Fan support is directly correlated to longer term team performance and track record in any sport anywhere. Granted GT doesn't have the volume of fans as compared to most SEC programs but they will return AFTER team performance improves. Anything other than this is driven by pure desire and...

My point is that independent of who the head coach is, multiple cumulative top 25 recruiting classes is the most important factor to improving team performance over the next two seasons. I can't defend Collins as a coach but can point out his track record would suggest he can be a very good...

Agreed - ND will always be at an inherent disadvantage to get into the CFP as long as they remain an Independent with no extra Conf Championship game or P5 association. Of course, this assumes the current 4 team CFP format - unclear how long that will last... If they were in the ACC this...

I didn't say a winning team next season - I said improvement. Five or six W's would represent improvement next season with a winning team two years from now when Collins first recruiting class would be Seniors. This should happen based on the cumulative impact of improved players with more...

Agreed - excellent recruiting directly leads to better team performance. In Kirby's interview on 680 today he emphasized the reason for UGA's success is simple - it's all about the quality of the players - not the coaches. As much as those on this board may hate him, he's got a ton more...

Agreed - I can't buy into blaming any of the current team performance on the lack of GT fan support. Consistently poor performance from any team in any sport causes the fans to go away until performance improves. As a longtime season ticket holder, I'm done investing my time and money in a...

This is the age-old question - which came first - poor team performance or fans not showing up for the game? I fall into the camp that fans will show up to watch good team performance. As a longtime football season ticket holder, I did choose to resist the urge to sell our tix Saturday...

An interesting question I have not seen any solid info on yet pertains to current staff changes impact on the 2022 recruiting class - which was on track to be a historic class before this season started. I'm pretty sure each one of those recruits, has a relationship targeted on one specific...

This is correct - the O and D lineman we've recruited the past two years need time to physically mature. Top tier programs don't have Freshman and Sophomore lineman playing as many plays as we've had to play this season. The program just doesn't have the depth of maturity, size and talent on...

Whoever our DB coach is must go too I would think. We had great experience and depth with our DB's and they have looked lost and played poorly all season - like a group of Freshmen...

That is exactly correct. Keep our O staff for one more year to see what they can do with more depth and experience on OL. Jettison one or more D staff due to player development regression and lack of ability to play as a cohesive unit.

I read somewhere GT has a 3.1% chance to win. That actually seems quite high to me. But I guess we could get a miracle pick 6, then an earthquake occurs and they have to call the game early with no ability to make it up. That's definitely our best chance scenario and pretty sure that would be...

Anyone realistically thinking a change at the top should occur is speaking purely from emotion and doesn't understand the reality of the existing contract and related Athletic budget considerations. It would be completely crazy and impractical to fire CGC after this season - it absolutely won't...

I'll be giving up our season tickets and will reassess after hopefully seeing better results in terms of W's next year. I simply can't watch a team with this kind of Defensive performance which has clearly trended downward all season - unbelievably frustrating. Life's too short - will be more...

Regardless of overall results, we clearly should not fire CGC at this point for program/recruiting continuity and contractual reasons. He needs at least one more year to show results in the W column. However, the same cannot be said for Thacker and our Defensive Backfield coaches as moves need...

This is all very true. But this team still would have met expectations with this Offense (5-6 Wins) if we had a Defense that wasn't ranked near the bottom of FBS rankings in most categories - particularly with scoring allowed, yards allowed and big plays given up...

ANY QB you put behind this offensive line will struggle with consistent performance. But while the Oline has struggled to perform with any level of consistency, the reason we're losing games is clearly due to the worst Defensive performance I recall in the past 30+ years. I thought CPJ's...

Probably not popular on this thread but I can watch our team play when we have the ball. We are at least an average team (statistically) on offense. But we our unwatchable when we don't have the ball. I don't believe our Defensive players are this bad - the collective whole is performing at a...

Recurring theme this season. As much as CGC and our AD try to convince all of us there is clear improvement with this team - it is a clear insult to our respective intelligence... We had horrible Defensive results during the CPJ era but this is even worse. Our upper classmates DB's are...

Sims clear positive development over his first 15 games should point to a combination of experience AND good coaching. However, I'm not sure we can say the same about many of more experienced DB's (e.g. #3). Coaching appears to be failing entirely on defense - you don't give up 636 yards to a...
