J Batt Thread

[GoGATech]

Everybody has a price. Rumor is we're gonna see what Graham Neff's is.

Someone needs to sweet talk Elon (the person, not school) into GT football and space research being his new things. He swings a few billion our way and we dominate CFB.

Wouldn't he just run it into the ground?

*** The rest of college football, GT would be fine.


Also, this thread is old news. It is no longer a rumor. He's gone.

 

[MACHETE]

We will be fine. Everybody chill the fcuk out.

Current MSU prez Guskiewicz just left UNC in the last year to take over MSU. Some would say he was pushed out, but nonetheless, seems like the probable connection with Batt being UNC alum.

I wish J Batt the same success Doug Weaver had when he left Sparty for us.

Who said we aren't going to be fine?

Debatable. Get me in the interview room and we’ll see.

Overrated. He should've been summarily fired when he sold out the Georgia game to MBS.

He hired Stoudamire who is struggling, and Key who was not actually a hire but a retention. He's supposedly good with the money but money comes from success more than anything.

And we still don't have grass.

Really sold it to Ticketmaster

it’s over

This is nothing more than a resume move for Batt. He won’t be fired. He’ll be there about 2 years and a SEC school will come calling. …

Like South Carolina?

“He’s supposedly good with money”
“He should’ve been fired when he accepted $10M for the uga game at MBS”

Remember, J Batt tried to hire the Tulane coach (bad idea) before going with Brent Key. How has Stoudamire worked out so far?

The one thing I don't know if J Batt is equipped to do (make the right hire) is perhaps the most important part of an AD's job. If the right replacement hire is made, this is all peachy.

I'd be more concerned if Cabrera was leaving.

Yeah... I'm not sure what the hand wringing is all about.

Given the previous near departure and now this, he obviously has been shopping for a new destination for some time.

Fund raising is important. He did a good job at that. Key was selected by Tech not J. Batt. Alumni and power brokers with $$$ made that decision.

I can't thing of anything else in particular he has stood out at. The basketball program is still in the shitter. Hopefully that changes but I'm not optimistic.

I'm confident he can be replaced with someone as good or better. My vote is for Paul Johnson.
