Realistic coaching options for 2025...

[311neers]

Any potential for Buster Faulkner, OC at Georgia Tech? Has been involved with a lot of successful offenses around the Southeast at very different levels of CFB and still only 43. Not sure how antsy he would be to get a HC job if a bigger school like UGA would pay more to have him on staff as OC.

He’s due for a much larger gig. Maybe 5 years ago it could have had legs.

I'm holding out hope for an SEC coordinator, and yes we can afford one, many make less than Clark did. I want someone with experience at the highest level of college football who is hungry for more. I've said before I think the OC from Tennessee has a high probability of being a good HC but there are others I would take as well.

Hopefully DG isn't using the Cabin to think about coaches. Granted, .... he should, because this is the Yosef Brain Trust.

The staff found out per twitter/X through Pete Thamel. - No coincidence in Pete Thamel releasing this tweet and DG/JR walking into the NEZ right before 2pm. DG is very calculated.

The players met with DG/JR/Sears at 2pm

A closed door meeting happened before 2pm with the GM of the program - most likely was given a temporary juicy contract for 45 days to keep recruiting class and players around.

Also earlier in the day apparently one NIL contact was meeting with players offering deals without knowing #TeamClark (Sad day for Shawn and family and his staff and their families) was being let go.

Not sure when Clark was told of the news, I would assume his agent was contacted and broke it to him, and most likely told him not to go into work or contact anyone based on small print in the buyout.

Interviews for the job will most likely start this week per zoom, then 4/5 will meet in CLT hotel with DG and his posse.

Very doubtful anyone comes to Boone until contract is signed and press conference is set, I am guessing by Dec 17 a coach will be named, therefore everyone can have a Merry Christmas.

Great time to be a High Country Real Estate agent!

Who are JR and Sears?

JR is an oil tycoon in Texas. Poor guy got shot once.

Sue Ellen did it!

It wasn't Sue Ellen, it was her sister Kristin.

My thoughts with SEC coordinators, is if they are good, the SEC teams will fight hard to keep them, and just give them a pay bump.

We can’t compete with top SEC asst coach salary.

The OC from Tenn makes 850k annually and that includes everything for him. I keep having to point these types of things out. Yes, we can afford some of the SEC coordinators. If we can't manage to shell out 1 mil or 1.1 mil a year for a HC then it's going to be hard to compete in the sunbelt let alone the rest of the top G5 and P4.

Yeah I was only six when it happened, so my memory is fuzzy.

This is why I have no business throwing out names to be considered. I only knew one of the folks on this list.

Like where? Georgia Tech went 7-5... I don't exactly see him getting a P5 job based off his merits. Which leads me to my next point that yes, I hope Faulkner gets a call. He is clearly a part of a good staff that's doing a solid job at a pretty tough place. Watching their game Saturday night, their ball-control offense with a tough ass QB who's not afraid to tote the rock. If you squint hard enough you can draw some comparisons to some of the better offenses we have had over the years. I have no clue if Faulkner would entertain this opening or not, but he definitely has the type of resume I hope we look into.

Satterfield made his money and returns home ?

I have thought about that a number of times. I wouldn’t have a problem with that happening.

Casey Woods from SMU would be interesting indeed.

You can’t go home again…

Are we sure Satterfield isn't also a victim of all things NIL and transfer portal? I wouldn't oppose his return, but you'd be a fool to think he can do exactly what he did his first stint here and get the same results. Things have changed drastically, and we can't say he's proven he's adapted yet.

I just think we need to try one of these young, up-and-coming, energetic types who will attack the portal with a purpose.

I'm ready for someone who isn't part of the App ecosystem. It all feels tired.

I want someone who can bring fresh eyes, energy, and a new perspective to the program.

I agree completely and actually said pretty much the same thing in another thread that mentioned Satt. Succeeding pre NIL and portal is no guarantee that a coach can succeed now. That said I still wouldn’t have a problem giving him a chance.

That offense is dialed, I loved watching it. 90% of UGA fans want Bobo out and Faulkner in as OC after that game. He’s already making $1M at Tech, would have to assume if Georgia might take a peep at him for an OC role then we can’t afford him. By all means, we should try him and Hartley but they’d probably wait for a bigger gig- both excellent offensive minds and recruiters.
