What is Gene Chizik up to these days?Rekdiver wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 11:35 amAgreed. With Drink being at Auburn and Boise.... check the D coaches he worked with there.HighlandsApp wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 11:27 amSince Collins has already let the entire GT staff go, I don't think that there would be a reason to wait to announce until after a bowl game if the hire was coming from that staff.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
That’s right. Base operations in Charlotte....wonder if he has an “itch” to get back into football. Surely Drink knows him having worked on his staff.

I think that he took the time off to watch his son play high school football. Not sure that he is done but he would be a thought get with our budget.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 2:05 pmThat’s right.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Regardless, we said we are waiting until the bowl game to announce the hire.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
It’s not Roof. He makes zero sense. He is a Co DC at a P5 making more than we can pay him. Plus he doesn’t run a 3-4.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
I was thinking along these lines. DJ worked under Woody before he left for GT.ericsaid wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 9:02 amSomeone here stated that the Defensive Coordinator would want to hire their own staff so no more defensive assistant hired would be made until the DC position was filled.
Two guys were retained who previously coached under Woody as defensive position coaches. If it wasn't Woody, I'd believe that these positions would've stayed open. Even had Woody not already been here, he would still be one of the more qualified guys that App could get.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Chizik is a 4-3, Cover 2 aficionado. All he's ever run. Would be a TERRIBLE fit for App's personnel, and the G5 in general.
If he even had any interest in getting back into coaching, which he doesn't appear to have.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Is it that he is not very good, or is it that he doesn’t stay around long enough anywhere to establish continuity?

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Roof's compensation as #10 of 10 coaches at WolfieU is less than half of what he made at GaTech. Coach D has the $ to hire Roof--hopefully he also has the good judgment not to go there!
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
Was he fired at Tech? The buyout, if any might be the reason for the low salary at State. Don’t know.

He was at Duke long enough for me to realize that he stinks.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 4:16 pmIs it that he is not very good, or is it that he doesn’t stay around long enough anywhere to establish continuity?

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
It's both. He doesn't stay anywhere very long. He's a sincere guy, but he's become like a journeyman relief pitcher in MLB whose arm is worn out and he can no longer find the strike zone. Free agent for hire.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 4:16 pmIs it that he is not very good, or is it that he doesn’t stay around long enough anywhere to establish continuity?

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
He was fired at Auburn and his D’s were mostly terrible. Pretty sure he was strongly encouraged to seek other employment by Johnson at GT as well.asu66 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 4:27 pmIt's both.

Re: Coach Drink Staff Thread
I have 2 friends who aren’t connected at State and 3 friends who aren’t connected at App. All have told me they’ve heard it’s roof. I don’t know their sources, but when 5 people who don’t know each other are all telling me one thing, logic says that it’s Roof.
