Major coaching rumor I heard today... (Georgia Tech and Auburn)

[belcherboy]

I live down in GA, so this is what a few of the guys heard on various message boards...

Paul Johnson is retiring from Georgia Tech

Gus is leaving Auburn, and coming to Georgia Tech with Auburn paying most of his buyout.

Anyone hear anything near this crazy? This rumor was supposedly leaked from inside Tech's athletic department.

Johnson is going to retire and start his own soul food restaurant in Atlanta. And Jermaine Dupri will take over as coach of Ga-Tech

Gus could probably win at GT, but I want to know who the Auburn coach is in this scenario.

The hilarity of that would break the internet.

Watching his twitter feed right before the Iron Bowl would be awesome

I don't think anybody expects him to be down in Directional Florida for too long. Eventually, some big program will take another flier on him.

With his buyout, what could they realistically afford to pay a new coach?

I was thinking the same thing going into this season, but they took a huge step back this year. I think they were a popular choice for the G5 NY6 rep coming into the season.

I don't think he's a horrible coach, just a horrible human being.

If he took another job immediately, would he get the full buyout? Honestly don't know...

According to the OP, Auburn would pay most of his buyout. I thought it was something astronomical, like 30+ mil.

Well Paul Johnson just retired!!!

The first domino has fallen

Gus could definitely turn GT into a perennial power again.. and he doesn't have to deal w Bama, LSU, A&M all in one division. That's a good move for him honestly.

Don't forget those Mississippiiiiii......

ehhh...

Yeah, what you said.

As far as the Paul Johnson side of this, I'm relieved. He's been here 11 years and never really turned the corner on the program.

Geez, going from Auburn to Georgia Tech...Does Gus hate Georgia or something? He might as well go to Florida after GT as well, lol.

Still has to deal with Georgia every year. Only now he has to recruit the same exact areas as a failed Auburn coach.

Oh, and the ACC.

His career is over if he leaves Auburn.
