  1. #NDvsGT 55 to Zero

    Collins will survive this year and so will TStan. Not enough people understand that the reason Collins is here is because alot of the important money men wanted him here. He will be here at least 1 more year, maybe 2. I do think he needs a 6 win season next year though to likely get that yr 5.
  2. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Keep in mind the attendance in FBS has been declining for 7 straight years before the pandemic hit, it is not just a GT issue. Clearly though, having poor teams are going to adversely impact your attendance. And with ever increasing TV contracts, the importance of home attendance is a slowly...
  3. Is this the worst defeat in our history?

    From another site. 73-7 is the worst loss since 1970. 55-0 is the biggest road shutout since 1970. 45-0 is the biggest home shutout in since 1970. They are 3 of the 6 worst losses at GT since 1970. Another fun stat. That is 7 straight games that the defense has given up 480+ yds. Only 4 teams...
  4. Hypothetical poll: how long would it take Saban to win a championship here?

    I think fans are overrating his ability to win here given the constraints. In 5 years at Michigan St he went 34-24-1 and finished 5th or worse four out of 5 seasons. Michigan St is a better job than GT, I think it is 15+ years if he is able to do it at all. GT lacks the alumni size, the state...
  5. 2021 ACC and Competition News

    With Miami losing to FSU today, the 2 divisions are basically down to 1 game. The winner of the NC ST @ Wake game tonight likely represents the Atlantic and the winner of UVA @ Pitt next week likely represents the Coastal.
  6. OC and DC replacement thoughts!!

    UNC Fans would probably be willing to spend just about any money to off load Bateman, they intensely dislike him. Say he hasn't stopped a dual threat QB in 3 yrs. This season his defense is giving up 34.6 ppg against power conference opponents, including 4 games where they allowed over 50 (and...
  7. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Yes, though he wasn't the first choice for that position. They really wanted Charlton Young who is at FSU. He turned down the GT offer.
  8. Another win this season?

    This will be a tougher game because their starting QB is back. Teams were absolutely loading the box against them because their backup QB couldn't throw a deep ball, which then basically took one of their best offensive weapons - Zak Flowers, out of play. Just with a threat of a deep passing...
  9. GT vs BC Kickoff @ 3:30

    Marketing has 0% to do with what TV times you get. That is determined almost exclusively by how attractive your game is from a TV perspective (how many eyeballs will watch it). When you are a bad team you get bad times and bad channels. The only way to change that is to have a good team, or a...
  10. #GTvsMIA Postgame. Tech falls short 33-30

    Next year is going to be the make or break year for Collins tenure. Bill Connelly has pointed out that if a staff is going to be successful somewhere you almost always see it by year 3. Now, if you want to say Collins' first year was Year 0, then year 3 is next year. Anything less than 6 wins...
  11. Game 9 #GTvsMIA Predictions

    I thought last week's game would be a 21-17, 24-21 type of contest. I think this week is more of a track meet like UVA game. Miami's D is not good at tackling so we should be able to score more. But their offense has been exceptional throwing the ball the last few weeks and that is a scary...
  12. Game 9 #GTvsMIA Predictions

    I think Miami wins this as we fail to cover their WR's. Hope I am wrong though. Would be fun to beat them again. We absolutely have to be in positive TO Margin to win this game.
  13. It's fine

    I don't have an issue with the idea that recruiting sets a baseline, but it is that, a baseline - not the final spot. Strong recruiting without strong development and in-game coaching will lead to mediocre at best results. I don't think the big concern with Collins and his staff is whether they...
  14. Where do we go from here?

    All sports, professional and college, report paid attendance, not actual attendance. So paid tickets was probably 35K, the number in the seats might be far less.
  15. Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    When it comes down to it this is the only thing that matters in terms of how long CGC has. "If he were to be fired within the first four years, Collins would receive 100 percent of the remaining value of the deal. After that, he would receive $2.4 million for each remaining season. For example...
  16. #VTvsGT Homecoming Postgame Thread

    What is most disappointing right now is that barrng a big upset, we will go 3 full years without back to back wins and potentially may have no wins over an FBS team that had a winning record for the season. The recruiting may be better than it has been, but it will completely dry up in season 4...

    Fixed this for you.
  18. GT @ Miami

    With Miami beating Pitt they have alot of motivation to play hard now. They have the potential to get to the ACC CG if they can win out in the conference. They are going to score alot of points next week as we are a bad defensive team and a horrible pass defensive team.
  19. Where do we go from here?

    CGC was the GT money men's choice. They are the ones that will have to pony up the money to make a change, but I don't see them doing that, as it means having to admit your mistake.
  20. #VTvsGT Homecoming Postgame Thread

    Contract basically guarantees the CGC is here into his 5th year. Until then his contract is 100% guaranteed. We don't have anywhere near enough money to pay the whole contract.
