Coaches-In-Waiting: New Hot Thing Now a Thing Of The Past?
Published on: 22nd February, 2010
(Will Muschamp was a pioneer. Is he now the last of a dying breed?) Not unlike the Spice Girls or a bad 24-flu virus, the whirlwind-popular trend of naming a "coach in waiting"—a planned successor, if you will—might soon come to a sudden, thudding end. Not that it didn't have a good ...Lots of Moving Parts at Georgia Tech, but Al Groh Rumor Is Cause for Optimism
Published on: 8th January, 2010
(Bye-bye, Bay Bay, and Dave Wommack too. But is Al Groh on his way in?) Whoa. That about sums up the last couple of hours down on the Flats. The days after a bowl game, particularly one like the Orange Bowl, often involve a hangover period where everyone steps back to digest ...Kirby Smart Just Earned Himself a Promotion
Published on: 8th January, 2010
(See Kirby Smart run. Run, Kirby Smart, run...to the next available head coaching job.) Remember that old movie "Secret To My Success," where Michael J. Fox pretends he's a hotshot white-collar business whiz, sleeps with everybody in New York City, and somehow ends up owning a giant company? Kirby Smart just ...Orange Bowl Loss Shows Gerogia Tech Football Still Has a Long Way To Go
Published on: 6th January, 2010
(Pun intended. I know, no points for creativity for me.) Paul Johnson drew plenty of flak before this season's Georgia game when he essentially said he wanted to take Georgia Tech football to a place where one game—at that time, the Georgia game—would not matter so much in the overall judgment ...Orange Bowl Post-Game Thoughts
Published on: 6th January, 2010
(In what was probably his last game at Tech, Derrick Morgan disappointed.) Just some thoughts. Column (or columns) later on. Derrick Morgan did not show up when it mattered tonight, a disappointing end to his career. He had a couple of chances to make big plays in the second half and, instead, ...Orange Bowl Halftime Thoughts
Published on: 5th January, 2010
(Will Josh Nesbitt or any Georgia Tech player be finding the end zone tonight?) Just some thoughts, as usual. Will be back afterward. If Georgia Tech can't get physical and execute up front offensively, then this game is already over. Penalties are killing the Jackets. Chandler Anderson, of all people, ...Bad Advice, Bold Prediction and Something Else: Orange Bowl Edition
Published on: 5th January, 2010
(Will Josh Nesbitt begin 2010 better than he ended 2008?) Well folks, this is it. A season's worth of bad advice and bold predictions have all come down to this. Oh, and the actual football was important too. Tuesday night, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will strap it up for the first ...Offensive Line a Strength and a Key for Georgia Tech in Orange Bowl
Published on: 3rd January, 2010
(Cord Howard and Co. are the key to Georgia Tech's Orange Bowl success—or failure.) Offensive linemen are football's favorite forgotten men. Fullbacks were really hip, then the spread offense made them disappear like witness protection. Tight ends have become too prolific to be obsolete. (Thanks, Shannon Sharpe.) No, offensive linemen are nameless, unimportant, ...Memo to DanRad: Time to Lock Paul Johnson Down
Published on: 26th December, 2009
(It is again time to pull out the checkbook, Dan Radakovich, this time for good) Hey folks. Still trying to get over the Urban Meyer announcement, which frankly, has me floored. But it also means the coaching carousel will again spin, and the big man on the Flats will again be the ...Why the Big Ten Is in a Really Tough Spot for Expansion
Published on: 16th December, 2009
One of the worst kept secrets in all college football was made official Tuesday when the Big Ten finally admitted what coaches had been gleefully insinuating for years: The conference is looking to increase its number by one more team. This has been rumored for months, if not years, and even ...Featured Sponsors
