Nope. And if there is anyone that should like BOB it would be me since I idolize his original teacher, Ralph Friedgen. But BOB would need significant help in the personnel side to be successful. If we got that and didn’t have him in charge of that side of a college program he might not be bad.

I didn’t say they did any better. He got a lot of criticism from the players when he made the ridiculous deals as a GM and that’s the part of his job with which I take umbrage. He wasn’t a terrible coach and I don’t ascribe the issues with Watson to him at all. Of course that wasn’t his fault...

My problem isn’t with him as an OC, though I don’t love him in that role, either. I don’t think he’s a good leader. Mostly for how badly he lost the room in Houston. It he had spent more time at PSU so we could have seen him under normal circumstances then I might feel differently but I didn’t...

"Raspberry... I hate raspberry!"

Wow thank you. That’s really high praise and it means a ton to me.

Ah but this isn’t any other P5 job, it’s the one where he is completely familiar with and to the players and their families and the current players we are recruiting. He’s the one who has coached them to a 4-3 record down the stretch. If we were to look at Jim Leonhard at Wisconsin then...

i appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts. I don’t agree with everything right off the bat but I’m taking time to absorb your points and add them into my own analysis which, as I’ve said, hasn’t resulted in me having a particular favorite. The way I tend to look at most things on the...

Tu The business thing is a bit of a “my bad” because I meant to quote the post you were agreeing with from Jacket Bracket. That post mentioned the business context and I forgot to multi quote. Sorry about that. No need to be melodramatic about making crap up. That happens on both sides of...

Darn it too late. I hit Post Reply on another response before seeing this. Can I reply 10 since I can kinda see all of those points?

or perhaps you just haven’t made compelling arguments. And no, nobody thinks Collins was single-handedly responsible though most would agree he made things hard for everyone to varying degrees and your arguments against that aren’t convincing people because that’s not what they believe. Also...

I don't think the Collins effect completely absolves everyone of everything that happened prior to the day he was fired. On the other hand it's pretty compelling evidence that he had a TREMENDOUS negative impact on the entire team. You just have to look at what's happening on the field to know...

Those guys are being very clear they are just stating an opinion. It is entirely possible Chadwell is the latest shiny object. I don't think interest in him is because he's "cheap." That may be a nice side-effect of where he is in his career right now but not necessarily the driving...

Very fair statement. My original point about Lane Kiffin was to point out that a guy most consider a pretty savvy offensive guy has found ways to make heavy use out of real, honest to goodness triple option plays while still being considered a modern and enjoyable offense.

First of all I don't blame you one bit on having seen enough of them at Bobby Dodd and my comment was mainly one of curiosity, And I think we're on the same page about the potential being there for a modernized version of an offense that presents problems for a defense because they don't see it...

What has any coaching candidate proven? None of them have proven anything about what they could do at GT. All they’ve proven is what they have done elsewhere. Not a single thing they’ve done PROVES what they can do at GT. I don’t have a favorite candidate for the GT job. I don’t have an...

Just out of curiosity, have you watched much Ole Miss games this year? Their offensive minded head coach is running a modernized version of a triple option. My point isn’t that they are awesome it’s simply to say that Lane Kiffin has found a way to make it an exciting offense he can recruit to...

If you looked at our team after the first few games and felt we would have an easy time with anyone else on our schedule then, in my opinion, that was an extraordinary overestimation of what the program has become. What you see as nailbiters I see as games we would have lost had Collins still...

Wow. I don’t even know what to say to a person who looks at a win and says it’s bad for us. This program, our players, their families, our fans, have been starving for anything positive to hold on to. Stop overthinking things. Enjoy the win. Have you had a chance to watch the postgame press...

No they’re not. Collins was absolutely considered to have had a big hand in that class. Giff was also considered to have a big hand in that class. Why do people always have to manufacture reasons to disagree when it’s actually both things being partly correct. They both did a tremendous job...

My understanding is that has a two year guaranteed contract. So if we let him go we have to pay him the full salary for next year.
