OC Replacement Thread

[smokey_wasp]

Probably doesn't (see saban) but I was really hoping we could get away from the Tech guy theme and branch out a little. He could do wonders here, I suppose.

Tech/O'Leary/UCF guys is all TStan knows, apparently. I'd give this a chance if it happens, but my initial reaction is "meh".

Godsey is one of few Tech connected people I'd be happy with us hiring.

At this rate we’ll have burned through all our idols

Zach Kittley - Western Kentucky
Ryan Grubb - Fresno State
Willy Korn - Coastal Carolina
Frank Ponce - App State
Andrew Sowder - Kent State
Matt Mumme - Nevada
Bryant Vencent - UAB

Some of the "out of the box" names that intrigue me and I don't see listed much.

Grey Goose and orange juice will be fun at tailgates.

ööööing hell, we're really going to do the "Tech man" thing, aren't we? Every other program that's tried the nostalgia coaching hire BS has had it blow up in their faces. Not good, guys, not good.

It'd be cool if any coach who wants the job could put in for it, then we talk to them and look at their records and pick the best person.

There’s something about this. Hiring a Tech man is nostalgic and nice for December to August, but we won’t care about his pedigree come September.

Our inbred enemies to the east would beg to differ.

The Goose would bring in the Friedgen offense. I am 100% behind this move.

And guess what…that means we’d run the option 3-5 times per game to keep our opponents on their toes, thus appeasing our divided fan base.

Godsey hasn’t been running the Friedgen offense in his coaching career

If he ever has to make a basketball hire, the search process is going to be a sheet of paper with the names Craig Neal and Mark Price, and a google search of "GT alums who coach basketball."

In the NFL? Ya don’t say????

So we're banking on him running an offense that he's never run as a coach, and one that's unique to a guy who hasn't coached here in over 20 years?

Please explain what the ‘Friedgen’ offense is, and what has Godsey been running during his career?

I’m banking on the Goose’s smarts to do it. If I’m wrong then I’ll apologize.

 

[TechAKnee]

Only stingtalk would complain about hiring a current NFL OC. I’d be thrilled with the hire.

I mean I certainly hope so, but I think he's another guy who falls into the camp of 'if he wasn't a Tech man, no one would consider him an attractive candidate for the job.'
