Interesting but I disagree with the guy who wrote that it was "...100% about Pitt" not being prepared, ready to play, reading their press clippings, etc. Yes, that did play a part and Coach Pat looked stunned at how poorly his boys played but for anyone who has watched this team the last three...
That may be why he is not getting said "respect" and more "touches". Football is a team sport. Want to be the "Man" at running back? Move the pile like Hasan did in the fourth quarter and block someone in passing situations. Want respect? Earn it.
Perhaps those more knowledgeable can comment but how did Coach Key and his staff completely change the character of this team in just a few days? It was almost as if a whole new set of players were playing but it was largely the same guys. The key play (see what I did) in my view was the run...
Don't know, UNC is explosive but is not as physical as Pitt. You are probably right. A ranked Coastal team is such a rarity and damn if Tech didn't go and put that out the window. I thought Miami was loaded but they are doing what Miami does best...playing down to the level of opponents and...
I never thought I would see the day that a Pat Narduczzi (spelling) team blink in a eyeball to eyeball matchup. Three turnovers and 75 yards in penalties will get a lot of teams beat even with over 300 yards passing.
The offensive line still needs a lot of work but "heart and want to" are good foundations to build a successful football team. After all the drama of the last 4 years, I don't think we can ask for more than what these players and coaches delivered tonight.
We beat a ranked FBS team and our team wanted it more. It was just that simple. Jeff Sims showed that he could lead this team and Charley Thomas was a difference maker. Good job gentlemen. Very impressive effort and fine coaching job by Coach Key and his staff. There will be jaws dropping...
Looks like my stock portfolio...choppy. I am somewhat surprised that only three times has Tech been below the .400 standard since World War II and surprised that Curry's teams were below that standard just one year and that the much maligned Pepper was never below that standard. Although...
Getting our butts kicked at the end of last year 0-100 and the spectacle this year of having four punts blocked has done more the tarnish the image of the school with the national media than just about anything the Hill does.
You are probably right. It is just that I always thought the SOP was for the coach to address the team in a final farewell gesture. The midseason firing of Tommy Bowden by Clemson back in 2009 (?) was a similarly bad scene with players complaining in the South Carolina media. IIWII.
There is nothing "yellow" about the cash that guy has. Auburn goes though football coaches the way I used to eat peanut M&Ms. One after another according to the whims of Yellowood and company.
Damn time flies doesn't it? Why it was just yesterday, seemingly, when Prime Time was flying a helicopter from the Braves game to the Falcon game or was it the other way around? You are right, 55 is time to make serious money from the next set of bigger fools.
If he did not leave "gracefully", that would indicate to my way of thinking that he was still thinking he could turn this "Titanic" around after it had already hit the iceberg. Surely, he was not that oblivious to what was going on around him? Or, was he?
I don't think he is being serious. That said a prospective candidate will want to kick the tires on this deal before agreeing to come here. In just about every way this shapes up to be a ticklish situation for a new coach.
Powerhouse arch rival in complete control of the state? check...
This may be true but the manner in which he was dismissed, escorted to his car, not allowed to see his players etc. is not the way to handle this situation. UNLESS, there was a bad scene of some kind.
The "big donors" that would complain about Coach Johnson with expletives loaded diatribes should be feeling real good about themselves. They could have given Coach Johnson the level of support that was given Collins but in the petty manner of those with lots of money they petulantly refused to...
