I had the same reaction too. I think Joey was acknowledging that Uga’s recruiting under Richt was not year over year what it is now nor was their spending on football. We are in trouble competing against them so scheme alone will not overcome talent. I agree that 12 team playoff does give us...
The notion that Geoff was the biggest, best recruiter is just not true. Geoff never ranked highly on Rivals or 247 as a recruiter. He’s only been credited with recruiting two five stars in his entire coaching history. Deion got one in his first two years coaching at the collegiate level at...
Your point of view might be right but we aren’t hiring Lincoln Riley or Lane Kiffin (i.e., proven offensive gurus) so what coaches could we hire on the offensive side of the ball who fit your description?
Personally, I don’t think we could afford any of the proven P5 level offensive gurus so...
He’s interviewed for several P5 jobs (e.g., TCU and Arkansas) and even said that he should have gotten those jobs. He’s leaving JSU. How about he comes to GT and we have a game every year against an HBCU here at the Benz or Bobby Dodd. Call it something cool and we take advantage of our location...
I hear you but ever since the talent composite has been published no team outside the top 10 has ever won a national championship. It’s a darn good predictor who actually has a shot a natty. Otherwise, for the remaining 120 teams it’s meaningless
This is an improvement for sure and the talent composite is the most comprehensive measure of overall team talent. Seeing this gives me some hope that we at least make it to bowl eligibility but as a few others have mentioned, player development and coaching matter. Given our location, we should...
Agreed. Sucker for Sermon but the 49ers are awful at selecting running backs in the draft or free agency but excellent with undrafted free agent pick ups. At least shannahan seems to make it work.
Okay, I stand corrected. We would be sixth in the B10 and 5th in the ACC - https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/
I still think GT would face less talented teams and fare better in the B1G. Right now, we are getting money whipped. We are already 20 mil/yr behind...
Not true. Maryland and Rutgers were punching bags before joining the B1G. GT actually used to do some punching in the ACC. Now we get money whipped by teams from other teams in wealthier conferences (see T Choice and Marco Coleman who got poached). Money matters. Also, I think GT would fair...
Revenue sharing might be even more seismic. When tv execs took over and the tv money grew out of control it was only a matter of time. I was reading an article that the ACC distributed more than the sec and B10 before adding BC in 2005. That quickly flipped with the biggest difference being the...
It was previously a relevant factor. Don’t know if it matters now. I haven’t seen any speculation about research dollars during the recent realignment/expansion talks.
