I'm just excited that there's some new blood in the building.
Doing away with the good old boy system can work wonders for a program.

I agree, new blood and a new perspective will be best for us.

Hard to be part of any "good ol' boy system" when that's the case. His problem just seemed to be that he didn't have enough energy to combat the mediocrity we had sunk into in some of the olympic sports.

who is very familiar with GT left this response on Buddybook to a post of mine questioning the hire:
Took them from a 9M debt to profitable in less than 2 years. And he actually understands marketing the athletics program to the alums and local area. Tough job at GT, but less so at Clemson. But I still contend that our marketing efforts at Clemson are paltry.
I've got to agree that we could use better marketing.

Compare them to Miami, two college teams in NFL cities. Georgia Tech is much more relevant.

I'd bet a lot of money the GT AD already has a solid relationship with Dabo and Jack. That's a win in a lot of ways.
Still, I don't know enough about him to be very excited one way or another.

The way I heard the story was the NCAA was on campus and interviewing some player about an extra suit (no joke) and they told DR not to tell Paul Johnson. So the NCAA basically said that GT wasn't cooperative.
I'd say he did the right thing. A coach deserves to know why his players are being investigated. I'd tell the NCAA to pound sand in that situation as well.

Not sure how I feel about hiring a guy who was uncooperative with the NCAA, no matter how silly the investigation seemed. I do like facility upgrades though, and new blood may be a good thing. I liked TDP except for destroying the swim team for women's freakin golf

I wouldn't say he was uncooperative

I'd say the NCAA asked him to do something unreasonable. If I'm the AD and the NCAA came on campus to investigate one of our players but not tell my head coach about it, I'd tell them that they were fools. I'd call my head coach with the NCAA guys there and tell him "make so-and-so available to the NCAA, but this is what they are on campus looking at."
A coach deserves to know that his players are being interviewed by the NCAA.

Actually I will love him as long as he brings the Grant Field clock operator, That man is a true genius. I have never seen a man wring more time out of a clock when his team is behind and driving, or lose more time for an opponent when they are driving, in the last few minutes.
