I personally think we would have to get extraordinarily lucky to hire a coach who wanted to stay at GT and was good enough to dictate terms to the Hill (ala Saban)...I'm thinking if I'm that lucky I should use it to buy a lottery ticket instead.

That's making a presumption that GT doesn't want to fix the problem and therefore hiring Key would allow them an excuse. My point is that if they don't want to spend the money we should expect them not to spend the money no matter who they hire. I choose to take Angel at his word, so would not...

Yep, and during Ice-mageddon in the early 80's we went onto the field to have a huge snow/ice-ball fight while slipping and sliding all over that thinly covered concrete!

I've always imagined it was similar to the way the military does planning. This is pure speculation, but it's fun to think about how I'd do it.... There is a discussion about the overall strategy we should consider, generally developed two weeks in advance by the analysts. Then each Coordinator...

Nice young man who is welcome to his opinion. It's usually interesting, but in this case he doesn't understand politics and the way things work in organizations. At least that is my take. The Coach isn't going to change the way the Hill behaves. It works the other way...he who rules the money rules.

Exactly. By that argument (that he would have hit season average performance) then Duke's QB should have had an accuracy of ~73% instead of the 49% he had for the game.

I agree...it's probably the biggest reason for overall improvement. No one is open, the QBs hold the ball longer and OC's aren't trying to stretch the field as much.

Tight Panted One...we had to have some way to refer to him a B*** L**** was already taken. :)

Based on what I've seen, almost everyone is a question mark when it comes to a college HC job. Even past success is not a predictor of future success, as the situation is different, the competition is different and the game is different. And now with NIL and the portal, it's even more different...

Do you think it might depend on the trajectory of the program by year's end? If we go bowling and CBK is coach it seems to me staying here might be a great option. But on the other hand if we don't see better o-line performance I'm not sure any NFL-likely QB would want to be hampered by that. If...

If we go to a bowl this year I'm committed to do by level best to be there. Let's do it!

I agree. Although we lose a ton of travelling fans who are there every Saturday, I think we pick up a bunch of fans that can't reliably make Saturday games due to kids sports. Just my theory, but I've seen it myself when I had kids in sports. The weekends were often shot with one tournament or...

I don't understand the real difference in responsibilities between a GA, Consultant/Analyst and Coach. I get it at the high level, but how does that change what they do day-in and day-out? So he was a GA and is now a Coach...what changes?

I never said that. I said... why do you think him being in the game would have meant GT lost? There is no objective evidence for that in our game. Did he run on VT? Yup. Did that mean he would have run on us? Not necessarily...and while he was in the game he wasn't particularly effective. To...

Yep, and went no-where...hence my comments above. My recollection is that his replacement came in and did much better right away. My thought at the time was "maybe it isn't good that he left the game."

Was there ever any response to the two calls (GT and Falcons?) I'm guessing the ACC will say nothing and quietly smirk since it was intended to help a NC school. I think I saw that the NFL rules committee was looking at the rule, but maybe they said "it's a judgement call". Did anyone see...

Yeah, I'm with you. I guess that makes me a loser. I'd love to get back to going to dozens of bowl games in a row, even if 66% of them are the Twinkies bowl. The Players love it, Fans love to go and it sure beats years of wandering in the desert following a false prophet being told to be happy...

He wasn't lighting it up in the first quarter, so why do yall think he would have been a difference maker?

I agree. I'm a pretty casual fan of the Falcons anymore, but I was out of my mind on the Brady Baby call. What ticks me off is that there is zero accountability for the refs. Everyone else involved in sports has to be responsible to the public for their performance (players, coaches, GMs), but...

Reading the PFF scores both Ace and CT had a tougher game than it appeared (and way below their season PFF scores.) The DE's had a very good game, so I wonder if Duke adjusted to either block or play to exploit our LBs given they have been so strong coming into this game? I just find it odd that...
