  1. Coach Brent Key Scenario

    I don’t think Key has a chance at the HC just based on the struggles of the OL and offense in general. However, I’ve always thought there was more talent on the team than the performance, so if he can change the attitude, confidence, and work ethic in practice, he can set the next coach up for...
  2. God we needed that. (POSTGAME THREAD GT 26 - PITT 21)

    That was fun. Outstanding defense minus the last 3 minutes. Even though the offense struggled, we ran enough plays to wear Pitt down in the 4th. Charlie Thomas is awesome but kudos to the D in the first half without him. Good for key switching kickers. I think Jude can do it but so much has...
  3. It’s ugly, but I noticed some good things.

    I’ve been pretty patient with the coaching staff but I see no positives. I don’t expect Geoff to last the weekend.
  4. Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    I think several of our players that got picked up were good athletes. I’d definitely sign riq even if it meant he was a special teams player. I don’t think riq and Thomas’s skill sets were best utilized as a tandem at safety. I don’t know if it was coaching, communication, the players (I’m...
  5. “First Eight”, “or” positions, and “and” positions.

    In general this is a year that Collins recruits and transfers have to step up. Hopefully our top 8 includes some names who haven’t played a lot of minutes. Our secondary can improve by avoiding busted coverages without more individual talent.
  6. Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    I recall a tweet along those lines but can’t remember if it was specifically toward one coach or not. I always felt like there were other factors beyond his skills during recruitment.
  7. Adonicas Sanders has entered the transfer portal

    Outside of Gibbs, I can’t think of an impact player that we’ve lost to the portal. We’ve lost a couple players that played minutes but I’m not sure they are irreplaceable or really change the outlook of the team. Adonicas played solid for us but we need the young receivers to step up and be an...
  8. Why is Thacker still employed?

    I’m not connected to the program, but some of my friends who have a little more info just said Collins wanted him and he knows how Collins likes to run his defenses.
  9. Have we filled all of our coaching vacancies yet?

    The Weishan rumor I was told came true so hopefully the QB search rumor comes true as well. Nothing I can substantiate right now though.
  10. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    I agree, the size of the OL had been addressed by CPJ. The remaining depth and talent is more debatable and health hasn’t been Tech’s friend on the OL. I think the biggest issue in the transition currently is we should have upper class men from the 2018/2019 classes this year but it’s unlikely...
  11. Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

    I agree with others it depends on how the OL transfers help. Gibbs was a special player but the lack of OL play hurt more than just Gibbs performance. Our offensive output can improve greatly with improvement at every position besides running back.
  12. Long term analytics trends on GT Football

    This doesn’t surprise me. O’Leary took over at the bottom and had nationally recognized teams. Gailey had good teams but couldn’t get over the hump and get that signature win or season (mainly cause he was unable to develop stellar QB play) so he has a perception of under performing. Johnson had...
  13. Throwing on First Down

    Eventually we will have to throw with our current offense on first down so that we aren’t predictable or we aren’t going to always pick up positive yards. The offense needs to get to the point where picking up 10 yards with 2 downs isn’t an overwhelming task. With that said positive plays on...
  14. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    That was the only game I watched this year and would have rather had tech’s secondary. 458 yds passing given up on 29 attempts. It was a very entertaining game to watch
  15. Quez Jackson Declares for the Draft

    He’s a big loss. Some of the younger guys like Tyson Meiguez and Franks need to be ready to step in with Tatum, Eley, and Thomas. Outside of Tatum and Eley, our LBs are on the light side so hopefully another year helps.
