In the 5 or 6 years of watching Chadwell, I've never heard a single comment of any kind about a "penchant for young women". The one NCAA compliance thing I heard was at Charleston Southern. If it's what I think it is, the only way he could've prevented that is a draconian level of attachment players that rivals that of a catholic priest, or the government.

The only thing I heard about Chadwell is when folks from Ga Southern interviewed them, they viewed him as arrogant.

I heard that too. I've also heard that for other GS candidates that were fan favorites but didn't get the job.. I could be wrong, I think what is being viewed as arrogance is his reaction to losing out to a younger dude with no experience. .. That whole thing pretty much starts and ends with the GS forum. What goes on in their forum is something akin to schizophrenia, disillusionment, and seeing what they want to see. I've since discontinued my involvement with them.

So if Battman picks Key then we should disregard his analysis and tell him who to pick?

You do realize that is exactly how Collins got the job. Whisenhunt was literally 24 hours away from signing a contract when the big money guys overruled him and made him pull the offer and hire Collins.

Let's not go down that road again, shall we? If J picks Key then I'm falling in line.

Whisenhunt would probably have been better than Collins. Marginally better, but I'll grant you he would technically be better.
There were more than two guys to look at.

I bet you didn't know clawson wanted to job last time and we rejected him. There were other options as well that some here probably know about.

It wasn't just Collins or whiz. Those were the two dumbass choices we zeroed in on for some unknown dumbass reason. But by all means, feel free to fall in line if we hire the associate head coach (now interim) that has had a direct hand in the mess we are in.

Collins and KW were the only ones I understood to be interviewed. That came from someone on the interview committee.

Let’s just say Prime does GREAT his first two years. That happens, and we are looking for a new coach the next year. Is that what we want? The worst outcome here is we need a new coach real soon. Whether it’s because they suck or they were so good they quit is irrelevant. It will be a bad position to be in.

So don’t hire Prime because he might be too successful and might leave for a better gig? I think you are more scared of Tech’s pride being hurt than any actual negative ramifications to the program even if that weee to happen. Never make a decision based upon fear.

Personally, a penchant for young women.

Professionally, a penchant for running a loose ship and letting the inmates run the asylum and also doing a ööööty job of NCAA compliance.

Never heard that & I lived not far from Chas.Southern when he was coaching there, current;y live in the Charleston area & have only heard good things about him.
Think he would be a good hire because he has done well at each place he has been. Sometimes the level of animosity towards this coach or that coach reminds me of the schism between political parties. The coach that is ultimately hired needs the full support of all GT fans.

They have zero - ZERO - chance to get "a top name previous head coach with a good record." Wake the öööö up and look around at 25000 empty seats.

This is not a good HC job. Not just in P5 but in all of FBS. No - NO - good previous HC is going to come here, with the only conceivable exception being Art Briles or someone like that who has disgraced himself to the point that he literally is never going to have any other option. And that includes Deion. And Luke Fickell . . . talk about ROTFLMFAO! Yeah, maybe we can lure Belichick to college ball while we're all visiting The Land Of Things That Will Never ööööing Happen. So please stop with that nonsense, morons.

Our best bet by far is to identify a smart, ambitious, up-and-coming, assistant WITHOUT previous Head Coaching experience who is looking for his first HC job to make his bones, and convince him to come here and do that.

Otherwise, let's go back to the 3O or drop down to FCS.

The only problem with this is the difficulty in actually hitting the mark. It’s a long shot bet.

That would make you a good little sheep

I might not know much, but I know that anyone who put his fingerprints on the CGC hire should not have one ööööing thing to do with picking our next head coach. And this is not hindsight. It was pretty clear to me and a lot of other folks from day one that CGC was over his head.

I do not like Key for our next HC. But if CGC was a 1 hire on a scale of 1 to 10 (and he was), then Key would at least be a 4. Maybe a 5.

But even if they hire another clown, I'll fall in line just like I did for CGC. Because whoever is our coach, I want him to win every game possible so long as he remains our coach.

You had me right up until that last paragraph.

Mighty bold of you to assume Prime would be interested in the job to begin with.
