swampsting: Thanks for the information regarding Hatcher. I still think we will see him go up the ranks sometime in the future. Sometimes, a coach does get into the wrong place at the wrong time. If he is really a good coach, he will eventually overcome all his past difficulties. Hopefully, he...

The coaches are not paid by the Administration. They are paid from the walllets of the boosters and football income. Guess which one has debt problems! Paul Johnson was hired to win games, not by the Educational Department to advance their studies. Yes, it is imperative for the athletes to pass...

I guess your idea of a troll is a person who disagrees with you?

Official, Texas has hired Strong as their new Head Coach.

56JacketDE: True, that was a good defensive year due to Edsall's aggressive style of defense. There has not been a defense that agressive on flipping the ball since then. However, the opposition still scored 24.3 points per game, and Friegdens prolific offense helped with 35.5 points per game...

John: Maybe, but it is still in the category of Coaching Options. I would have a tough time staying on target with all my random thoughts. In fact, they say some have it, and some don't. They tell me I am full of it!

BenJones & 56JacketDE: No problem, I just used the remarks as a soap box. I have heard many fans asking for certain players to be hired as coaches because they were good players. I used that instance to show the other side of that situation. I read on one of the boards several years ago where...

I was looking at the topic for Vad Lee that had been locked. The facts that I posted proved the defense was poor, and that GOL only won while Friegden was there with his hefty offense. It is sometimes humerous to see people (past players) defending themselves when it is needless. The fact that...

MattE: Thanks for the information on Spencer.

Ben Jones: How do you know that Nate and Lil Joe would make good coaches? Being a player does not make one a good coach. Being a great player does not make one a great coach. A good coach generally has a very good analytical brain. These two might fit that, but you do not know this. Just being a...

LibertyTurns: No, I did not say that. I said, if a high profile coach has always coached at high profile schools or in the professional ranks, he probably could not coach at Tech. Many coaches win, even though they are mediocre, because they HAVE the 4's and 5's at the big schools. They most...

As far as I remember, Whisenhunt has not coached in College, has he? I would not want a pro coach to coach at Tech if they have not had a previous stint at a College with average players. Personally, I think it would be risky to assume they could coach with the type of players we get at Tech...

Nesbitt was that type of quarterback, so is the QB from Northern Illinois, who just came in 3rd on the Heisman vote. I still like that kind of QB.

56JacketDE: Do you know where Spencer is coaching, or is he coaching now?

Personally, I don't like to see any QB or back go out of bounds, unless it is to conserve time in 2-minute types of drills. I would like for the coaches to tell all of them to cut inside when they came close to the sidelines and try to get as many extra yards as possible. I also hate to see a QB...

I think it has fallen to 5%. Just a guess!

Since so many topics break down into the present coach and future prospective coaches, I decided to add a topic about this and throw in a first post under it. There are some things that are useless. O'Leary will never be back at Tech, neither will Friegden, nor Gailey, etal. They have about as...

I might as well add another reply. I saw a reply that caught my interest. Yes, we have had some offensive problems. It is obvious we are not doing as well with the offense now as we did in CPJ's first couple of years. However, the poster who claims the defense is our biggest problem is correct...

Why do topics stray? It is natural when we are discussing the reasons for losing. There are many reasons, and posters give their opinions. It may not have anything to do with the original topic, but does have something to do with the reason for losing. Someone may suggest an icon of their's for...

How do we fix it. That is easy, win by using the right system for the athletes we get at Tech. It can be done regardless of the naysayers, who claim we cannot get qualified athletes. I challenge everyone to look at all the teams in the nation that are winning and see if all of them are...
