But, it wouldn't be a parody. <BR/><BR/>goldentornado,<BR/><BR/>I am envious of your situation. Keeping Tenuta is an absolute must, in my opinion. That combination would be truly awesome. I can't believe that's up in the air. I thought I remembered hearing that the administration was undecided but I think I was mistaken. It looks like Tenuta is actually seeking out alternatives before making a decision. Ga. Tech will be competitive right away but I think within three years, it'll rule the ACC. Congratulations! You can return the favor by being envious of Michigan when it hires Brady Hoke in two weeks...or not.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-66877594526681038422007-12-12T16:19:00.000-05:002007-12-12T16:19:00.000-05:00Thanks from a diehard Ramblin Wreck for the many c...Thanks from a diehard Ramblin Wreck for the many cogent and well-written articles on Paul Johnson. With GSU alums in my family I've followed him and coveted his services for a long time and you can imagine how ecstatic I am to have him at Tech. It is not every day that your alma mater hires your absolute, #1, top-of-the-list dream coach. <BR/><BR/>Johnson is more responsible than anyone else for Georgia Southern's dominance as the 900 pound gorilla of D1AA. He's also proven he can win consistently with markedly inferior talent at a school that makes GT look like an NFL franchise. His recruiting connections in Georgia and the Southeast are unparralleled, resembling Tressell's in Ohio and the Midwest. <BR/><BR/>GT has put together great seasons occasionally but this is the first time I've ever felt confident we could be a national force annually in modern college football. And if we somehow retain Tenuta on top of the hire, I will be rendered speechless with football bliss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-417733305447322352007-12-09T12:02:00.000-05:002007-12-09T12:02:00.000-05:00Great piece!

I am in total agreement that this entire search "process" has been a fiasco from day one.<BR/><BR/>It's been known that Carr was contemplating retirement for sometime. Any halfway competent AD would've sat down for a few hours MONTHS ago and drawn up a list of candidates. Feelers could've been sent out through third parties.<BR/><BR/>It's become very clear that this AD has hugely overestimated it's competence in this search. They would've been FAR better off hiring a professional search firm.<BR/><BR/>I'm also getting annoyed with the constant stream of unfounded accusations against some of the candidates. If a guy really is that dirty or has committed multiple NCAA violations there must be public, credible reports available somewhere. Nope. Just a constant stream of "Oooh! Oooh! The guy is dirty!" type insinuations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
