly ... more points and more wins, then is is a good hire. Judge performance by results.

OTOH ... this guy could end up that Italian bastard who won a ticket on the Titanic.

LOL. He had better luck on the USS Alabama.

 

[eneq]

Yes

To be fair, I was first

 

[BuzzinWreck78]

I consider this a big upgrade.

he does have a decent head of hair so he isn't walking around with a dead rat on top of his head while sporting a Kim Jong Un hair cut,
so theres that .... still a 2-10 guy from Tulane so its bargain basement shopping, probably a leg up from P'nut.

He hasn’t lived thru a year of Gefoff yet.

 

[GTFLETCH]

Anyone know why he left Notre Dame?

He was fired. Decent production...except in games where it mattered.

This is a horribly unimaginative hire.

To give how unwanted Chip Long is on the national level, after ND, he did not get a job as an OC. He became an analyst for Tennessee. Under Pruitt. Then, he was hired as OC for Tulane. And their offense was not good. They went 2-10.

This just helps confirm that TStan and Collins will be gone next year. Maybe after the first 4 games.

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

Here's a pretty good throw.

Who would you have hired? Serious question. I have thought about it and could not come up with anyone.

Generally, I avoid trashing/praising hiring choices until they’ve had a chance to show me something at their new job.

a new head coach………and let them hire a new coaching staff

 

[StraightFresh]

According to Reddit, he's a cerebral/clever type, sounds like we're buying the dip getting him post-Notre Dame at Tulane. I think this is the sort of hire we should be making.

TOP 12 to replace Geoff Collins:

1. Jamey Chadwell, age 44, Currently the head football coach at Coastal Carolina (They are 9-2 this year) Annual salary: $850,000. Despite his young age, he has been a head coach in college for 12 seasons (at 4 different schools). Total Head Coaching Record: 88-44.

2. Shawn Clark, age 46, Currently the head football coach at Appalachian State (They are currently 9-2 this year) Annual salary: N/A. He has only been a head coach for 2 full seasons and coached App. State in a bowl game in '19, which they won. Total Head Coaching Record:19-5

3. Chris Klieman, age 54, Currently the head football coach at Kansas State (They are currently 7-4) Annual salary: $3.1 Million. He won 4 National Titles at North Dakota State. Total Head Coaching Record: 91-28.

4. Kalen DeBoer, age 47, Currently the head football coach at Fresno State (They are currently 8-3) Annual salary: $N/A. He coached Sioux Falls to 3 NAIA Championships. Total Head Coaching Record: 78-9

5. Billy Napier, age 42, Currently the head football coach at Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (They are currently 10-1) Annual salary: N/A. He coached at Clemson, under Dabo, for several years. He grew up in Chatsworth, GA and his father was a head football coach. Total Head Coaching Record: 38-12

6. Hugh Freeze, age 52, Currently the head football coach at Liberty (They are currently 7-4) Annual salary: 3 Million. The drawback to him is he was involved in recruiting violations while at Ole Miss. Total Head Coaching Record: 67-42.

7. Dave Doeren, age 50, Currently the head football coach at NC. State (They are currently 8-3) Annual salary: 3.2 Million. Total Head Coaching Record: 86-53

8. Jeff Traylor, age 53, Currently the head coach at UTSA (They are currently 11-0) Annual salary: N/A. He only has two years of head coaching experience, however. Total Head Coaching Record: 18-5

The worst thing about this hire is it pretty much destroys all hope that we’d fire Gefoff.

Not sure why anyone was still holding on to hope of that. TStan acknowledging he'd be back and three assistants being fired after the season were pretty good indicators that he'd be back.

 

[coit]

To be fair, I was first

Yeah I pasted them in the wrong order, but I was lazy and didn’t fix it.

Dang, that's not sounding good, however sometimes new opportunities bring good fortune for Coaches needing a change!

Our coach sucks. I wasn’t optimistic but was hoping our AD would get smart
