"The ESPN article highlights Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas (both players Johnson did not recruit)..."
Well, in fairness, Paul could not have recruited Calvin to play at Tech as he was a Detroit Lion by the time Paul took over.
"Take Johnson away and Tech isn't on the list."
Take away Babe...
I think GoldZ and SOWEGA are both correct. They are arguing " a distinction without a difference". NIL makes Tech farm team for Power guys.
Also, I am always amazed how much GT fans hate each other.
"...a team that quit..."
HG.. I do not agree... I know this is a common observation.... and, in fairness to you and everyone else who makes this statement, sometimes it looks that way...
But...
Football is a "team" game made up of eleven individual efforts.... When you are down three TDs with 2...
Playoffs only work in arithmetic progression 2-4-8-16-32-64
Unlike basketball, football teams can, physically, only play once per week.... so additional time to crown national champ is 1 week-2-3-4-5
8 team play-off seems doable with 3 extra weeks...but 8 teams just means that 2 SEC and 2 Big...
Who is this "they" of whom you write?
The NCAA is CFB-dead.... The NCAA runs a basketball tournament...other than that, nothing.
The lid on Pandora's box can never be replaced... portal and NIL is new normal...
Super conference is coming...Top 50 programs... At this time, GT (and...

As we all know, the NIL and free agency (portal) have changed college football forever. Pandora's box has been opened and cannot be closed. And, as many of you have anticipated and predicted, sometime soon (2030-ish) the FBS will fragment ...
"...the transfer portal is actually going to be a bit of a fad..."
I respectfully disagree...I think the portal is the new "normal"...over 1000 CFB players have entered the portal......
No one knows where this will lead CFB...or GT....the only thing clear is that NCAA is a dead man walking...
"...while running similar offenses defenses to what the factories run?..."
We are not Alabama...
Joe Lee Dunn died in Columbus, GA this past Oct...
“The people that win the championships throw the ball, so if you want to win, you’ve got to stop that,” Dunn said once in an interview on...
"My former coach used to say the best defense is a time consuming offense."
Just talked with Paul...he says Hi" and he agrees with your "former coach"....
Not even close....it is defense
Historically, when GT is good, we have played good (or kinda OK...) defense.
There was no "transition away from the option" required on the defensive side of the ball...
We gave up 70+ to Clemson in 20, then 100 in last two games of 21....
It is defense.....
