Chadwell isn't proven at D1/P5 and we haven't seen anything from COASTAL CAROLINA to take that chance. He's decent where he is and that's all we know. A solid NO. Same for Prime Time.

Paul Johnson wasn't proven P5 either and he took GT to 2 OB, an ACC title, and had more success than most since Bobby Dodd. So to poo poo Jamey Chadwell, is the same attitude that led us to Clown Collins. Open your mind!

Cpj had 4 fcs natties (2 has hc, 2 as oc) and he rebuilt navy. So, about as much proof of success outside of p5 as you can realistically have.
 
Thank god people who actually want Deion Sanders as a head football coach aren’t in charge of anything

My question from the other end of this is what proven successful p5 coach can we actually get? From what I've seen, the only p5 coaches we'd be able to get right now are ones that were booted out of p5 schools, not exactly something to build a lot of confidence out of.
Unless this sort of idea includes successful p5 coordinators that are now head coaches at not p5 schools, though I'm not sure who that list is right now.

It all depends on why they were let go
 
Chadwell is an offensive mind yea, but his team is still giving up 400+ yards on defense on average. Not saying he wouldn't be a great hire, just something that worries me a bit. Also having never been on a P5 staff gives me anxiety.

Georgia Tech football is a seller in a buyer's market. We would need to sell - hard - anyone we would really want. Not the other way around. Close to the old joke that I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member.

Whoever interviews needs to be asked one question: Why do you want to coach Georgia Tech's football team? And unless he's an alum (and maybe even if he is an alum), there's really only one response I want to hear. "I'm hungry to win a bunch of games at Tech amd use this job as a stepping stone to an even bigger job."

So no retreads like Mullen, Muschamp, Mendenhall, Frost, Chryst, etc. (even if any of these guys wanted to come here anyway which I doubt). We need to hit lightning in a bottle with an up-and-comer assistant who has never had a Power 5 head coaching position. Preferably not a G5 HC position, either. All those guys either flamed out elsewhere, or if successful they're already going to be looking for something better than GT. Alternatively, maybe we could hire a total rehab project like Art Briles.


My ideal hire would be Garrett Riley, if we could possibly tempt him with his first HC opportunity. Is that a reach . . . maybe?

Next up would be Corey Dennis.

Other guys I would try to hire include Morgan Scalley, Kenny Dillingham, Kendal Briles. Maybe Liam Cohen.

Corey Dennis hasnt even called a college play. I like the stotryline but damn that be a huge risk.

I think your reservations about Deion and Xs and Os has merit. But when you look at the body of his work thus far. Saying he would likely do worse than what we have now has little merit if any.
I still think his upside is enormous. Definitely worth a gamble and that gamble has little risk with where we are right now. It’s Prime Time baby.

If sanders is hired and if he seemingly lays an egg almost right off the bat what mood will the checkwriters and the relatively few fans we have now be in for another try at keeping this afloat?
 
I really don't have one I would pick. But if I was the AD there is only one question I would want to know. in the interview I would want to know who he wanted to hire as his coordinators and assistant coaches, then look at their records and make sure they would come. Maybe I'm a funny person but I see the coordinators and assistant coaches as being more important as they are the ones who do the coaching. I would not want a head coach to coach the offense or the defense, I want him the look over the whole team not pick one part.
 
I think Deion would be a quick way to turn the team around. However; with that said, I also think he has a lower ceiling, than other coaches. Not to mention, I think GT would be nothing more than a jump point for him. I think he would last maybe 2-3 years before a bigger, more wealthy program came calling. So, I have some reservations where Deion is concerned. I think Chadwell is a safer pick, but not sure he will bring the turnaround that we desperately want, quick enough. I don't know. The transfer portal can make/break team in a single season, nowadays. With the NIL and portal, college football is really messy.

It's Chadwell for me. Love Prime Time but we need a legit x's/o's coach and that's Chadwell. Prime wouldn't stay at Tech long anyway. Chadwell would.

What makes you think Chadwell would stay at Tech a long time. Not sure the way college football is today you can count on anyone a long time.
I guess the question would be what do you call a long time?

Just call it a hunch but if he was moderately successful at Tech, we could entice him to stay as long as we stay committed to winning and expanding our program to new heights. I know that's the glass half full perspective but give J Batt's hire and what he is doing so far, I think it would be a good marriage. We'll see. This is all speculation.
