    Coach Brent Key Scenario

    If we went with someone like Key who is extremely unproven then we should definitely look to get a favorable contract. If we want to give someone a sweet contract then we go with someone who has a proven track record as a head coach. We don't have to screw Key to also protect GT. He's a risk and...

    Team played hard

    Then definitely a divorce! :) Actually, I had us going to the ACCCG game in that case an losing it. That's what the "-" is in the box. That's why we are 6 - 3 in the ACC...it counts that CG loss. It was all for fun. But I am going to do the $50 for Pitt and double it for each consecutive win...

    Coach Brent Key Scenario

    Is the four-year for recruiting thing really a thing anymore? What's the half-life of a new P5 coach who is inheriting a losing program now? I'm guessing half lose their jobs in less than four years, but I could just be having confirmation bias since I never notice those who hang on producing...

    Coach Brent Key Scenario

    I didn't say all incentive based, so you can stop putting words in my mouth to fit your humor. A three-year contract? I'm not so sure he wouldn't take it if it had automatic extension clauses that were reasonable. He won't get another P5 HC offer in that time frame, and if he's willing to bet...

    Knight transferring as grad transfer

    He's been interesting to watch. Recruited as a QB, moved to LB and looked pretty good early on. But as time has gone on he has seemed to fade a bit into the background. I don't know what happened.

    Week 6 #DUKEvsGT Predictions

    You've got to give them credit for being wrong vs Pitt and doubling down. I think media people who pick wrong more than right should lose their jobs. No accountability. They just blah, blah, blah by making up crap and no one holds them really accountable. It's why I have zero respect for them...

    Coach Brent Key Scenario

    And I bet we could get Key on a very incentive-based contract. Like someone said, 3-year with automatic 1-year extension based upon performance for the first couple of years. And get creative on pay for both him and the staff....dare I say....percentage of the gate for the coaching staff? Get...

    Team played hard

    I'm seriously considering going with the series approach for wins...starting the per-win at $50 for the Pitt game, and doubling it every time we have a consecutive wins. A Bowl Win automatically gets 2x the highest donation during the year. Game Most Likely Unrealistically Hopeful Pure...

    Coming soon to GT: Corporate sponsorships and new names for football field and basketball gym

    Oh yeah, that's right. It was owned by Dawgs, who are now rich Dawgs. :)

    When we win the ACC this year it should fit you just fine! ;)

    Coming soon to GT: Corporate sponsorships and new names for football field and basketball gym

    We might owe them, considering how poorly we played while associated with them.

    Coming soon to GT: Corporate sponsorships and new names for football field and basketball gym

    I'll text Elon and see if we can get "Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field on the 'X' Flats". Or maybe we paint a giant "X" on the top of the pavilion and call it "The X". Or even better..."The Twit" if he buys Twitter ;) Oh, and Sweetwater is Dawg-owned, so no.

    A little scouting report

    Thanks for stopping by and for the comments. I agree that our D balled-out and won the game for us until we (I guess) went into prevent and stopped sending pressure. Oh, I only know a couple of VT grads. Must not be the same people you know...

    Time for schadenfreude

    Lol. We don't even have 10 guys with 2 billion dollars :) (and by 'guys' I mean rabid Football fans. We've spent the last three decades educating China unfortunately.)

    God we needed that. (POSTGAME THREAD GT 26 - PITT 21)

    I thought I read someplace that it was now explicitly permitted as long as you just pushed the pile and didn't pick up the runner (which I think we might have in that pile, but I'll take it!) But I am no rules expert by any stretch

    Coach Brent Key Scenario

    I keep seeing people saying this. I get it. And not picking on you @Longestday ...it's been a common theme today. But, um, it can't have been more than one game. We had to win the one, to be able to win two. And we played a good Pitt team that is well-coached. Did we get "lucky"? Sure, every...

    GT football uniform concepts (by yours truly)

    Nice! Too much blue. (j/k) Seriously, those are nice. I'm a real fan of the Gold Pants, White top look. Your blue accents are perfect on those. I wish we'd stick to the basic scheme we had last night and just riff on that.

    GAMEDAY!!!!!

    I agree that those were debatable calls. But that's just it...reasonable people might debate if it was the right call or not. That's not where we were before the coaching change.
