Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
I just posted this on the recruiting board when talking about the same thing. UGA hired Mark Hocke in December as their S&C coach and he was a Bama/Cochran protégé.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
I'd like to see us keep CSC. I like his enthusiasm on the sidelines and obviously his leadership in the weight room has shown to be of great value.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
I was there...Dubose the coach (couldn't find a practice field the day before the game in Nashville I understand). It was freezing cold and we got hammered. I think it was the beginning of VT success in fact.

Here is his bio from UGA. Looks very interesting to me.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
I was there too, and I remember Bama fans, myself included, mocking VT before the game asking, "What's a Hokie?" We found out that night that a turkey can be pretty mean.
I believe you are correct in that it launched them onto a national stage even though they beat one of the worst Bama teams ever fielded.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Cochran seems to have his own tree developing. :biggrin:
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
That's been out a while. My question has been that, if Hocke is doing the job, why put Cochran in on top of him, providing he's willing to walk away from his TRSA pension. There's a possibility that he could "buy" his last year in the pension system here. Their rules are arcane and I don't pretend to know them all...
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
No, VaTech was already successful. They started having winning records and going to bowl games in the early-to-mid 90's.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
No direct knowledge, but if friendship is in play it could really be that simple. Smart brings in a very qualified friend to run the S&C program, even with it already in great hands. Cut Hocke loose or give him the choice of staying under Cochran.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
oh, not saying they were unsuccessful just that they were a relatively unknown commodity in these parts at the time. I was expecting a mauling and that is exactly what happened except we were the ones getting chewed up. It was just like Moon said - all the VT players looked like studs...better than us. I was like, "who are these guys?" Anyway, we got killed in the freezing rain and snow...miserable.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Maybe it could be that simple, maybe not. Hocke had been the real main man doing the "heavy lifting" (pardon the pun) in our S&C program, with Cochran being "director" for while anyway...
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Last night crimsonaudio or runtheoption mentioned Hoke "IF" there is a change in the S&C department. I hope we show Cochran the love and hope that extra year to get vested pays off for us. By any means necessary!:biggrin::BigA:

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
He can "buy" time in to the system if he has time in another state system (which he probably does) or military time. However, I "think" bought time only applies towards your eligibility for retirement and not your vested date. I could be wrong though.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
^^^^This. I don't even know who he replaced when he came here.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
No, just googled and it was Rocky Colburn. Colburn replaced Kent Johnston who replaced Ben Pollard. TJ Sr. was the S&C under DuBose.
Terry Jones Sr?

Cecil Hurt on the radio says Cochran makes $400,000 per year. If Georgia offers him $500,000, Bama might well bump the pay to $600,000. Sounds good to me.

Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
Military time towards retirement, not vestment is my understanding. Had a guy retire early due to Air Force time.
Re: Who replaces Scott Cochran
But I would guess if yea yea yea is gone, Dillman would get an internal promotion.
For some reason I believe TJ Sr and Rocky are still on staff in some capacity or they were....I may be wrong, but it seems like at one time they were S/C for other sports teams at Bama after Coach hired Cochran.
