GA Tech Fans and the Al Groh Article

First of all, I’d like to thank the Georgia Tech fans for helping give this blog one of it’s most successful Mondays in recent history.  Accordingly, it seems that my little mention of Al Groh on Vanderbilt’s “radar” has gotten around to a couple of forums, and the Tech fans are passionate about their new defensive coordinator.

However, before I read any more personal insults thrown my way on Jacket message boards, let me give you my personal opinion.

I think that there is about a 2.2456% chance that Al Groh will be the next head coach at Vanderbilt.  In comparison, I think there is probably a 4.32555346% chance that the Commodores name Philip Fulmer to be their next head football coach.  However, these names have been tossed around in the media, and since I do get tired of talking only about expansion and NCAA allegations during the offseason, then I will occasionally post rumors or items that can be classified as “water cooler” discussion from time to time. 

If there is a news article that comes across my feed and catches my attention, then I will likely post it here.  That doesn’t mean that I find it likely to happen, nor does it necessarily mean that I personally endorse everything that I post on this site.

Al Groh on the Vanderbilt Radar; Watson Brown Not Interested

According to NBC affiliate, WVIR Channel 29, one name that has surfaced as a permanent replacement for Vanderbilt’s Bobby Johnson is former Virginia coach and current defensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, Al Groh.

Groh’s name is being mentioned quite prominently, along with former Tennessee coach Philip Fulmer and former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.

Considering that Groh was just named to his current position this offseason, and the fact that Vanderbilt has already named an interim coach for the coming year, it would imply that whoever gets the job will not officially take over until after the 2010 season.

Former Vanderbilt head coach and current Tennessee Tech head coach Watson Brown, rumored as a possible candidate, has stated that he is not interested in the job.
