Tony Elliott: Tech Never Called

Ed Sawyer said:
And ... now y'all know why some of us are pissed with how this went down. The fix was in from about October. It was always going to be Collins. There was no job search. The Whisenhunt trial balloon was just to get everybody worked up over an obviously bad hire, so that when they announced it was Collins it would be seen as a "good" choice rather than the hire of a retread NFL coach.

This is an interesting thought--possible.

I think there are probably two schools CGC would move to upwards of Georgia Tech, and if you show him enough love and positive energy he won't even do that. I think Elliot would have 20 schools on his upward mobility list.

Out of curiosity, which two schools?

Elliot not contacted by GT?

Good. We got the right man, so why contact?

Elliot will either fail hard in his first job, succeed wildly, or be somewhere in the middle.

We don't want a coach to fail hard. We shouldn't want a middlin' coach. And if Elliot succeeds wildly he will absolutely use GT as a stepping stone and be gone. So we don't want any of that.

CGC's roots in Atlanta and GT run deep. His grandmother freakin' idolized Bobby Cremins. Cremins was a relentless recruiter that loved his kids. (He once ate newspaper print just to show his players he loved them. No, I can't explain it either, but it was what it was.) You don't think CGC does not want to be the football Bobby Cremins? It is like Cremins was CGC's template, but with better technology.

I think there are probably two schools CGC would move to upwards of Georgia Tech, and if you show him enough love and positive energy he won't even do that. I think Elliot would have 20 schools on his upward mobility list.

If CGC turns out to be the Bobby Cremins of our football program, I would be extremely satisfied.
