A. he has only been at GT for 2 short years...although i feel 2 to 3 more years here he could be a big winner....He has just not been here long enough nd had the success to warrant a look..
B. He has DEEP DEEP ties to Dan Reeves and it this would virtually eliminate him...
I posted a week or so back that This (The firing of Reeves) happened at the best time for GT...If it happened 2 to 3 years from now With Reeves retiring ...By then Gailey would have probably had us Back to National prominence and had great success here and we would have stood a chance of losing him...The Falcons job i believe is the ONLY one he would even consider..He wants to stay in this State and retire...
I think the great thing for GT fans is that this New Coach hire with the Falcons has a Great chance of working out...i mean an Avg. Coach WILL succeed with the Falcons with a HEALTHY Michael Vick....Reeves would still be here if Vick had not gone down....imho...
And for GT fans we would have one of our own....Now that Rankin doesn't own the team anymore i dont think being a coach at GT would bother Blank...The Smith Family were HUGE ugag fans...They interviewed Ross before they hired Reeves and He didnt really have a chance with the Smith's....
I believe Blank to be a shrewd businessman that will try and hire the BEST available coach....
