Is GB our coach in waiting? I don't think I've ever seen anything in print to that effect. I think he could be a very good head coach-- but I greatly fear the program will take a big step backwards once Corrigan leaves/retires without the right hire.


If Gerry Bryne is successor for Corrigan if and when

KC leaves, I think GB could be a very effective head coach, particularly if he's paired with an effective and dedicated offensive coach.

If other candidates were to come in (and one hired), it would be great to pair the two together, much like the defensive coordinator at Va Tech was kept when Beamer moved on....

One problem with that

Is that Byrne is only about 2-3 years younger than Corrigan. If Corrigan leaves for the Virginia job now, then slapping a "coach in waiting" tag on Byrne is appropriate. If not, well . . .

For that matter, if Byrne has head coaching aspirations, I see him leaving in the very near future unless Corrigan takes the Virginia job.
