[bobbythekidd]

Where's BVG?As I stated before, he would not be interested because they do not have traditions to trash or expectations to not live up to.

Georgia State should go after former Alabama Head Football Coach Mike Dubose, Dan Reeves, Ray Goff and Mickey andrews.

This article (http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/cfb/entries/2008/04/17/how_georgia_sta.html) says the Georgia State should look to get out of the CAA and into the Southern Conference.

where are they going to play?

[NYJMUSupporter]

I think the southern conference is a more natural fit, but I believe the CAA really wants to get more exposure in the south. I think they want to get into as many big tv markets as possible.

I believe that when Georgia State was starting to set up the program, they hired Dan Reeves to do it but he stated that he wasn't going to be the coach.

I do not see Garner leaving UGA for that job. He has a great thing going in Athens. It would be very little glamor going on over there for awhile. He has a few spotlight years ahead of him at UGA, or so they say.

True, but I figured he might want to get the job so he could resign a couple of weeks later.........xwhistlex

Georgia State needs to go after a coach that will have instant in-state name recognition. While all of the choices listed by the AJC article would probably be good on the field coaches and recruiters, it can't be discounted that Georgia State needs a coach that can draw interest to the program and that can also sell it in the time between now and the players actually taking the field.

Erk Russell was absolutely perfect for that bill at Georgia Southern. There's not another Erk out there. Reeves would fit the bill, but if he truly wanted the job the announcement the other day would have also announced him as the head coach. He might eventually be the guy, and announcing later would give them another press bump, but would he be downplaying the idea so much if he wanted the job?

As good of a coach as Dan Reeves is, he's never coached college football, so he'd have to have a staff with a strong college background just for recruiting alone. Not to mention it's a totally different mentality in all aspects coaching college kids compared to pros.
