Tech’s perfect coach
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dan Radakovich was careful today not to hem himself in when describing Georgia Tech’s next football coach.
Head coaching experience? Not necessary, Radakovich said.
Offensive specialist? Not necessarily, he said.
Young? Well, Radakovich couldn’t legally say that, and he is way too sharp to make that kind of mistake.
Tech man? “Not necessarily. I wasn’t.”
Here’s my prediction. Tech’s next coach won’t be 50-something. He could be 30-something. He will be high-energy not just in work habits but in outward appearance, dedicated to winning games with offense as well as defense. He will be the kind of person who can not only recruit talented high school football players but make college graduates who hear him speak wish they could play for him, too.
Dull won’t do. Winning alone won’t do. But God help him if he hasn’t won eight games by the end of his third season.
