Paul Hewitt Is Simply Awesome.

Georgia Tech loses to Siena. His continued employment is one of the great testaments to the power of a well negotiated contract.

I don't know how he and Sidney Lowe continue to bring in big time recruits.

Sitting in the middle of Downtown Atlanta helps Hewitt. That's all I can think of.

Like you said, it's all about the contract. In 10 years, he's been over .500 in conference play exactly once.

There's not really much else to be said about Hewitt. He's just awful and everyone knows it.

Hewitt's actual job is legalized theft.

What's his contract like?

Between Lowe and Hewitt the ACC has 2 of the wqorst coaches in the land. Too bad their buddy Gaudio is no longer at Wake. That was a trio of awfulness.

Wake, GT, NCSt are lol bad.

What's his contract like?

It's a completely lopsided deal that the last AD gave him 5 or 6 years ago when Tech went to the NCAA finals.

Hewitt has an automatic rollover that ensures that he's always working with a 6 year contract. On top of that, he has a buyout clause that states that if he is terminated he is due a little over $1 million for every year left on his contact. So basically no matter when GT fires him, it will cost them $6.5 million+.

Ga Tech is in the same position that we were in with Fulmer . . . except they aren't blessed with fanatical boosters that are willing to pony up for the buyout.

Siena is arguably better than Oakland or Charlotte.

Oakland absolutely not, charlotte possibly. Kennesaw is worse than any of them.

Siena is a decent team....made the Tourney the last few years(08, 09, and 10), including 2 first round wins (Vandy in 08, Ohio St. in 09)

on a side note, I was accepted to go to Siena but ended up joining the Army

Pops is a GT alum and I grew up a fan...the past six years have been a slow developing train wreck. Now it's just hilarious.
