OriginalCane: I'm not sure we disagree as much as you think. You mention how one coach can't do it all. I agree. That's part of my point. 1 guy isn't going to fix it. We need more resources devoted if we want to compete. Otherwise, we'll stay in same cycle of hiring and firing.

Agreed. Has the wave of money that has entered into CFB made us a thing of the past? Can we compete with top dogs for championships? I hate to be gloom and doom, but it doesn't look good.

Right. If we could just get on a roll. But Richt's heart wasn't in it and his OL recruiting was a terrible failure. And now we're here. Manny ought to be kicking himself over FIU, Duke, La Tech. We were 6-4 on a 3 game win streak. If we close the season with 2 wins, that could have been a...

Since Butch, we've hired Coker, Shannon, Golden, Richt and Manny. Each has failed. We've also had during that same time period how many ADs? (Eichorst, Hocutt, Paul Dee, James.) So hiring and firing isn't the solution IMO.

I'm not sure about this. More salary for the coaching staff may be lipstick on a pig. That looks good to the outside world. Blake can show the fans he's trying. Are we in-line with the big programs in terms of a nutritional staff? Athletic trainers? Academic support staff? The stuff people...

Yup. Everyone wants this done yesterday but I think this is a situation that takes some time. I'd love for all the decision-makers to sit down and see if this can grow organically as opposed to forcing a situation that may not play out the way many think it would.

And that changes what? The BOT hires another puppet AD. And we hire another head coach set up to fail.

But why hire a nanny for Manny? Then fire him and hire someone that doesn't need someone to hold his hand.

But the question is, how do you create/define that role without stepping on the coach's toes?

First, yes, tl:dr. I need to vent. Sorry. This is a cluster* on so many levels. First, everyone thinks hiring Alonzo is a no-brainer. It’s not. Why? Because we have no idea precisely what type of role Alonzo envisions. Think about it. If—and again if because I have no idea—Alonzo wants a role...
