Hurrican Willie Updates

Willie Martinez is no Bill Young--and by that I mean it is unlikely Mark Richt would want to be his own DC, a la Randy Shannon. If CWM departs, someone has to replace him. Chip Towers warns Dawg fans to be careful what they wish for:

This is a man that is very well respected. He’s produced three All-America DBs at UGA and is about to have his 10th drafted into the NFL. He has played and coached the game at a very high level. A South Florida guy, he starred at Hollywood Hills High in Coral Gables and helped win a national championship as a defensive back at Miami in 1983. He has all those Florida connections and recruits that area hard — and well — for the Bulldogs. And for all the criticism of this past season, it truly was his only bad season. They were ranked in the top 20 in yardage and scoring his first three seasons. As it was they were 22nd and 54th, respectively, this season.

As of around noon, the Athens Banner-Herald reported there is no change in status. Miami still has not contacted UGA about talking to CWM, and messages for CWM were unreturned.

Who has two thumbs and does not rush...to return phone calls?
