    A half dozen 5 stars a year? How many programs actually do that? No I haven't given up. But unless you have a strategy and plan on paper ... it's just wishful thinking.

    Believe what? That Tech can go 12-0 year end and year out? I don't. I think we are capable of consistent 7-5, 8-4 results. And our plan should address that.

    Exactly how many 4/5 stars are we going to get? How much is this going to cost? Can Tech raise the money? Unanswered. This is wishful thinking. I'm done with it. I'm staying in Realville. until there is a stated goal, it's all just wishful thinking. Am I glad the GTAA took action? Yes...

    Worthless. Classic example of attacking the messengers. Attack his message. Does Tech have a small fanbase? Yes! Does Tech have a limited booster base? Yes! Until we deal with reality, it's wishful thinking.

    Hilarious. I have heard this for 40+ years. "If only we did this ... the money could come rolling in." No, it won't. It has never rolled in. We are a small school in a second class conference with limited options. We need to be smart about this simply to stay competing in D1.

    You can't GO BIG. Tech does not have the pockets to do that and has taken NO STEPS EVER to build a donor program. Can we drop down? No. We have too much debt and no ability to pay it off. We are in limbo re football. We need a plan to get to a respectable 7-5 or 8-4 record and keep the ACC...

    Deion has actually been here to Auburn. Last week. Has Tech even met with him? This reminds me exactly of John Gruden and Tennessee. Everyone getting worked up over something that isn't going to happen. There is no reason for Deion to come to Tech. Zero.

    Because Tech doesn't have an elite staff, recruiting and personnel department, competitive NIL opportunities, and above all, a track record of developing players for a possible career in the NFL. Realistically, we are a breakeven athletic department. You're talking another $50M in football...

    Is this even realistic? "As much as there is a natural fit for Coach Prime and the city of Atlanta, and an urge to reunite the two, there are significant details that would have to be worked through. Georgia Tech’s power brokers have to decide what its identity as a college football program...

    Paul Finebaum reports today that Tech is a program of the past and will never be relevant again. It simply doesn't have the fanbase or the booster base to attract anyone worthwhile and even if it did, it has no resources. Deion coming to Tech has no chance.

    Brian Harsin is in the process of getting fired at Auburn. I think he's a much better coach than what the AU boosters are painting him as and worth a look. Still, he is not the guy if the goal is NFL-Lite.

    Why doesn't the Athletic print the entire phone book? It would save time. I think it is pointless to even talk names until you have agreement on the approach. Are we changing from NFL-Lite to something else? Once we know that .. then we talk names.

    Does the AD need to be hired first before a coach?

    Technically no. The GTAA can establish a search committee and create a slate of candidates and choose from that. That's how Auburn did it. The President let the boosters force out Malzahn and right before getting Kevin Steele to take the job, he announced a search committee which slowed the...

    "mid season who does this help besides how folks feel on the outside?? = "Why let Coach Collins go in the middle of the season? It doesn't help the team. Perhaps it helps people outside, those who aren't on the team?

    I was a turnaround guy in my career. Often, when you did employee satisfaction surveys, most of them had really high scores and good things to say about previous management EVEN WHEN THEY WERE FAILING because there was no pressure to deliver results. Just have fun. And they did. No, part of...

    Again, unless the GTAA changes the direction of the football program, Gus is not the guy. In addition to a 5 year 11.5M contract he would have to be bought out of, Gus is just not known as a great recruiter or developer of talent. The football program was viewed largely as going through the...

    I don't see it. Even Auburn is going Ho Hum at Deion. Great curiosity factor but might be more trouble than he is worth. He did visit here after the Penn State game though.

    It would go beyond the athletics program. Homecoming would suffer followed by the collapse of Greek Life. For what? I can't even believe it's a survey being conducted from Tech. Normally, you would do this with a third party to deny any involvement. Could be unhappy campers looking to stir...
