Robotic Woman knows your next head coach

I turned on my tablet, a Kindle Fire, to a cheery message that said, "Alexa is on your Kindle!" It explained that Alexa is the Amazon version of Siri. Not a big deal by this time. But it insisted I "try it by holding down the home button and asking, 'What is the weather.'" I did that, and Alexa's quasi-feminine voice told me Atlanta's weather. Then I tried it on other questions--easy questions--and she said things like, "Hmm, I don't understand that one." Fine. Great stuff, Amazon.

Then I tried, "Who is the Georgia Tech football coach," and Alexa quickly replied, "The Georgia Tech football coach is Mike MacIntyre." Even had his picture and a link. MacIntyre is the Colorado football coach, but I noticed he played football for and earned his degree from . . . Georgia Tech, in '88. I checked his record; he had a couple typical Colorado losing seasons until this year, when he is 8-2. Maybe earning his step up.

I'm thinking Alexa may know something. Is Johnson going somewhere? Colorado isn't a well-loved school around here, but this direction makes a certain amount of sense. At least until I asked Alexa who Georgia's football coach is, and it told me it was Mike Ekeler. He was a defensive coach from last year who left with the old staff, and has never head coached anywhere. So much for the screenplay for "The cheap consumer tablet that foretold the future." Thus you just wasted your time reading this thread. But I'm a dwag, it's not like you didn't already hate my guts, right?

Does she say the President elect is Jim Gilmore?

Just asked my Amazon Echo the question: "Alexa, who is the Georgia Tech football coach?" Answer: "The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football coach is Mike McIntyre." WTF!?

Pretty sure that asking women about football is how UGA ended up with Kirby Smart.
 
Just typed "who is the georgia tech football coach?" into Google, literally comes up with this:

Eat shit and die you piece of shit dwag. We'll see who your next coach is after Larry Culpepper drops three in a row to Johnson.

öööö you. And yeah don't forget to die.
 
I'm not a ST cool kid, but I give the OP a +1. I thought the story was kind of interesting. GT related, combined current technology issues with some humor, etc. Wouldn't take much to spin a Black Murror episode out of this.

Don't be so hard on yourself, I think you're a pretty cool kid.

This was my point. But I only posted it because it's interesting to me that the #12 team is being coached by a Tech grad. You guys probably knew that and I missed it. McIntyre did start at Vandy but transferred to GT, got his degree there, and has moved slowly up the ladder. I don't think Johnson's in any trouble for the time being, but this guy could be one to watch.

Die.
 
Bohannon is a dawg and as a result is disqualified in perpetuity. McIntyre might get the gig when CPJ decides it's time to call it a day.

Go Jackets!
