He's a great hire for y'all
He's from Conyers, has worked in the South (and at GT as a recruiter) at big schools
I think y'all got a really good one, unfortunately
Good I want to see GT be good again
Wille had FSU in it for a lot of big time recruits, but you can't be playing like trash and expect these 4 and 5 stars kids to want to come play for you. And I don't know why people are clowning for him offering all these different OL got to get some decent OL in Tally I don't care where they come from.

Meh, you right. Kyler is a great player too, really whoever wins the Heisman this year wouldn't be the wrong choice. Tua, Kyler, and Haskins are all great.

Can't wait to see Georgia Tech running something other than the Triple Option, something that hasn't been seen since the Reggie Ball days.
I know GT is a prestigious academic institution but I wonder if they can eventually take Georgia recruits away from UGA and Auburn.

He ain’t got the hype behind him and he’s not in the playoffs
He ain’t got the hype cause espn. Playoffs don’t matter, he a 1 loss Conference Champ just like Kyler.

No, because them classes are hard as shyt, and it’s not a bunch of majors to hide your not so well to do athletes in, they have a better location than any school in that state, right there on Peachtree street but academics will always hamstring gtech

I think being in the playoffs this time matters if you all were in, i think Haskins would be a shoe in
Not buying the playoff angle because up until OU actually got in, it was supposedly between OU and Ohio St for that last spot. Haskins in big games played better than Kyler imo. Not taking anything away from Kyler cause he definitely did he thing. Not even really mad if him or Tua win it, they both deserving. Kills me how the media made it a 2 man race.

UCF AD: 'Deserve better' than Gators' 2-for-1 offer
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida Gators athletic director Scott Stricklin would welcome a two-for-one series against in-state opponent UCF, which has college football's longest winning streak at 25.
"I'd be OK with scheduling them in the right situation," Stricklin said Friday during a Peach Bowl event at Florida Field.
Florida and Central Florida last played in 2006, a 42-0 victory in the Swamp by the eventual national champion Gators. The teams had been scheduled to play again the following season, but UCF got out of the game and ended up paying a $100,000 buyout, according to documents released through a public-records request.
Stricklin said he and UCF athletic director Danny White have not spoken about scheduling a game.
"We haven't had a spot where we thought this made sense at this point," Stricklin said.
White, after seeing Stricklin's comments Friday, issued a statement saying he looked forward to trying to schedule a game with the Gators.
"I'm encouraged to hear that UF is open to the idea of playing us in football," White said in the statement, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "Since I've been here, it had been made clear to me there wasn't much hope of that. Our scheduling philosophy has been transparent since I arrived at UCF -- that we're open to a home-and-home series with any nonconference Power 6 opponent.
"Top-10 programs don't schedule two-for-one series where the balance is not in their favor. Our growing fan base and our student-athletes deserve better than that."
The American Athletic Conference, of which UCF is a member, has been pushing the "Power 6" brand all season. The current Power 5 is comprised of the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12.
Many outsiders believed the 10th-ranked Gators (9-3) and No. 7 Knights (12-0) would meet in a bowl game this season, possibly in the Peach or Fiesta. But Florida ended up facing Michigan in the Peach, and UCF will play LSU in the Fiesta.
If the schools were to play in the future, Stricklin said it likely would need to be a two-for-one series. Florida agreed to play USF in a similar setup, with two games at Florida Field (2022, 2025) and one at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium (2023).
White has made it clear he would prefer to schedule home-and-home series with Power 5 opponents because the school generates more revenue from a home game than it would from playing a payday game on the road.
"We do home-and-homes with like FSUs and Power 5 leagues," Stricklin said. "We haven't done any home-and-homes with non-Power 5 teams. I don't think we would start that.
"But I'd love to schedule [UCF] in a game."
Stricklin laughed off accusations that he worked behind the scenes -- he's a member of the College Football Playoff selection committee -- to prevent Florida from playing UCF in a New Year's Six bowl because the Gators had more to lose than gain in a potential in-state matchup.
"If you win the game, it counts one win," Stricklin said. "If you lose the game, it counts one loss. When I was at Mississippi State, they said don't play Southern Miss. We played Southern Miss. They had the same argument.
"To me, South Florida, you could say the same thing and we're not hiding."
Stricklin had to leave the room when the committee scheduled the Peach and Fiesta bowl matchups.
"People don't know. They give me a lot of credit," Stricklin said. "I have more power than I realize, according to them. People are going to say things when they don't know what they're talking about and that's what happening there."
