wanted: head coach that can differentiate between "success" and "not failure"

This was the headline I was hoping to read when I got up this morning.

I had to wait until lunchtime, but still, it's pretty good.

Tech is halfway to becoming a southern football school...they've shown that they're willing to fire a winning coach who can't beat a main rival.

The other half...getting, adequately compensating, and most importantly--retaining--a coach that can take the program to the next level will be much, much more difficult. Perhaps even highly unlikely.

But still, mediocrity at $1 million a year should not be tolerated. They did the right thing. I just doubt whether they're going to do any better the next time around.
