There was a moment this past offseason where Georgia almost made a mistake. Shortly after firing Mark Fox following another mediocre finish, the Bulldog brass actually offered the job to Thad Matta. Matta, a brilliant coach and good recruiter, had flamed out of Ohio State while dealing with health issues. I don’t doubt Matta’s ability to coach and scout do most of the things required of a modern day power conference coach. But the energy and effort required to build back the Georgia Bulldogs needed to go to a man like Tom Crean. A coach with boundless energy and the recruiting chops to go toe-to-toe with the sharks in Atlanta and the state of Georgia to keep more recruits home.
