Please don’t hire a legacy coach

There was a lot of excitement when the hire of Todd Stansbury as the athletic director was announced, and rightfully so. He’s done a great job thus far, and I have full confidence in him moving forward. That being said, a lot of the excitement at the time of his hire was due to the fact that he was a Georgia Tech alum. He was at Tech, where he played linebacker, in the early 1980s.

Now with the head coach position open, there are some talks of former Tech players being up for the job, with the main one being current Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt.
