Per Rivals, LB Coach Andy McCullom Heading To Ga. Tech


Not hiring Paul Johnson when we had the chance...the gift that keeps on giving.

State's defense sucked out loud last season, but by most accounts, the strength of the defensive coaching staff was McCullom. Not only was a great linebackers coach, he really helped mine the state of Georgia for talent.

Now the Pack must look to replace a talented coach and tremendous recruiter...one who now has an office down 85 in Atlanta, going head-to-head against the Pack on the recruiting trail.

  1. Surely you're not suggesting that PJ was more attractive at the time we hired TOB, right? The best case you could've made at the time was that PJ had more "upside"- but TOB was a proven name with a track record.

    IMO, O'Brien has really missed having a decent DC since he got here, since Spaz stayed behind. My biggest dissapointment this season was his refusal to fire Archer and find a decent D staff.

  2. i don't think Johnson would have been as successful here at State as he has been at Ga Tech. Ga Tech had a lot more talent when Johnson took over than State had when O Brien took over. Galley won at least 7 games every year as opposed to the low number of games Amato was winning. Further, Johnson would have had the same quarter back and running back problems here at State as O Brien did. so not getting Johnson was not a big miss unless O Brien can not rebuild State-and i feel he can. sbas2

  3. Maybe it's a mistake... maybe they're going after Andy Barbee.
