Perhaps this would this explain why Vad's run production fell off so much this year compared to last year. Ours is a run first offense, but with little or no commitment to the running game by the QB, it had little or no chance of development. If Vad wants a pass happy offense, he can find them...

I really would hate to see him transfer. Vad is a great kid, but I would be surprised to see him play in the pros. IIRC he red-shirted, so he has only two years (maybe only one) left of college ball. Wherever he goes, he will probably have to learn a new system. Bad for him, not good for the...

Where CPJ went wrong (as if he could have avoided it) was coming into a program that "suddenly" had excellent athletes...thanks to his predecessor. Right up front he beat UGA and won a conference championship, even though he was introducing a totally new system and coaching staff. Fans loved it...

You and I have much the same thought, Mack. When I was a student, Tech was about halfway through its third coach, Bobby Dodd. Hard to believe, but there was grumbling about Bobby. Too conservative...kicks on third down...boring...Dodd Ball...benches some of the best players (Billy Teas, for...

I agree with your comments. Glad someone else saw the same game I watched.

Aside from presenting a great image, the thing I like best about Dabo is that he appears to be fully in control of his own ego. That is, he appears to know his limitations while he plays to his strengths. I personally like that model. Bobby Dodd would frequently mention that the most all of the...

I may not particularly care for CPJ's sideline demeanor, but to paraphrase him "He is what he is." And at least he isn't a Muschamp. Furthermore, he may not always be right, but he is always coach. Just as the Georgia Tech expects the very best from its students, CPJ expects the very best from...

I was disappointed in the backfield blocking that exposed Lee to a fast rush and I also questioned some of the play calling/execution, especially on the razzle dazzle that resulted in a safety. It didn't help that Miss actually benefited from a delay penalty. But to the positive side, our guys...

I didn't forget about Wally, just didn't think he coached up to all the talent he had at Georgie. And don't forget the infamous Butts-Bryant phone conversation that was accidentally overheard by a third party. Wally wasn't too bright, IMHO. That would also explain why Georgie didn't have any...

IMHO, the past AD and the Hill are responsible for GT going away from that model. First, Tech needed to recruit student athletes that can and will graduate while competing in the classroom with high IQ regular students, so recruiting was more a matter of finding interested student athletes...

Bobby won, but he did so without having his hands tied behind his back by the hill. When he saw that starting to happen, Bobby hung it up. Also, Georgie didn't have really good coaching until Dooley, IMHO. One could also say that now, even with the plethora of advantages that Georgie has, the...

Ha Ha... It may have been Frank Howard who first laid that description (syrup mouth) on Bobby. I recall seeing the Frank Howard show on Greenville, SC TV station a week before we played and beat (we always beat Clemson) them one year. Ole Frank (with his slow country drawl) said something to...

There are lots of great stories about Bobby. The slogan of the day was "In Dodd We Trust". I recall him addressing the players immediately after the last practice before the Kentucky game. He said, "Fellas, the odds makers have us at 50-50 going against Kentucky. That's all we ever ask...just an...

Merry Christmas to everyone. Go Jackets. :singing:

Mack and Rodney, We need an old timers site on the board where we can just talk about the good times and the good 'uns. Rodney, I had a chance to visit with Roger Kaiser a decade or so ago...heck of a nice guy, btw...and asked him if he could still drain the long ones. His reply: "Yep." He...

We appreciate the great info, Eric. Many thanks.

Much obliged, drew. Thanks for welcoming me here. :notworthy:

Thanks for the welcome, Mack. Esso, Santa, and the NSA are keeping a close watch on you. :cigar:

You guys can run, but you can't hide. Old Esso has followed you here from TOSs. I read a lot, but don't post much anymore...just like to keep up with what is going on in the Tech community. When it comes to GT sports, you guys are second to none for great info and analysis. Many thanks to all...
