Interview process a farce.....

[gatorbuzz]

On the flip side, Hatcher is an unknown in that he's never been a coordinator or HC at a D1 school. How will he handle the increased work load?

chris was basically doing the OC work at UK before leaving for HC at VSU. Mumme offered to give him the official title of OC to keep him at UK. But Chris wanted to be a HC.

Come on now

Understand that in the interviews the coaches have to present who the staff will be and have to have proof that they can get those guys to be with them. They have to have all their plans in order for the future and present themselves as the next coach, meaning they had to do some homework before interviewing. Muschamp wasn't unofficially hired, the interviews took place to seek the best candidate.

The board still has to approve of a hiring, something that hasn't taken place yet.

Dan is going to hire who he feels is right to bring GT to a championship level.

i have no problem with him having a favorite. don't most of us? I think Jimbo was easily the fav for the last year and would have been hired in JAN if Chan had left then.

I don't think any of us have a clue who would do best though I do think Tenuta knows GT better than Muschamp so he would ahve a big advantage there.

If we used a search firm and have guys actually being interviewed then Drad will have pressure to hire what the consensus is the top choice.

DRAD prob had WM as his favorite and perhaps that has been endorsed by others. My gut is will muschamp will be a very good coach. Whether he was Drad's favorite two weeks ago has no bearing on my opinion of him nor the selection.

OC at a DIV1A program at the ripe age of 25/26...sounds like a prodigy to me.

If Drad knew he wanted Muschamp from the get-go, he should have said so, hired him quickly, and been willing to take the flak like the AD at A&M took for a quick hire.

 

[BarrelORum]

There are now some rumblings that Will Muschamp was actually unofficially hired (just by DRad's word) a couple weeks prior to the UGA game and had already started calling prospective assistants.

Not saying this is substantiated fact...just saying that this appears a possible scenario. These other interviews are to try and bring credibility to the hire.

This is complete bull sh*t. First those rumblings are by one poster on the Hive and haven't been substantiated by anyone with any credibility. Don't you think there would be some big time alumni who were donating to the "Buy CG out fund" that would have known this and put their foot down?

No offense, but this sounds like a bunch of sour apples from people who want their guy in there as opposed to Muschamp. If DRAd hires Muschamp, then everyone needs to suck it up and support it despite how you feel.

Personally, I like the idea of a coach who would come in and be instantly hated by the UGA faithful. They would hate him more than Spurrier. Any coach that would be hated that much by UGA would be ok with me.

Besides, its not like the guy isn't qualified. He's consistently had top 10 defenses year in and year out. He is young, energetic, knows recruiting the southeast, and is a defensive whiz. Given the right staff this guy could be a huge homerun ball for GT.

Lets get behind whoever is hired and be glad that we are not under Gailey's leadership any longer.

That's what has made me so upset, that is pure BS, bringing in these other well qualified candidates and saying they didn't interview as good as the young doggie.

Have an agenda do you? What makes you think that actually happened? Just because a random poster said it?

if I were a real candidate I would also do some contacting to see who I might get as assistants,if I got negative reactions then it may affect my decision IF I was offered the job

 

[1gtfan]

If true, my opinion of Drad is a little different than last monday, when he fired CCG.

I liked Drad and never dreamed he would go with the one candidate that would divide our fanbase and the youngest most unproven candidate at that.

Well, I guess we will see, if he takes that Lsu AD job afterall.

Hmmm...any coincidence that you threw us this bone and now BeeBad is claiming that WM will be presented to the board today or tomorrow?

:blahblah:

Were you a fly on the wall?

Looks like you're a major candidate for a buzzoff membership.

GEETEELEE,

Funny thing is, I supported Gailey for the first few years, because of his experience and what he was dealt with Flunkgate exct. Gailey was fired 2 years too late,imho. but I supported him. Never once visited the jerks over at Buzzoff .

All the progress in recruiting exct. the past few years and we are ready to turn the keys over to this guy?

But your unsubstantiated rants sound exactly like what the BO jerks were saying from the day Gailey's hire was announced. They wouldn't shutup and wound up being banned and started up a board dedicated to Gailey's firing.

If DRad thinks this is an upgrade, I have NOTHING to dispute it. If you do, please tell us.

Muschamp's Defense vs. UGA

2003 = 10
2004 = 45
2006 = 37
2007 = 46

Tenuta's Deffense (Last 4 Meetings)

2004 = 19
2005 = 14
2006 = 15
2007 = 31

I know that people are going to bring up turnovers as an issue when looking at Muschamp's stats. AU turned the ball over 4 times each game the last two meetings with UGA. GT turned the ball over 3 times in each of the past 2 meetings. Turnovers do not account for the difference.

Muschamp's defense at Auburn also has surrendered more yards per play (6.8) to UGA than any other defense that has played them over that period including the scrub out conference teams that they play.

 

[floridajacket]

Tenuta, BTW, has had no, or virtually no, recruiting responsibilities while at Tech. Muschamp, on the other hand, was apparently well known for getting the players now juniors and seniors at LSU.

what about a DC and his x's and o's translates into the ability to be a good head coach. To me, the qualities that make you a head coach are not easily interpolated to your coordination skills.

There are a crap load of bad HC's that were considered gurus on their side of the ball.
Dave Wannstedt
Bob Davie
Charlie Weiss (not sold on him)
Cam Cameron
Norv Turner
Dick Jaraun
John Bunting
Chuck Amato
Ed Orgeron


Point is....they don't interpolate and you can't make judgement based on these little meaningless stats. A good HC has to have other qualities outside of just pure x's and o's and secondly, your stats don't show the turnover story, special teams story, and stuff not defensive related.

This is way too short sighted to draw any conclusions.

Congrats, you just won the Broken Record Shut Up award.

I think you are greatly underestimating UGA's hatred for Spurrier.

I find it highly doubtful that Tenuta had ZERO recruiting responsibilities when so many good players have come to play for him.
