I've been reading off on on for week the coaching search gossip and will admit I have never seen anything like it. They have people on Genespage tracking planes. Heck I would not be surprised if they had spies staked at GB's house monitoring his every move.
That being said I just hope we get a young coach who has an established reputation as a winner, is an offensive genius, and is flexible. Tommy Tubberville would not be a bad hire as that he is an established winner and knows how to win but will he come here...I don't think so...I think he's going to take some time off and focus on his family. He is a millionaire now. Derek Dooley-Hmmm he might come here...His father is a legendary SEC coach and he might be holding out for GA but I think Richt won't be going anywhere for a while. He is very well liked here in GA where I live. The Ga Tech coach I am very surprised his name has not been mentioned won't come as that Tech is already talking about sweetening his contract. Chris Peterson...don't think so but it would be nice...Haven't seen Hal Mumme's name mentioned but wouldn't mind seeing him here...His teams were fun to watch while he was at KY...Fulmer...HECK NO... He's a has been and burnt out...NO THANK YOU. I even heard Lou Holtz name..Another NO THANK YOU... The new coach needs to be a young upstart coach with a thirst for winning.
We've got a sweet home schedule next fall which includes Florida, Ga Tech, AL, and OM... With a new coach at the helm season ticket sales should escalate and the stadium full at least for the first few home games. I'm already looking forward to the 2009 season.
