  1. Recruiting analysis

    The 2000 class number might be a regrade or something. It was the class with Hobie Holiday (bust) and Brandon Sumner (transferred to UCF, don't know if he ever played a down here) who were both huge recruits. I don't know if recruiting services go back that far but Holiday would probably have...
  2. Paul Johnson time frame.

    I kind of feel if that if the boosters are willing to shell out $14million for Fedora's buyout then they will be willing to throw some serious coin at a guy like Venables or Brohm or whoever the hot name is this year. $14million for a guy to not coach means you are serious about being a big time...
  3. Recruiting analysis

    The last two classes have probably been the best two year stretch in the school's history since the modern recruiting rankings have existed. We'll have to see how this year's class finishes, but I definitely think we are on the upswing and if classes like that become the norm then we are going...
  4. Recruiting analysis

    We added more recruiting positions earlier this year. We have to evaluate the next class to see how much of an impact it has made. If we do a lot better with top recruits then I think we can say we have a good strategy moving forward with football (ie grow the recruiting department through...
  5. Geoff Collins at temple

    Giff Smith is DL coach for the Chargers who had the #3 scoring defense last year and tied for #5 in sacks. Granted it is incredibly tough to judge a position coach in the NFL since so much is based on just talent, but I don't think you can say he's done nothing since he left either.
  6. Geoff Collins at temple

    That list is horrible outside of Collins. I hope Stansbury is only paying lip service to the alums and isn't seriously considering Godsey.
  7. Geoff Collins at temple

    Geoff Collins is one of the few coaches I would be ok with if we end up letting Paul go at the end of the year. He's been a successful coordinator in the SEC, he knows the reality of recruiting to GT, and he's shown success as a HC of a FBS school. His resume passes the sniff test and I think...
  8. Paul Johnson time frame.

    Houston built his JMU program through transfers. He has had multiple D1 calibre athletes playing in the FCS and out-talents a lot of teams. Basically the opposite of what he would have here. Not a good fit.
  9. Paul Johnson time frame.

    Key would only work if he makes a good hire at OC and keeps his hands off the offense. He was a god awful OC at UCF. However I don't know if we have the financial backing to really have a "CEO" type coach. We are better off having a good offensive coach and paying for a decent DC or vice versa...
  10. Can we put at least one myth to rest?

    This is the part I disagree with. Lots of people, including myself, feel it is different and it does give us an advantage since we can use it's uniqueness to punch above our weightclass. If a bunch of other team's ran it I would agree with the statement as well. It's like when the spread was...
  11. Georgia Tech vs Georgia State?

    Since this thread is pretty useless I will just say that Georgia State Football is the poster child of everything wrong with realignment and TV deals. They were a terrible FCS program that made it to the bigs because The Sunbelt needed to replace teams who left for CUSA (whose teams left for The...
  12. GT (-4) @ UNC

    It isn't Ted Roof bad though, which is the lowest level a defense can be.
  13. GT (-4) @ UNC

    I am never optimistic about a GT game, but I am about this one. With the exception of last year we are almost always able to score on UNC, we just had the $750,000 cardboard cutout known as Ted Roof helming our D for so long which made it a game. With a decent Defense like this year we should be...
  14. Can we put at least one myth to rest?

    I think it disproportionately helps against our team since our offense forces defense's to play the majority of the game in a set they aren't used to. Like I don't think that extra time vs UGA, for example, would help a ton because of how vanilla their offense is. I guess another way to put it...
  15. Can we put at least one myth to rest?

    The extra practice thing is true-ish. We tend struggle against teams that have a BYE or play an option team before they play us, based on purely my gut feeling the past few years. I haven't really looked up the numbers but I don't think it was a coincidence that everyone tries to buy extra time...
  16. Paul Johnson time frame.

    We lost to Miami because the boosters decided to make Roof the DC even though he was a complete failure everywhere he went. Miami ran the bubble screen for an entire series to march down the field on the last drive. We lost to USF because of defense and most importantly special teams. UVA was...
  17. Oliver

    We also would be left with a depth chart of TO, a true freshman, and a walk-on. TaQuan isn't moving.
  18. Oliver

    A huge knock a lot of the fans (maybe some in here that want TO to start) had on TaQuan was with his bad choices on keeps instead of pitching. We haven't really seen if TO has the pitch down or how well he can do it at game speed. I do think he should get reps for UNC but they now have game tape...
  19. Paul Johnson time frame.

    Miami fans are already all over Twitter with "Fire Mark Richt" posts.
  20. Virginia Tech Postgame

    Fuente said in his post game press conference when he was asked why more teams don't use our blocking scheme that it is much harder to move backwards and pass protect from the stance we have our OLine in. I know the center is positioned in a weird way when he snaps but I guess I never thought...
