Is that a good thing?

 

[coit]

So he likely knows Brent Key a bit from his time there.

Seems to be a lot of positive reactions to it.

I hope he and Saban are close. What a final chapter to his legacy - come to Atlanta and turn Georgia Tech into the nation’s number one football power.

 

[JRJacket]

From Davis…

 

[RamblinWreck92]

He's a guy who's used to winning and bigtime athletics. Looks like a good hire to me.

Is hiring a guy named "J" just a knee jerk reaction to getting rid of a guy that misspelled "Geoff"?

His first name isn't J. That's just his first initial. Any guess on his name? I assume it's an Indian name that Americans would butcher.

Why would you think it’s Indian?

Looks like his first name is Jason.

Obvious candidate: Doug Gillin

We want Bama hire: J Batt (what's his first name, though)

A wise, but risky hire: Jon Gilbert

You heard it here first.

 

[MatatoGT]

Top assistant from a program that’s doing it well, looks like a strong move to me.
