I don't know if I have ever seen a team punt as often as we sometimes seemed to be doing last season. It's a wonder his leg did not fall off. Not only was Nix kept too long but for some reason Randy Shannon hired him to be the offensive coordinator at Miami. Some people just never learn.

Dodd was renowned as a "gentleman" coach who treated his players well. That said, early in his coaching career, he did not hesitate to get rid of two assistants who just were not very good. They were not bad people and their wives were friends with Dodd's wife and he did not want to do it but...

Miami might be a dumpster fire but they have way more talent than we do. Now what they do with that talent is another story. Losing games in seasons 2 and 3 may have an effect on recruiting but obviously not in season one. We will see. If we have a season. I think we will but it won't be...

No, but then I did not expect him to lose to The Citadel and beat Miami. Football is a funny game sometimes. He will be given an additional two year window to prove himself. If that is not being magnanimous, I don't know what is. Try getting that kind of deal at Miami or FSU. Poor Randy...

On the contrary, it is a cautionary tale for any college coach. Recruiting great players is only the first step. You have to win games. Corker, MR, Golden, Shannon, and now Manny. All had great success recruiting for Miami. None of them were able to move much beyond recruiting...

Give him time. The proof is in the pudding. Coach Collins is all in on recruiting. Which is fine but recruiting by itself will not be enough to get this program back where it belongs. The college football historical landscape is loaded with coaches that were hyped as great recruiters and...

Can't blame them for that. We will look better getting off the bus. We will be more talented. We have a better quarterback situation, we are more experienced and more talented on the offensive line. Our coaches are more experienced. We will still win about 3 or 4 games for all that...

I don't know if he can turn it around or not. I do know from recruiting rankings from ESPN of the past four years that Miami and UNC have had the best recruiting classes (in the Coastal). Miami's lowest rated class was #30 in 2019 and their highest rated class was 8th in 2018. UNC has had...

This makes a lot of sense, the part about Coach Collins …"better be able to win 6 games or he will have to get a new OC...simple as that" Except that it will be time for the defense or the special teams to fall apart and the fans will be complaining about those coaches instead of DP.

YPC tends to be low when the running back in question is getting hit behind the line of scrimmage more often than not. The wonder is how Jordan never complained, at least publicly, and just ran harder. He must have broken a million tackles last year.

This is what I was trying to say in my post...well not really.

I think it was the much heralded "Me Too" offense not to be confused with the basketball team critics characterization of their offense as the "Clogged Toilet". Beats me, I just want to see our team play better in year two. It can't get much worse.

It probably is too early but I understand Stech's frustration.

Damn Stech you got it in for that guy don't you?

I am of the mind, personally speaking of course, that any year in which Tech beats either UGA or Miami or Clemson can't be all bad. I know I am in a minority but beating UVA, UNC, NC State, Virginia Tech, Pitt or the Cuse just does not move the meter for me like beating Duke, Miami, Clemson or...

Could be but who and why? None of us really know what is going on behind closed doors so we have to trust Coach Collins to make the right decisions on coaching assistants. After all, its his team and his head on the platter if things don't turn out.

I don't get this emotional attachment to assistants. Sometimes you have to be ruthless in weeding out the help. Dodd said in his biography that early in his head coaching stint at Tech he had to let two assistants go who had been with Coach Alexander. Sadly the game had passed them by. He...

He is the best recruiter. No doubt about it. The way he handles the media and high school coaches is very much reminiscent of Coach Dodd. We will see but I can tell from comments that another three win season will have the natives restless regardless of the difficulty of the schedule. Some...

The end of Pepper's time most notably. I was watching a you tube replay of a game in 1985 at Grant Field with Tech playing Tennessee or Clemson, can't remember which and let me tell you the east stands were full and rocking. The announcers even talked about how loud it was when the band was...

Well, it generally helps. At some point, the wins will have to start coming.
