There is no excuse for allowing Duke, in particular, but others as well to come prancing into metro Atlanta schools and steal recruits right out from under our nose. We are smack dab in the middle of what has to be a top 10 recruiting area for the entire country and there is no reason why we...

Yes, we as fans always buy into the hype whether it is put out by the coaches, the players or the media. You would think we would learn. Coach Collins tried to tell us but its not in his nature to be dour and tamp down expectations. One year Vince Dooly was hosting his post game show on...

I don't know that we ever had two tackles on any offensive line that Coach Johnson was happy about. It seemed like we had productive guards and centers coming out of our ears at times but tackles were hard to come by. Last year, he got so mad at Zach when he jumped offsides in a game, I...

See, now we have gotten him to doing it.

Indeed, it is one of the most challenging rebuilding jobs in Tech history with the possible exception of what Bill Curry faced circa 1980. However, the flip side is that we need to have a little more sympathy for what Coach Johnson was facing with the hostility of two athletic directors and a...

I can only assume that they can "coach em up" but the results from The Citadel and Temple games are not encouraging. We will see. I do know that Coach Johnson for all his faults at being warm and fuzzy with recruits could in fact get more out of less than any Tech coach in living memory. You...

The sad part is that even though we will not lose that many players off this team we can hardly afford to lose many of those. We lost just a couple of linemen from both sides of the ball and it created an immediate crisis.

Miami fans have set up some kind of GoFundMe thing to buy a banner calling for the firing of Manny after 5 games. Supposedly, the funding was secured in just a couple of days to be flown before the UVA game. I much prefer to be patient and see if Coach Collins all in approach to recruiting...

I wish I could believe that their motives are pure as driven snow...but I don't. I think it was done out of spite and pettiness to the detriment of our football program but it is their money to do with as they pleased. They have gotten what they want and the coach that they want so let's see...

EVERYTHING about that 2009 Virginia Tech game was epic.

We are going to get good players, no doubt about it Coach Collins is just the sort of coach recruits gravitate towards. His personality is warm, genuine, magnetic, positive. If you were a parent of a high school football player, wouldn't you rather your son play for him instead of say, Coach...

My standards have changed. The smoke and mirrors have worn a little thin. Time for some substance or at least on the field improvement as I have pretty much given up on Tech winning another game this year. Could happen, but I doubt it.

My problem with the "juice", the money down, the dancing, in fact all the gimmickry is that it needs to be done when you have done something...like maybe winning a few games...then dance away with the juice and monopoly money flowing.

You should take a look at the Miami board. This is Manny's first year, same as Coach Collins, and they are NOW ready to fire him, the DC, the OC, the AD, the water boys, and everybody in sight. The meltdown against Virginia Tech ignited a firestorm in that fan base that makes what is going...

For Coach Collins' sake, I pray you are correct. However, as losses pile up into the latter part of the second or third year, it becomes less likely to be a recruit magnet. By the middle of the second year, the argument will become one of whether or not the Collins regime is winning enough...

I was not aware of the young man's connection to FSU's old offensive coordinator. His defection makes sense in that context.

It might be good in future years given the emphasis placed on it by Coach Collins. Unfortunately, the recruiting was good for Randy Shannon at Miami, Ron Zook at Florida, Derek Dooly and Lane Kiffin at Tennessee etc. Recruiting is not a panacea for the ills of any football program but a...

He was a 5 star originally committed to FSU. UNC stayed on him and stole him at the last minute I think. He has all the tools except foot speed. A gunslinger of the first order to be sure.

It's one of those: "It seemed like a good idea at the time." deals. Coach Fuente was a hot commodity back then and most observers thought Virginia Tech had gotten the pick of the litter. Too bad, it turns out it was a mutt and not a pure bred. Maybe he will turn it around after all, they...

You may be right...however, it is way too early to make that assumption. Virginia Tech fans were screaming for good old Frank's head after his first three or four years and he gave them the longest sustained success in the history of the program. It still could happen here. We could be on...
