Collins took a look at Clemson.Swinney and immediately decided he was ll about "culture". Except he had no clue what Swinney was doing and how Clemson morphed into the head of the class in college football. And it didn't include telling every player how much he loved them after every loss. Or...

Okay. So give it up. Tell us why he quit.

Sometimes a resignation is just a resignation.

Are you saying to us we want a football coach who was hired by a booster? Why hire an AD at all? The onus is on the president to hire a good AD, and then get off the road.

It would shock me. Geez. we hardly get a win before the perils of over optimism.

I think there are all kinds of contract ephemera that can be used to get a coach. The problem is that we now allow football coaches to drive the entire athletic department and in some cases -- I am looking at you, Alabama, and USC, amongst many -- drive the university. Take all the time you want...

Guaranteed contract for three years at $4-$5 million a year? Lots of coaches would jump all over that. But a more favorable view to me is a 5-year deal with no guarantees past the third year. If a coach won't take it, move on. Somebody will.

If Deion or anyone is having "back channel" discussions any and all AD candidates should bolt for home because he will never be in charge of anything. Leaving to Tech to screw up a second chance.

You can't go wrong in blaming Collins for everything that has happened, will happen, or might happen. He was an Alibi Ike whiner that added new depth to boobery. Think about it: his take of team "culture" was to standoutside the clubhouse door telling each player "I love you" as they entered...

He can't be 100% committed if he is looking to leave, can he?

I agree to love him if he agrees to win.

We will learn everything we need to know when the next football coach is hired. If they can talk a front-line, top-of-the-heap coach into coming to the Flats, that will convince me that at the very least this administration will produce a quality football team. You know, the kind that used to...

Ah, yes. I get what you are saying -- excessive exuberance and all that -- but if they play the game, there is always a chance. Otherwise why bother?

Everybody was running some flavor of the option; Johnson was just a 100 percenter because he believed in it so -- look at his Navy and Georgia Southern records, and his first six or seven years at Tech -- and he knew with the various sets and quick motion he could run any offense in the country...

Saturday night in Omaha, Nebraska, is like being no place at all. Sorry John Denver.

I am proud of this team. It could have gone belly up and perhaps because of the acting coach, came out swinging. His being an offensive lineman may account for some of the truculence.

I am of the school tht says one way to judge a candidate for any job is to look at how well he did his last job. At the same time it is horribly unfair to judge a coach on Coillins' staff. Give 'em credit for not going nuts.

Tell us how you really feel.

Take a look at Johnson's record at Navy and then convince me Collins would have had a prayer against him.

I think the season after the 3-win season GT won 9 or 10 games. I'll forgive a guy a 3-win season -- acorns and blind hogs etc. -- but it takes an amazing lack of stil to have three in a row and get off and running on a 4th. Until now I never understood why the AD did not come down hard on his...
