BUD FOSTER APPLIED AT GT
So VaTech's longtime DC Bud Foster applied for the GT head job. Just one of many details that come out in dribs and drabs or not at all. I guess he didn't make the "final 8" or else we would have heard his name mentioned more promoninently.
EDSALL TALKING TO MICHIGAN?
Considering how many people were lukewarm about Randy Edsall coming to GT, you may find it interesting that ESPN reported that he was contacted by Michigan for their head spot to "gauge interest". He record at UConn may not jump out at you, but considering what he inherited and what he built, it really is an impressive accomplishment. Edsall is a good coach.
MORE ON PAUL JOHNSON
Here's a good story on PJ.........
JOHNSON AND HIS FIRST QB RECUIT
Here's more on Jaybo Shaw, the first recruit to commit to PJ.
RICH RODRIGUEZ TO MICHIGAN
Wow. If you thought the spread offense was a fringe scheme, think again my friends. Looks like 4-wide option football could be coming to the Wolverines. By the way, let's check out this timeline:
Steven Threet commits to Georgia Tech..... great decision
Steven Threet enrolls early to get ahead in spring ball...... great decision
Steven Threet decides to transfer to Michigan over the summer........ "bad decision"
Chan Gailey gets fired
Paul Johnson gets hired.......... Threet's bad decision becomes a great decision
Lloyd Carr retires from Michigan
Rich Rodriguez gets hired at Michigan
Steven Threet decision goes back to being a bad one again.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
What next for Mr.Threet?
MARK RICHT SPEAKS ON PJ
Here's what Mark Richt had to say about Paul Johnson:
"We don't know what he's going to do," Richt said. "He's a guy who is going to
look at his personnel and do what he thinks they can do best. He is a winner.
Everywhere he's gone, he's won. Everywhere he's gone, he's won big."
Meanwhile, Richt and Paul Hewitt and their wives were co-hosts at a "HERO for Children" banquet. Here's what they said:
Richt and Hewitt exchanged some gracious repartee.“I’m glad to be hanging around
Paul,” Richt said. “It’s not often you get to hang around a Georgia Tech guy and
enjoy it.”
Hewitt won style points for his classy comment regarding Georgia’s upcoming bowl
game: “For what it’s worth, I thought you should be playing for the championship.”
I guess when you're trying benefit childre, a little white lie doesn't hurt (wink wink nudge nudge, right Paul?).
By the way, the incident against the Gators in the endzone looks like it's aged Richt's wife just a bit.
Actually, I am only kidding. This is Richt's mom, who attended the event as well, and was looking good all dolled up......... but hey.............. we have so little to jab them about. Gotta take your shots when you can........
