A HC can often stifle a coordinator by forcing them to gameplan or play a different way than they think is best. This happened with Lane at Bama as an OC and Matt Canada under Orgeron. Dabo did it too early in his career and Chad Morris only came on with a guarantee that he would have total...

I'll be honest, I thought we would get beat. Lane Stadium on a Thursday with VT coming off a BYE? Not sure what happened but Fuente really doesn't have an excuse for that one. However, I still get a feeling CPJ has almost 0 room for error this season. 6-6 and he might stay, and I think beating...

I checked our schedule for this year and Duke and VT both had BYEs the week before our game and USF, Clemson, UVA, and UGA all play(ed) cupcakes (no offense to Georgia Southern fans in here) the week before playing us.

Duke has had BYEs or played Army the week before/2 weeks before most of those years. I feel like they schedule specifically to beat us. Edit: I looked it up 3 BYEs and one year with playing Army before us in the last 5 years.

Great game by the offense. The defense has me worried. If their receivers don't have butterfingers the game is a lot closer. We need ILBs that are ACC quality or maybe look at moving the position coaches around to coach them up. I don't know how we have such a huge downward swing after a great...

I'm at least 60% sure we played Graham because he flipped from VT to us at the last minute. Extra salt in the wound.

Roof is actually a good warning sign of what might come if we go that way for a new head coach. Good recruiter, personable, boosters like him, but he can't coach worth a damn.

I'm not going to disagree that the option limits our pool, but I disagree that it has really hurt us with QB recruiting. James Graham and Justin Thomas we're both 4* athletes. Vad Lee was a 4star on ESPN and did very well as JMU. Jay Jones is supposedly doing very well at JUCO. We've just had...

The only thing I would like to correct from the above posters is that Wazzou has a much harder path to the NY6 bowls than us. The coastal is almost always open and even if the winner gets hammered by Clemson or FSU (when they get back) a 1 or 2 loss ACC conference winner can still make the big...

Why would Mike Leach come here and rebuild a program, and going from the option to the most pure form of the air raid like he runs is going to be a complete rebuild. He's 57 and has Washington State winning again. 4 bowls in 5 years is huge for them considering they hadn't been to one in a...

I don't know how much pull The Hill has in hiring a head coach. GT only fronts a portion of the money and the rest comes from the AT fund and radio shows, appearances, apparrel, etc. https://hkm.com/football/contracts/paul-johnson/ That has CPJs 2015(?) contract for example and it lays out...

If the best coach we can get is an option coach then we should go for that. If the best coach we can get runs a pro-style offense we should go for that. We can't be choosing beggars. We shouldn't pass up Monken, if he's available, for a second tier guy just because he runs a different offense.

The spread/air raid/HUNH/RPO heavy offenses don't work down here unless you're Clemson or Bama (when Kiffen was there) or you have an insane amount of talent. UNC, VT, MSU, Auburn, Arkansas, A&M, and you can go on. Even Clemson's offense was not very good without an elite QB last year and was...

Who cares what the big money boosters think? Where was their money going in the first place besides Ted Roof's pockets? In one summer the small money fundraiser did as much for GT football as the big money people have in a decade. Not that I agree/disagree with whether to move on from the TO, I...

There have only been 16 coaches fired mid-season in FBS in the last decade (resignations like McElwain and Tommy Bowden are included). It's not going to happen and it's a bad look. It makes it harder to attract coaches if you do a guy dirty like that. Ask LSU and USC fans why blue bloods like...

For those of y'all that don't follow the basketball program as closely as football, we just missed out on another big time in-state kid and the criticism of CJP's ability to recruit is surfacing. Now this is a guy who was brought in because of his ability to recruit and he harped on how much he...

He has a super high ceiling. I'm glad the young guys are picking up the defense and we don't have to simplify all the time like we did with Roof. Different people learn at different rates so it'll be interesting to see who else emerges by the end of the year. The best part about it is that the...

To the people that are on the side of adding easier majors: Let's say we create a whatever your idea of said major without calc and science requirements is. How much do you think it will really improve recruiting? Do you think we will land 5stars or top 150 kids? Top 250? Will we be in the top...

It's how we've lost that matters, and better recruits aren't going to fix that. We can't stop putting the ball on the ground, we couldn't kick worth a crap last year and the beginning of this year. Our special teams were generally a joke. Collapsing at the end of halfs and at the end of games...

GTRI has a revenue of $370 million, mostly from DoD contracts and grants. That's over 50% of Clemson's ENTIRE endowment. Yeah football and tuition make money, but the people in charge know what the cash cow is. Will easier majors and dropping calc requirments hurt us academically and hurt our...
