Firing Thacker after yesterday’s game is akin to firing the pastry chef on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

I think the last 6 or 7 years have numbed our senses a bit to the point we think “just be okay” is a goal. Okay is better than we have been in quite some time but you have forgotten the dissatisfaction we felt infer Coach Gailey. We were “fine” or “okay “ back then. You can’t energize a fan...

If he takes any thing less than negotiated he is an even bigger idiot than suspected.

He loves GT. You love GT. I love GT. We all love GT. But NONE of us love it enough to leave 7 figures on the table. That’s not love….that’s insanity.

Better call Saul. That show was awesome.

I left the game in the 3rd quarter as did most in our area. Our team was hapless in every possible aspect and it is time to make a change and move forward. In year 4 progress should be apparent. It is not.

Me too…I am here with my old GT buddies for the first time since’19. I am expecting a good crowd, perfect weather and a great game. For whatever reason I think we can play with Ole Miss. my Ole Miss neighbors and acquaintances are even unsure about who and what they have this year. Go...

Just for the sake of discussion, would you say he has a better resume as a coach than Collins did when he was hired? Plenty of people feel like we bought the sizzle instead of the steak. Would this be a repeat of same?

Thank you for this! If Purdue and Colorado can't do it then I will no longer unreasonably expect Ma Tech to do it either. However if and when they can figure it out I hope we are able to at least copy them. That would be awesome.

I am going to approach this conundrum from another angle. I think we can all agree that GT is not a very desirable job in the world of P5 football. Of course, with the $$$ offered, there would be men and women lined up around the block (myself included) to get an interview. Q1: So, assuming...

I'll take a stab at that. IMO, it's because this site tries to moderate and take a middle of the road approach. Probably the oldest Tech board is moderated heavily with little or no back and forth or perceived negativity allowed. The other Tech boards (asides from this one) have and promote a...

Interesting post and spot on with what I learned "back in the day". What I find interesting in this is that Collins had been with enough organizations over the years and around enough successful coaches that one would think that he would have adopted a "best practices" approach. That is what I...

I'm not going to flame away as your post is well written and it is obvious that you are passionate. Where I will push back though is this - you must run in different circles than I do. As an older fan (class of '81) myself, I don't hear anyone wanting the older fans gone. I don't get that vibe...

I'm going to be at the game and am pretty pumped up. WTBS, should I do this with my life savings OR go to the V and get two chili slaw dogs, fries and a large FO with same? In other words should I gamble or take the sure thing here???? I'm rather risk intolerant fwiw. TIA for any input here.

I agree that your opinions are well thought out. But, frankly, the dogma in this post is to be appluaded at some level. I have often wondered how people decide that their opinions are more worthy than others. Apologies to the staff/mods/other readers for going off topic here. But this comment...

I wonder if future generations will look back in awe at our past ability to make metallic gold cloth in the same fashion as we marvel at how the pyramids were constructed??? man, those were the days! ;)

That’s what this place is for. It is the media outlet for people whose annual giving probably would not pay for 6 weeks of helmet decals for the entire tight end group. If John started charging a $5 annual fee we would probably have a half dozen posters. 😉

Didn't we essentially do the same with Chan Gailey? He won but just not the right games and we went bowling every year. However, his personality didn't sit well with the fans and he couldn't/wouldn't solve his issues with the O. We haven't been a consistently winning program since despite the...

We all know who Neon Deion is. But do the kids know? Could this be similar to hiring to Leon Hart or Doak Walker back when we were in school? In case you don't know who these guys are, they are Heisman winners from the 1950's. What I am saying here is this....to some of us, we saw Deion in his...

Great philosophical question. I think JD had Tiger's God-given physical talents but had 1% of Tiger's will to drive himself to be the best. But, otoh, JD doesn't strike me as one who lays awake at night wondering 'what if". He had a helluva good time living his life as he saw fit and the majors...
