Suddes gone....

[BrentwoodJacket]

The guy honestly has to be trying to screw things up this much. I don't understand how bad decision makers get this far in their careers.

They become AD's at Tech. We now have three AD's that should be in the bad AD hall of shame.

 

[The Champ]

We had the opportunity to do that also and match or up UNC's offer but declined to do so. So I've heard.

Wow. Can’t believe we arent handing out raises and promotions after 9 wins in 3 years.

Another sign of the disfunction in the AA. The whole thing needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from scratch.

The last gasp, the death rattles, of a dying man

Suddes is way more than just the social media gif guy. Folks that think this isn't a big deal are clueless. He is as big a part of our recruiting (if not bigger) than Collins. This is all on TStan.

So you’re saying if Suddes was not our recruiting guru then the latest class would have been ranked something like 65th, last in P5? He did turn in a barnburner 53 this year so he was beating someone it appears. Must have been Dook, Wake, Cuse, Vandy, Kansas, ASU and some other PAC teams nobody gives a crap about. He’s got that going for him.

He didn’t have an on field role. He was a main grocery shopper, not a cook and he was highly regarded in the industry.

I’ll say he seemed to do a good job with what he was dealing with. He had a big hand in bringing in some good classes but the on field results made his job exponentially harder.

Yea. He was a ~$200K administrative assistant; the GM of a football program that is a total clusteröööö. Like our head coach, he did nothing to help us perform on the field. I can’t believe we didn’t make him an associate Athletic Director and bump his pay to preserve the continuity of this high-performing staff.

 

[MACHETE]

No need. If this doesn't turn around and Collins is canned, TStan gets canned with him.

Like, duh!

Says who? Who or which group calls for that axe to drop? Genuinely interested.

 

[RussianOffense]

When is Caralla going to leave

You really think the guys who are leaving for better jobs are to blame and not the ones we fired who are struggling to find lower level jobs?

 

[00Burdell]

I was of the opinion that Suddes and Collins were tight. How is it that we just let him walk out the door?

I remember a thread from years ago where several posters were salivating over the idea of Todd Stansbury as our AD. We are now officially ööööed. I was more confident in 1981 then I am now.

Collins will be here through the end of next season. Any reason TStan should still have a job tomorrow?

[Flywheel]

TStan should have seen this from 1,000 miles away. It's not too late to rip off the bandaid.

I didn’t say they were to blame. I said that when your program is a total dumpster fire it doesn’t make sense to hand out raises and promotions.

The current staff is the largest in GT history, and the highest paid. And their performance has been the worst of my lifetime.

Why were we paying a admin $200K anyway? Maybe we should have used that money to hire a competent OC or DC. Instead we’ve blown money on receptionists, admins, brand managers, hype guys, social media editors,etc. We’ve invested very little in on field performance, and it shows.

I think this is a pretty bad take. Highest paid staff in GT history, even if true, is still bargain basement for P5. You need both the on-field coaches and recruiting infrastructure in today's game. PJ's offensive wizardry covered up just how far behind we had fallen.

 

[GT65_UGA89]

Man oh man, so after Mr Waffle is handed his suitcase full of $$$ and shown the door at the end of next season, how many years is it going to take Tech to get back to respectability? We play in the freakin’ ACC Coastal ffs.

Yea, we don’t have money. Yet we spend all our money on shiny off field objects. Thus we are 9-26 on the field
