There are plenty of schools that want to provide access to a great education to people who aren’t those 1%-ers. Most of the time GT people (not at all saying you are one of them) crap on those schools because they aren’t rated as highly as some others and all they do is have a positive...

I think every piece of content I've read has been roasting George Kliavkoff (current PAC commish) and Larry Scott (former PAC commish) for EPIC failures of leadership rather than other conferences just poaching. Some of the decisions made by these two gentlemen are borderline criminal in their...

My two favorite in person are the Citrus Bowl in 1990 and the GT v UGA game in 1989. I'll never forget Jerry Mays trotting off the field for the last time holding his hand up with his index finger up letting everyone know who was the best team in the state. GT at Clemson for Kerry Watkins's...

I sit in between these two opposing viewpoints of "CPJ running the program into the ground" and the "we were AWESOME and not struggling at all at any time during CPJs tenure." CPJ, a coach I admire (present tense, he's still alive and I still admire him), was excellent for our football program...

I still haven't forgiven Francesa for NOT addressing his comments after the game. He didn't even acknowledge that he had totally screwed the pooch on his prediction. I didn't mind the prediction but at least have the guts to own that you were SO wrong.

Collins was a terrible coach. I'm pretty sure everyone has figured that out by now. CPJ, who I think was a good coach for us for some years and UNARGUABLY an offensive genius, inherited 8 guys who were NFL draft picks. Two of those guys were 1st round picks. Two were 3rd round picks. The...

I don't think you got the point I was making. I wasn't actually complaining about him using the system. Much as I dislike that he specifically is poaching GT I'm not faulting him for it. The rules are what they are right now and coaches are doing what they need to do in order to compete. I...

I didn't say he should stop what he is doing. I think he should keep his mouth shut. If he's not prepared to DO anything about the problem and is contributing to the proliferation of said problem then I really don't want to hear complaints from him about it. I actually don't think he's doing...

He's a tool. He's not wrong. But he's a tool. And if you're using the system that you think is causing it to be a disaster then you are contributing to the problem and should shut your pie hole. If he really was sincere in wanting to make things better, which I am sure he's not, then start...

You would think so. It's either that there are other factors that they felt gave him a bit less security OR that @roadkill is right and the list wasn't super well thought out for every coach. Or a combination of both.

Totally fair observation :ROFLMAO:

I still think that's not right which is why I pointed out that some of those other guys who got "1" were ALSO brand new to head coaching. I looked at the coaching histories of most of them and some of them are no more known quantities as head coaches based on their histories than Brent. Some...

There were actually plenty of new coaches at "1" so I disagree that it was just because he's a new coach. Kenny Dillingham at ASU, Hugh Freeze at Auburn, Tim Beck at Coastal Carolina, Tom Herman at FAU, Alex Golesh at USF, Kevin Wilson at Tulsa, Lance Taylor at W. Michigan, Luke Fickell at...

This ^. I would also add that something we have been missing is SKILL. There have been many arguments over the years over how much talent we have on the roster. I would submit that SKILL is where coaches/teachers make the biggest difference. I am using the definition of skill as an ability...

Every time I read or hear the word "elite" I think of the movie "Heartbreak Ridge": Sgt. Webster: Me and Maj Powers are building an "EEEE-light" company of fightin' men. Gunny Highway: Webster, the only thing you could build is a good case of hemmorhoids

Rivian has gone through two layoffs in the last 18mos. They have been cutting costs. I think it’s doubtful they would be interested.

Thank you I can understand not liking those examples, though I do feel we have lagged lately versus UNC but lots of that was a poor choice for head coach and not necessarily because they are a better program so I think we are probably not far off from one another there. And I do agree VPISU was...

What is your point? Honest question. Is it that the examples used were ones you disagree with or are you saying that we don't need the money because we are already competitive enough? Or none of the above? Yes we've beaten UNC. But the last 4 years they've been to bowl games (lost 3 of the...

I tend not to be so judgmental when, firstly, I wasn't there on the sidelines in any of the conversations and secondly I don't know everything that had gone down between the coaches and the players and it's really not that important to me to try and figure out who was right and who was wrong...

FYI Norvell didn’t really take time to get to know Sims. Jeff wasn’t the QB he wanted and he wanted the scholarships for other players. The minute he got to FSU he recruited a bit different style of QB than Jeff. I think what Jeff probably was lacking for Norvell was the quick decision making as...
