Clemson has a bigger fanbase. They are outside a major metro area that cares about sports. We are in Atlanta, possibly the worst sports city on the East Coast. It is never going to be a fair comparison to look at Clemson.

1) If it helps us with recruits (or doesn't hurt us at least) 2) If it translates well to clothing for fans so we all actually start wearing yellow to games Those are the only two things I care about as far as the Gold goes.

I've posted it before, but we are still paying two basketball coaches to not be here (Hewitt's number is something like $7million). We also did a $50million dollar renovation to the basketball area about 5 years ago, and $8-9million for the brand new Zelnak Center in the last 10 years. We have...

This is why I think we should have done it earlier if we were going to do it. Not only is it a crappy thing to do to recruits, but lots of good coaching prospects have been hired away already.

I think he has, but if he doesn't he could be fired with cause and he just signed a 2 year extension in October so he'd leave money on the table. He's also a good guy and I think even us Roof "haters" like him as a person, we just don't think he has the ability to get it done here. Maybe it's a...

Yeah, you basically have to be better about disguising what you are trying to do and then execute well. Part of what makes great defenses great is also that they don't shoot themselves in the foot. They don't miss tackles, they don't take bad angles, and they don't blow assignments. Think about...

Very mad, but I predict he will be. We JUST extended him and gave him a raise. Lots of guys I wanted us to go after have already been hired by other schools so there aren't too many names still out there. Hopefully next year when we have 2 out of the 3 basketball coaches we are still paying for...

The negatives of the gun are offset if you can pass more efficiently. If you can force the defense to back off because they respect a passing game then it is a wash. Ideally you would want a team that can pass well while under center so you get the best of both worlds, but you generally have to...

I've seen that gif so many times but I never noticed #99(?) our NT doing that weird stutter step right into the OL and then getting stood up. That's not very good.

Yes it absolutely would. Good coaches and schemes can absolutely make up a talent gap. Look at BC when Dan Brown was there.

We have Adidas money coming in so hopefully that will help. And we have resources, we just throw them away on the dumpster fire that is GT Basketball. $50million arena upgrade, top of the line training facilities, paying for 3 coaches, our last AD was hired specifically for basketball, etc. All...

If we lost Anree we would be toast. We would have Meriwether and a yet to be determined player at DE, and two freshmen backing them up. DE looks incredibly weak next year as it is with only one known quantity.

Jay could absolutely be a QB if he's in the right system. He could have here with some polishing. Not every system requires the same stuff and any throwing issues he has are made up by his legs. We just have to have a QB that can throw, run, and operate the option elements of our offense. A guy...

We've now lost 4 of the top 6 guys (using Rivals) from the 2016 class for one reason or another. That's rough any way you slice it.

I wouldn't assume anything unless you have solid sources, it does a disservice to the kid. QBs transfer all the time, it's the nature of the position. Michigan just lost some, Eason is likely to leave UGA, Auburn etc. Tech isn't the most fun place to be, especially this time of year and if you...

Kid could be deadly in an offense that lets QBs improvise a lot like Louisville's system.

We run a true nickel package and not a 4-2-5 like other colleges do. What I mean by that is we have 5 DBs on the field (Lawrence Austin being the nickel back) whereas other teams run it with 4 DBs and a hybrid DB/LB. We did this under Wommack I believe. It's super popular in college with all the...

I think advertising of the school as a whole might help selling the academic pitch. Like it or not, the Georgia Tech brand isn't recognized as well outside of engineering companies. I posted this in another thread, but I work in the sciences and the name doesn't really have a lot of clout. I've...

I like Coach Cook but we have bigger needs than a 7th offensive coach.

UCF just did what I had posted earlier. Promoted their OC who is a long time OC/QB Coach and then use the difference to hire a great DC. It isn't the best method (see how CPJ talks about how he can't coach everyone so his assistants have to be successful independently), but it is the most...
