Absolutely. An AD that thinks GT can be a top 20 recruiting program and a top 20 football team with the occasional playoff and national title contender. We have too many fans still harping about tough academics and other non-sense. We have some hurdles, like poor fan support (HS kids take...

I am not on the Coach Key bandwagon. Having any notion that he should be strongly considered after just two games, coming after a bad HC was canned, is just bad business. Right now, players and coaches got a temporary emotional boost, not by having Key as interim, but by having Collins off...

I am tired of the "dual-threat" QBs that don't threaten enough with accurate passing. Sims can run well, but he's not a QB...at all. He's just a running back that likes to throw (not pass) the ball. I hope the new coach goes hard after a REAL passing QB. If they can run some or alot...

So with 330 players in the 4/5 star pool, and maybe 40 or 50 teams with legitimate shot at even one of those, you don't think pulling in up to 6 a year (and maybe one or two less here, and one or two more there) isn't feasible for a major conference team, in a big metropolitan area? I still say...

Most of the 80s and 90s, Nebraska was a top 5 to top 10 team with several bowl games with national titles on the line. I never went back further on their history, but in my youth, they were definitely one of the yearly mentions as possible national title hopefuls at the beginning of most of...

Probably many fans stating being a national contender isn't realistic. I kid, but only partially. Honestly any program that has finished inside the top 50 in the past 20 years can legitimately be a national contender with the right attitude and funding. If programs like Tennessee, FSU...

I agree, that is realistic, but I suggest we aim for more than that and settle for that if it so happens. Aiming for that realistic take will result in not meeting it. I am aiming for national contender every year, ACC champ contender every year. While not realistic for many schools outside...

I meant six 4 and 5 stars combined, in any allocation and yes, this is not only possible, but can be done regularly if we don't hire a retread or zombie for a coach. Aiming for mediocrity will result in mediocrity. The transfer portal, NIL and other changes can work in our favor if we change...

I said 4 AND 5, not just 5. I have no illusions of getting six 5 star recruits, that #1 recruiting class territory, but getting four or five 4 stars and one 5 star is not that big a reach for a major FBS school in a large metro area in a major high school football state.

We're in a Major FBS conference. We're in a state known for top end high school football. What in the world is holding GT back from being a top 20 recruiting school, year in and year out? Only our own fears and pessimism? I can think of nothing limiting GT. We have gotten used to only...

NIL opportunities are malleable. GT is in Atlanta with many companies headquartered here. A coach with name recognition like Deion would immediate draw NIL interest. IF he can recruit some 5 and 4 star players (and I think he would just being Deion), the NIL offers would start arriving and...

Kirby is 5x the coach Richt was. The handful of UGA fans I know all agree they finally got a real CFB coach like they hadn't had in a couple of decades. UGA was underperforming every season given their top 5 recruiting, big budget, big stadium and massive hold on the state of GA. CPJ stayed...

IF we can't afford any of these guys, how can we try to get someone less risky (high floor, proven types)? They cost a LOT more money than low floor, high ceiling risky plays at HC.

This is not true given the new realities of the transfer portal and NIL. Good players that stay four years will be rare for all but the best programs now. Pay more per year, but keep contract shorter. If you feel you have to do 5 or more years, give the school a nice out after year 3...

He'd hire a senior cheerleader as HC of football. Collins top two priorities are cheerleading and cheerleading. Football and X's and O's don't really concern him apparently, nor does hiring a competent coaching staff. His skill at hiring OC/DC fails him. Colling could succeed as HC if he...

I wonder if CGC is like one of my youth baseball coaches long ago. The kind of coach that wants to see unnecessary rah-rah from a player to the point he'll bench a player that is playing well, but not showing exuberance in favor of a clearly bad player that is dancing around and yelling...

I want to aim higher too. Reading posts here that say we can't really compete for NC. We can, but it would take lightning in a bottle for sure now. That said, we should always aim for that lightning in a bottle and not a caretaker hire that was mediocre at better football schools, BUT has...

I am a mild fan of the TO at Tech. I really was pumped over the CPJ hire after watching him make GSU relevant again (after several years of mediocrity in 1-AA) and then taking Navy back to glory after years of losing records. I was at CPJ's last game, against UGA. As much as TO made us...

That was pre-Kirby. Richt was an awful coach at an easy-to-win at program. His 8 and 9 win seasons would be 4 and 5 win seasons at GT if he were our coach. No excuse not winning SEC championships, competing yearly with Bama and NC when you have a top 5 recruiting class EVERY SINGLE YEAR...

This^ This was no ordinary new coaching gig. Though the team under Bobby Ross did decline a bit after the NC season, there was still a winning atmosphere, improved recruiting and plenty of talent still on the roster. Bill Lewis came in, and nothing he did worked. Everything got worse and it...
