Geoff has said that if things don't work out as a coach, he'd be happy to work in the NFL in player development. I think that is where he will end up eventually.

Wanting to turn it around is not the same as being able to do so. Geoff doesn't know what he doesn't know. He's following Bobby Bowden's Guide to Rebuilding and .... it isn't working. Maybe this year is the Big Reveal.

In the event Geoff gets replaced, I’m sure he has a dollar figure in mind. He’s not coaching again as a HC at the D1 level.

There’s a legal concept called diminution of value. Unless he agrees, it’s a violation of his contract.

Exactly. I think it is highly likely that Long is the next GT HC.

I don't have the answer. Of course, I was at the Tit when Mark Price, John Salley, Dennis Scott, Tom Hammond, Craig Neal, Yvon Joseph etc ... ruled GT hoops. I can remember being at the fraternity house and leaving for a game 5-10 min before it started and getting a seat. After Cremins and...

Bobby Dodd said to never go for a field goal inside the ten yd line. Statistically, you'll score half the time inside the 10, so tack on the extra point, and it's scoring 7 vs. scoring 6. Was he right? Who knows? But that's what he said.

Ask Lane Kiffin. He says research shows that you are better off going for it on fourth. Why punt? Two reasons. First, at 7+ seconds, it’s the longest play in the game,statistically. So, if you are trying to burn the clock, punt. Second, reduce the probability of a score. Each yard translates...

Why did they move? Most likely, to get access to a larger fanbase. Which was my point in the original post.

Re pricing, entertainment pricing is not elastic. It is inelastic. That means demand for the product does not change due to a change in prices. Lowering prices simply reduces total profit because the the volume does not make up for the discounted price. FWIW, there are ATL area apps where you...

per ESPN, they don't care about attendance. Look at the bowl games. The stands are virtually empty. The SEC telecasts are a valuable property because of the large installed base of viewers which make up the demographics they are selling content for. Tech makes far more from TV than they do from...

No AD really cares about attendance anymore. They look at "touches" ... attendance, tv viewership, streaming, etc. The total package $ exceeds the value of attendance alone, so while it adds to the game day experience, it is not as important as it once was. As ESPN has said, they don't care if...

Hasn't it always been this way? Here are the teams in the NFL in 1930: Green Bay Packers New York Giants Chicago Bears Brooklyn Dodgers Providence Steam Rollers Staten Island Stapletons Chicago Cardinals Portsmouth Spartans Frankford Yellow Jackets Minneapolis Red Jackets Newark Tornados...

Here's some food for thought ... " College football ranks as the nation’s second most popular sport with 47.5 million fans attending games in 2019 and 392 regular season telecasts reaching more than 145 million unique fans and 38 postseason bowl games reaching 90 million. This is in a sport that...

This isn't the full story. Bill Belichick was asked about college recruiting and specifically, recruiting players who did not see much playing time at Alabama. He said he liked them for two reasons. One, they have played and practiced against the best, most athletic players in the game and Two...

No problem. I don't agree with anything you wrote, but I respect your point of view.

Most everyone I know does (have a backup). Here's the reality. Since the 2010 national championship game .... The SEC has competed for the national title in 9 of 10 games. Fifty percent of ALL teams competing for the national championship have been SEC schools, the only exceptions being OR...

Nevertheless, that is EXACTLY what is happening. That's why the bowls are dropping in interest (fast) and ESPN themselves are trying to accelerate it. Look at it this way. By the end of September, nearly 100 teams are already mathematically eliminated from advancing. The season is over...

It's not a rumor.

A previous poster noted that Next Year's Team is Next Year's Team and not This Year's Team. I think there is a lot of truth in that and I am excited for the coaching changes, so we will see. Having said that, I think we have 3 clear losses (UGA, Clemson, Ole Miss) and of the remaining 9, 5 are...
