Here is the bottom line,

Chan will not be the head coach at GT next year regardless of the outcome of the UGAG game.Dan Radakovich will not go thru another tumultuous season with the fanbase in helter skelter. The Tech ticket product isnt an easy sell in good times, it will be the same set of circumstances come next year if there is no change made and it would just mean putting off the inevitable another year. He will not be the head coach at GT when this season ends.
 
No, the bottom line is that UGAy and everyone associated with it can burn in hell. HATE!
 
No one will come to GT if we fire an 8-4 possibly 9-4 coach who beat UGA and made a ACCCG appearance and has never had a losing season. NO ONE.

Sure they would. Michigan just did it, and by all accounts they've had much, much better seasons than us recently. Just having a winning record in football doesn't mean anything, because most of the teams you play suck, so you have to look closer than just the records.
 
I'm waiting too,at 7 figures...

We're not a factory, we're a very, very hard school with high entrance requirements, high flunkout rate, and very limited degree programs.

If a new hire performs less than Gailey, DRad has hung himself. I don't think he's dumb enough to do that.

That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard in my life. Guess what, we had all that stuff 17 years ago too. Hell, we had it last year when we were clearly one of the better teams in the nation, talent wise.

This is silly. First of all there is no such thing as a team that someone doesn't want to coach. I don't care what the situation is or what happened to the previous coach. I mean, how many guys have replaced their mentors/best friends when they were fired?

The issue for us in replacing Chan, if we do, is making a good choice from the guys we talk with.

No, there's an extremely key difference. Michigan just lost to tOSU and the question is whether Gailey is fired with a UGA win. While Carr might have still retired if he beat tOSU, it would be very, very hard to fire Gailey after beating UGA.

On another note, I noticed that Michigan had 8 first downs and 91 yards of offense against tOSU. I must say that's pretty pathetic.
 
Also, Michigan is a powerhouse with many degree programs in which to hide football players. I'm sure that there are more than 3 guys who would happily take a Tech paycheck. The question is do they have what it takes to succeed with our new expectation that you win 8+ games/year and vie for the conference championship every other year? My guess is that they won't and I will call out each and every one of you who smuggly suggested that a change in coaching is all we needed.

We have beat one team w/ a winning record this year! Put it in perspective!

This is a very salient point. It would be interesting to see Chan's record against "winning" teams during his tenure here on the flats. Does anyone have a good link to a site with "FBS" results for the last 6 years?

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I'm certainly not guaranteeing a new coach will immediately have a better record than Chan. In fact, I'm pretty sure we'll have some trouble next year no matter who the coach is due the losses we're going to suffer to graduation.

But the real problem I see is your statement about our "new" expectation of vieing for the conference championship every other year. You mean you don't expect to win 8+ games and be a factor in the conference race? Why not? Was Braine really right about Tech and Tech fans? Do we not expect to win? To me, that's the saddest part of all of this. It seems we've reached a place where losing to ugag is okay if we play them close? Or where being middle of the road in the conference is where we think we should be?

Actually I don't think there are many coaches who would take a job if you explained it to them that way. You know, win more than you lose, play the good teams tough, make a minor bowl game. Most coaches expect to win and expect to compete for championsihps.
 
I have it from good authority in the AA that Tech is not all that much harder than many other schools. After I read the email from my friend, I said well there goes another excuse out the window. How many have we had now?

Granted it may be harder to stay at Tech because of academics but then again no school be it Army, Michigan, UCLA etc just lets you slide through!

Yep! And we had all that stuff in 1960
 
Poorly informed post..........

I have spoken with two coaches at Duke who formerly coach at on several occasions about recruiting for GT vs other schools.

Both told me that Tech requires more high school math credits that UGA, Clemson, Auburn, Alabama, etc which immediately eliminates a number of prospects. Additionally, Duke grants more admissions exceptions than GT did. They also told me once you get them in to Duke you do not have to worry about them flunking out because there are major like Afro American studies that you can't flunk.

I also can go down the UGAG roster and tick off about 1/2 the players they have that we could not recruit.
