Tom Crean to be next Georgia coach / 6 year 3.2 Million annually

Recommended Posts

I was discussing this with the site manager, and he couldn't believe Crean is the second highest paid coach in the SEC.  Also said "someone texted me UofE was looking at him and I about wrecked my car on the way in, thought I'd have to go home and change my shirt".

Seems like a perfect fit. After all, Atlanta is the world headquarters for Coca-Cola.  He'll have diet coke and dasani anytime he wants it.

But will Coca-Cola allow him to dump that brown crap into their Dasani water?

I wish him well. I think he's a good guy and tried his best, but it wasn't good enough and he deservedly got fired.

I have a hard time seeing him succeed consistently at Georgia....or anyplace, but fully expect some big upsets and a good season occasionally.

I agree.  He talks a good game so I am sure the die hard, good ole boy football backers will buy in for a while.  I lived in the Augusta/Athens area for several years.  They are big time live or die SEC football crazies in that area and that is all that matter to them.

Good to see him get another gig. He deserves another shot somewhere with expectations that aren’t as high as IU. Fans there should be pleased with what he ought to be able to do there. Now watch Georgia turn into a defensive monster....how messed up would that be?! Haha 
I could care less to be honest. He is not our coach and that's all that matters.

I cannot believe they paid him that much. They could of gotten somebody just as good for half that.

Late to the game in responding to this, but just wanted to join the chorus of voices that have stated how happy they are for CTC.  I think a situation like UGA is PREFECT for him.  I'm definitely surprised at the annual salary, thought.  Would not have expected them to pony up that kind of cash.

 

Hope he does very well there, except when they square off against Auburn!

They can, it's just the frequency thing may be less desirable. He had one team in 9 that competed (got to FF) at Marquette and 1 team in 9 that had a good chance at IU. We flopped against Syracuse but up until late Feb we were the best team in the land.

So once every nine years he seems to have a team competing for national championships.

What do you expect him to say "we'll be mediocre mostly, punctuated by really bad defense!"
