that tells me Mark Richt is interested in the GT job if it comes open. I basically told him he was full of shat, but he says Richt doesn't think Miami is the UM it used to be.

I dont buy it for a second, but I wouldn't mind seeing him on The Flats even though he did coach the nad lickers.
 
IF CPJ resigned & Mark Richt really wanted to come to Tech, which I really doubt, I would be all for it. When he was at UGA, I always wanted to beat him, but I also always thought he was a very good man and coach. I still think Georgia will regret letting him go. Kirby Smart is a great recruiter and has won many games for them, but when the Georgia fans go to bed, they think about the last seconds of the Alabama game last year & the Tech game in 2016, not to mention the LSU loss two weeks ago. They're predicted to go to the Peach Bowl this year, which is great... but probably not what they had in mind, when they hired Mr. Smart.

What are you talking about? They were doing similar stuff with Richt. That's not new.
 
I had heard he was lined up to take the Tech job in 2001 when O’Leary was interested in moving on/up. Of course O’Leary hung around another season before trying to leave for Notre Dame.

By that point Richt had already gone to UGA and we ended up with Gailey.

Is that total fiction or can anyone corroborate?
 
No thanks. Was good, not great, at UGA with a lot of tailwinds. Would be older, less effective, and with more headwinds.
 
I mean, the only way I could see it is that he likes living up this way. But nah. Besides, he is extended through 2023.

I don't believe he's a good man or a good coach. He perfected the art of doing less with more at U[sic]GA (at least at the national level - he certainly had Gailey's number). Not sure "a good man" would put up with so many off-the-field issues and general instances of punk-assery from his team, either.

There's no reason he'd want to come here, and he'd fail miserably if he did. There's plenty of coaches out there without taking U[sic]GA castoffs.

Yeah, I’m not believing it.

He’s on the retirement tour. Making a good salary and living on the beach. Why on earth would he give that up to return to our situation.

We’re going to need a young coach that wants to put in the work to rebuild.

Agree that he had a lot of advantages, but I think he was a little better than good there.
