    He would probably make a good HC somewhere (not here because we are an offense school, but somewhere like Southern Miss).

    Let's put the "Coach in waiting" tag on him.......Love that he is thought of as a great recruiter.

    This hire seems to be a big deal in the national news. We seem to be getting some good pub. But a lot of it is "wow his stock has fallen" kind of deal.

    Poor Isabella. He probably thought he had a day off. Now he has to write a Tech story.

    Honestly - bigger name than I thought we could get...

    He has a chance to reclaim himself here - even a top 75 defense is a huge step up for us after the last two years

    This is a better hire than the Holtz hire.

    Solid hire. But if Diaz's defense can't score points for us, we are still in serious trouble.

    Any concerns that he just got fired and the game has passed him by?
