    Via The Pipeline:


    longtime AJC writer Darryl Maxie is out. No details.

    Former UGA beat guy Chip Towers was moved from his breaking news beat (5 a.m.-1 p.m. shift) to recruiting, even though he hates it.

    Recruiting expert Mike Carvell still on preps, even though he's the best recruiting guy in the SE.

    Great business strategy: Play people out of position. Make them miserable. Make the product worse.

    Brilliance.

    That usually means they're trying to force you out. Good luck over there.

    For a newspaper on life support, they are making a fabulous effort to rip out the IV line and disconnect the oxygen tank.

    "Let's move this guy from what he does best and is known for to a shitty job he'll hate, because we can say his skills will be better-served there!"

    Morans.

    Is there a worse job than full-time recruiting coverage? You can be great at it, but you can't compete with school-specific, fanboy Web sites that serve as covert intermediaries between coach and prospect.

    Your new beat involves a bunch of indecisive 17-year-olds who lie and change their minds all the time... No thanks...

    Always considered covering recruiting a thankless job.

    Is there any other business where grown college-educated adults cater to the whims of teenagers that struggle to pass the SAT?
