I think that I have found the perfect candidate for UGA DC


Meet Joe Whitt, Jr.

Erk. Dooley. Dye.

The kid is only 31, but already has an unbelievable resume. Here is an excerpt from an article about him from last month:

But Whitt Jr. would eventually like to see his name on a gold plate across the head coaching door of Auburn.

The highest his father climbed at Auburn was assistant head coach, although he was retained on the staff through four head coaches.

"Auburn is where I want to be a head coach at one day. I love Auburn, now let's not get that wrong," said Whitt Jr. "But what he means to that university - he should have had the opportunity to be the defensive coordinator and the head coach."

When Whitt Sr. was offered a chance to be an assistant coach in the NFL in 1992 in Dallas and Chicago, he turned it down because he did not want to move his high school-aged son and daughter. He's now retired from coaching but serves as the school's associate athletic director.

"I learned from my dad. He's somebody I'm trying to be exactly like. He's a perfect role model," said Whitt Jr.

Here is some reading on him:

My personal fave:

In one 2007 game against Carolina, Hall committed three big penalties in a single drive, then got in a heated exchange with Petrino and assistant coach Joe Whitt Jr.

The kid is only 31, and is probably destined to be an NFL lifer, but everything that you read about him just screams that he has "it." As good as the AU/UGA coaching pipeline has been, it is hard to resist thinking about what a kid with his drive and ambition could do in Athens for 3 or 4 years.

I am going crazy researching names, so I hope we hire someone soon.
