Last word on the Louisville coordinator hires goes to Robert Weintraub, who delivers this gem:
In this climate, even Kevin Ramsey, who was so incompetent as UGA defensive coordinator in 1999 that he allegedly was relieved of his duties at halftime of the bowl game and subsequently supposedly punched out Bulldogs head coach Jim Donnan, could land a new gig (with a higher salary, natch) within 48 hours.
I hear ‘ya.

I’ve always heard the halftime hiring was at the 99 Auburn game, but yeah, his point is well taken. Apparently failure doesn’t cling to people the way it used to.

“As a straight trade, it’s roughly comparable to swapping George McClellan for Ulysses S. Grant”. Wow. That’s gotta sting for Grantham.

Back in those days it was a barrel old buddy. About a 3 gallon barrel.

Was that Joe Kines who took over in that bowl?

Yep that’s what I read. Kines had previously been the DC and was still on staff.

I don’t know who your boss is but I am formally requesting a raise for you. Doesn’t matter… you just deserve one. Don’t let him make me take a vote here on GTP… cause Ima double the request if he does.

I already did that. Then I queered the deal by asking to be HBIW with the ability to hire my own assistants with their money so they put me back in solitary

The ’99 defense wasn’t as bad on a points/game allowed basis as Grantham’s final squad. Yikes.

Ramsey was eating fried chicken in the booth during games. That was in his incentive clause.

That incentive clause was so finger licking good, you’ll have to pick your teeth (or pick up your teeth) afterwards. I can’t wait until he goes Mike Locksley on Todd Graham
