    Bowling Green Postgame

    Does anyone have real doubt that Oliver is a better runner from the QB position than TQM? What we saw against USF and Bowling Green is pretty interesting from Tobias.

    A look at offensive line recruiting

    I believe that CPJ made a tactical error in not going with Lucas Johnson... He made the switch on TQM last year (when he probably should have been an Aback) and he has stuck with it, but I believe this was a mistake. It is clear that Lucas Johnson and Tobias Oliver are: Better passers Bigger...

    A look at offensive line recruiting

    Great.... because if this isn't a problem long term than the pieces are in place. The QB's look great, the RB's look great, and if the line comes together the offense will be in fine shape.

    A look at offensive line recruiting

    Right... I am pointing out a "majority" of the recent offensive line recruits... When a good portion of the 2014 and earlier offensive lines were made up of talent that was more sought after in the recruiting process. They have done a good job with guys like Shaq and Kenny Cooper, but thats not...

    A look at offensive line recruiting

    Georgia Tech has addressed needs for the future at B-Back, A-Back, and Quarterback in my opinion... Lucas Johnson, Tobias Oliver, and James Graham give Tech great options at QB. A-Back and B-Back are loaded for the future with Tijai Whatley, Dontae Smith, Cottrell, Benson, Mason, Howard, etc...

    Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    The Georgia Tech offense is one player off from being really good, and that is QB. TQM just isn't the guy. They made a mistake not going all in with Lucas Johnson who can clearly sling the ball around AND run. Wouldn't be the case with a different QB. We see the plays are there every game, TQM...

    Clemson postgame

    This really is simple... It's a talent issue, period. The passing game is not a threat, the entire defense needs upgrades, and the Oline needs upgrades. Look at next year's team and see if these issues are addressed. I really think they are. The 3-4 requires a lot of speed and talent...

    Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    Good post... pretty much along the lines of what I was trying to claim. Then you look at someone like Notre Dame, with all their money, resources, prestige, history, TV deals, etc... They haven't won a championship in 30 years. Think about how long that is. Thats nearly half a persons lifetime...

    How to be an 8 win Team

    Every other year against Georgia would be fine to me.... On those off years schedule 4 guaranteed-win home games against FBS teams and, if running the option, generate interest by rushing for over 500 yards in every one of those games. Then enter conference season with some confidence, in a...

    Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    Chasing national titles is a fools errand for the most part... In this day and age a few programs just have too much talent to overcome. Its kind of unfortunate but is what it is. Proof: Alabama Clemson Alabama Ohio State Florida State Alabama Alabama Auburn Alabama Florida Texas USC USC Ohio...

    How to be an 8 win Team

    Nice post, especially #3.... A conversation about scheduling got buried in another thread last week but its a key issue. Play San Jose State, UTEP, Florida International, UAB, Coastal Carolina, etc every year in the non-con. GTech should have 3 guaranteed non-con wins. When you have to play...

    Let's compare coaches, just for fun !

    I don't like the idea of a coaching change, but CPJ must address the passing capability... There is no reason why other "run first" teams like Army, Air Force, New Mexico, etc have more competent passers than what GTech has. He should have left TQM at Aback and proceeded with Lucas Johnson...

    GT vs Pitt Postgame

    I hate to say this, but GT is giving up lots of points and big plays because TQM just can't throw the ball. He really does look like a DB or RB throwing it. Like when you call a fake punt or some kind of a trick play that requires a WR or RB to throw it. Thats what he looks like. They need a...

    Fire Jimbo Fisher, Jon Gruden, Chip Kelley, Jim Harbaugh, etc

    They lost a game... their players made mistakes, missed tackles, etc. How can they not be fired?

    I want to see Tobias Oliver throw a pass..... in a game

    If what you are guys are saying is true, the future is bright between Lucas Johnson (who we know can pass), James Graham (who you are saying can pass), and Tobias Oliver (who potentially can pass).

    I want to see Tobias Oliver throw a pass..... in a game

    There are 2-3 passes in that video from 3 years ago that make it seem like he has a more natural throwing motion than TQM, and doesn't look like he is throwing it as hard as he can. He's clearly not as fast as TQM but he is bigger, stronger, and at least from a form perspective has a pretty nice...

    Talent Questions

    Another aspect of "quick fix" talent is transfers and junior college players, to which Georgia Tech doesn't compete for. I was watching the Nebraska game and they had multiple wide receivers, a running back, and some defensive players that were all junior college transfers that quickly upgraded...

    Where do we go from here?

    I didn't take any offense to anything anyone said... this is good conversation. I would say those against are partially correct, in that it kind of masks the problem, but it still guarantees Georgia Tech a bowl game every year (unless things go REALLY bad).... I also think winning generates...

    Where do we go from here?

    CPJ is essentially an offensive coach... Well, the offense more than did its job yesterday. 600 yards, 8 ypc, etc. The defense just needs more speed and talent. Also, CPJ hired a very well respected defensive coordinator. They just need more time to upgrade defensive talent. I know you guys...

    USF Postgame Discussion

    If the program wanted to make a hire that would keep a similar offensive style (ground game) but diversify it a little they could hire Willie Fritz and Bob Debesse... Both know the area, both run the option, but both run a version of it that is more like Nebraska from the 90's and early...
