Will Muschamp

Charles Kelly has done a great job with STs, so I wouldn't mind hangin on to him.

Thanks a ton, 33. I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Guys....just saying...remember re-read my last few lines of this post.

This is some speculation and some rumor STILL (in regards to the replacement coach)...its not 100% accurate yet this stuff can change hour to hour... I don't want to be raked over the coals if it doesn't happen like this.

But; everyone I have talked to in the AA and around the program has said items to this nature....

So just keep your eye out for it but don't believe it like the bible.
 
Per ESPNRadio - Gailey has been fired.

Listening to the stream, not the local trash.

Wasn't Oregon a West coast position coach?

Wasn't Mushcamp the Defenisve coordinator at LSU when they won a NC? Didn't he grow up in GA and lives 90 miles from aTL right now? doesn't he recruit GA now?

I think it's a poor comparison.

Oregon was a 'recruiter' more than anything else. I don't think Saban or Tuberville is in the business of hiring 'motivators' as their defensive coordinator.

Maybe its a poor comparison considering that he has more X's and O's experience than Orgeron (Jimbo Fisher said his schemes at LSU were mainly responsible for their NC) but he does have rep as a motivator first and tactician second (by comments on the AU boards and even the youtube video vs the Razorbacks) not that there is anything wrong with that but I just hope he has the right balance of both. I hope he isn't the Francione/Orgeron vacuum cleaner salesman type .
 
If Muschamp can bring Hatcher in as OC I would be ecstatic. As silly as this sounds, I'm not 100% sure he would leave GSU for our OC job though.

I'm about 100% sure he would NOT.

Why would a top 20 D1AA HC leave to be an OC for the same amount of money? He will leave to be an SEC or ACC HC in the next 3 years though.

That's not silly at all. You don't leave a top I-AA program for a coordinator job. You leave it for a HC job.

Yeah, a Hatcher "insider" told a friend of mine that he turned down the FSU OC job and will only accept a HC job in the future, which I find hard to beleive since nobody heard he rejected the FSU gig, but if true then he isn't leaving GSU anytime soon (unless he gets a HC offer of course).

Hatcher also turned down the La Tech HC job b/c he wouldn't have had complete say-so on who his assistants would be.

Even if that weren't the case (re: choosing assts.), I'd venture to say HC at GSU is a much better job than HC at La. Tech.
 
All I know is that if it were up to me, and I was going to gamble on a "young gun" w/ little experience, I'd go with the coach whose little experience was as a winning HC for 5 or 6 years as opposed to a 4 or 5 year DC who has never ran his own program. That's just me though. I will support whoever.

Me too. Certainly plenty of coordinator promotions work out, but I'd be more comfortable about the 1-AA to 1-A jump than the coordinator to HC jump, myself. But I won't be upset either way. DRad doesn't seem to be the type to hire someone else's sloppy seconds, so for better or worse, we'll be watching someone learn the ropes as a HC in a BCS conference. I'm willing to sacrifice experience for some energy.

agreed. but he wasn't able to make that choice. the fsu gig came up first. then la tech and rice. then, later, gsu.
 
I would not be surprised if Hatcher got offered a D-IA job this year, but I doubt that he is really looking to go anywhere because he has only been at GSU for 1 season. I think it would take a BCS HC job or a very good non-BCS job to get him to move.

Agreed. I'm afraid we'll miss the Hatcher boat.

Well DRad has ties to Muschamp from their LSU days so their is a connection there. Not sure it's a good fit for a variety of reasons though.

If he won 8 or 9 games over a few seasons he'd leave GT in a heartbeat (as would most young aspiring hcs)

Anytime you hire a good coach, you have to expect that. Is there a great coach out there that you worry won't leave Tech? Maybe we should settle for someone less because we are less fearful they will leave. That makes a lot of sense.

:ugh:

For that matter, Gailey almost left GT last year and most didn't even consider him great.
