AJC: Furman Bisher's Thoughts on GT's Athletic Director Search

In a recent Atlanta Journal article, Furman Bisher waxes on about the Georgia Tech AD search.

When I saw the headline, I half expected Bisher's recommended candidates to be Man-O-War, Bobby Jones and Warren Spahn.

I promise you that I've never read any article written by Bisher that didn't reference at least 3 of the following:

Bobby Dodd
Homer Rice
Bobby Jones
Horse Racing (this one has "pasture" in the lead)
Some long since dead horse, baseball player or golfer

I think Bisher's dream article involves a reference to Bobby Dodd having football practices at Georgia Tech open to the media while tying that into the Alydar vs. Affirmed races. If he could weave all of that into an article somehow trashing Bear Byrant's legacy at Alabama, he'd probably just stand up from his typewriter -- no computer for that old codger -- and retire.

If you want a more articluate view into the AD search, try GoldenTornado. And these guys will be all over it.
