I believe he did. Hashtags on jerseys too.

For a guy who schemed for 20 years to get his dream job, he is remarkably tone deaf to the culture of the school. I said that when was hired ... “he might win games, but he will lose the fan base.” He still thinks his ONLY audience are players. He better start loving butts in the seats. Saban...

I don't disagree. I think it's inevitable that Collins is going to be replaced. So TStan can either prepare for it either through transition by molding the team or ... as you said ... setting hard targets. Either way, the message is clear: Fish or cut bait.

I get where you are coming from but ... I WAS that guy. I was sent in with a basic message of ... "I'm here to help you and if you let me help you, you get to stay in charge and keep earning the big salary. If you don't, I will replace you and you won't be. Your call." Collins has already had...

Of course it's acceptable. You know why? You said it yourself ... "I don’t think Collins is gone until after next year". Because there are no consequences, there is no reason to change. And TStan has almost no leverage over Collins because he has no funds with which to make a move. We are...

Yawn. Let's look at some figures. How large is the UGA alumni base? 340,000. How about Auburn? 225,000. How about Tennessee? 340,000. Compare that to Tech ... at 166,000. Add to that the fact that most Tech alumni are not local, and it's easy to begin to understand the attendance trend. When I...

In corporate, we would ask, "What is the best strategy ... we can actually implement?" I think the theory of what Geoff is trying to do is fine. The reality is ... we can't implement it with our resources and academics.

That's why we went with Paul Johnson. I think had we funded him at least a little ... we would be that Moneyball team. No .. we want to try to be the Yankees.

COLLINS RETAINED: - #Elite4Eva! COLLINS DISMISSED: - #WhoYaGonnaCall?

I think a better question is ... of the 64 team in P5, which coach would see Georgia Tech as a step UP from where they are today?

In the hands of an experienced coach, I think we would have won 7 this year. So, yes ... I agree with you.

At the moment, none. Geoff is a damaged brand. I can't see any coordinator worth his salt climbing on the GT bandwagon until we have stabilized the program at much higher level.

Almost all irrelevant to my point. My point is the Heisman's and Dodd's of the world were proven or known before taking the job. Dodd apprenticed under Alexander for decades. Geoff had almost no experience. About the only thing you can conclude from your post is that Geoff was willing to...

Heisman was an established coach at Auburn and Clemson before coming to Tech. Dodd played for General Neyland, probably the greatest football mind of his era. Broyles apprenticed under Dodd. We found Geoff at a bus station near Philadelphia. No discernible tree or skills. Dan Mullen wasn't...

That's a good one. I thought of Eddie because Eddie was a good guy, a player's coach, but totally inept as a manager.

He wasn't nearly as arrogant as Geoff, but Geoff reminds me of Eddie Haas.

Yeah, but ...we're thiiiiiiis close!

Almost none. Let's look at Total Revenue, which is comprised of ticket sales ($10.8M), ACCN ($32.2M), Contributions - unrestricted ($3.5M), Event related revenue ($16.7M), and Other Revenue ($10.3M). Football contributes to ticket sales, event related (almost all of it) and that's it. So, yes...

I don't disagree with the importance of the two main revenue sports ... football and MBB. Regardless of performance, GT will still receive $32 million from the ACCN. That's why Vandy will never leave the SEC.

Bruce Heppler has done a helluva job with golf and raises a ton of money. My recollection is that he has the nicest suite at Bobby Dodd. Even better than the AD suite. I *think* that is where we are headed. Use the ACC payouts to reinvest across all athletics and try to get to the point where...
