Good idea...until you fail to gain a first down on your side of the 50 a few times, then it gets sticky in the post game press conferences.

Kelly Campbell is the receiver whose name escaped me. My apologies to Mr. Campbell who was a tremendous target for Joe Hamilton and a fine compliment for Dez White.

I agree with all of this except the part about Coach O'Leary. Ralph's genius was in developing an offense suited for Joe Hamilton's unique talent set and one that incorporated bits and pieces of several different schemes including the wishbone. It was remarkable. A couple of things I read...

What I want...is to win football games like we did under Coach Johnson and the much lamented triple option. I did not read the whole thread and do not care to read about Coach Collins being fired when it is apparent that he is not going to be fired any time soon for reasons already discussed at...

Winning three games a year for three years in a row and losing the last two by a combined 100-0 will tend to result in fans demanding that the coach be fired. That said, we can continue the way we are going and be happy with all that money from the ACC while losing 8 or 9 games a year trending...

Boy, one of these days...

They came "highly recommended".

I read somewhere he was limited to about a dozen or so plays a game.

I could not help but notice that on one of those touchdown runs by Joe, a UVA defender was run slap dab over by BIG Ed Wilder. Good blocking, good tackling usually results in wins.

I am of the opinion that the portal is fine as far as it goes but it is NOT to be a replacement for recruiting your own players and developing them.

"Revolt"? Let them revolt and the Devil take the hindmost. Coach Collins should have used this as an excuse to clean house of malcontents and players that were not buying into the program. Be good or be gone needs to be the order of the day.

Well, winning six games is double what we had been doing so there is that. Referencing what Jacket 05 said about the podcast and players on defense not trusting the coaches and doing their own thing, since when is this sort of thing permitted by competent coaches? It is inexcusable to allow...

Sure, but that was with the benefit of hindsight. Now he is admittedly about one step above, say, Hugh Freeze but then he was the most coveted, sought after coach in the game with a pristine reputation when he left Utah for Florida. Why do you think Florida AD Jeremy Foley went ahead and fired...

I am told by my Florida friends that soon after Urban became coach he was upset by a starting cornerback that was not going to class and doing things he should not have been doing. When he called the player into his office and outlined a number of goals he expected all players to meet and a...

One three win season is understandable...three in a row becomes untenable. 6 win seasons in the Coastal are certainly nothing to brag about but kind of expected in the yearly contest to see who is the tallest midget in the room. That said, I don't pretend to know if there is some magic number...

We did. If you went to most games in those years...being fuzzy might be for the best.

Yep. You are right. Tech won three games that year VMI, The Citadel, and South Carolina. South Carolina was undefeated coming into that game with wins over #6 UGA, North Carolina and a nail biter the week before the Tech game with Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. They ran out of gas and it was...

My recollection is that it was at Grant Field. South Carolina was in the top ten and Tech was terrible. I was living in North Carolina and it was the only game I saw that year. I will double check and see but Todd Rampley had a career game and South Carolina just did not have that week. It...

The pine is a coach's best friend. Don't want to make the sacrifices required to get better? Don't want to get with the program? Fine, sit down and enjoy the view.

After 3 years I am skeptical. The problem is more about lousy game day coaching, player development, and some recruits not panning out as alluded to by Roddy Jones.
