I disagree with this. The medium sized schools are the ones pushing for rules changes, transfer portals, etc ... to get an advantage. The problem is, the advantages soon skew to the larger schools with deeper pockets and resources. Quoting Nick Saban re the transfer portal (being against it) ...

Another board addressed this well. The administrator made this comment ... "The reason I don't believe that parents and recruits put any real stock in message board comments is because they have participated on them. This is the first generation of parents that has first hand knowledge in...

The trend is NOT positive. His record speaks for itself. You can cite indicators that might suggest it will improve, but has it? No. Might it? Maybe. Just to add, and I have said this before, there are no consequences for poor performance at Tech. We tend to tolerate poor performance rather...

No offense, but try to push that narrative in any Fortune 50 executive level meeting. I would give you 5 minutes before the CEO heads for HR to have you replaced.

We heard, weekly, in Geoff's press conferences ... "We did not execute well in the game. Our goal is to play to an ELITE level and we will be doing a top to bottom review of EVERY aspect of our program on Monday and we know what needs to be fixed and we will fix it." THEN ... we found out that...

Don't you think it is important to be realistic? Metrics mean something and the best way to interpret them is to calibrate them against a standard. It's not about being happy or negative. It's about setting competitive goals and evaluating your performance against that benchmark.

You can watch or not watch. If it interests you, watch. If not, watch something else. Personally, I enjoy watching college football even if the two teams are not in hunt. The Tennessee-Purdue game was damn exciting, yet neither team had anything special to fight for ... just fun football and a...

I agree. Commentators get a set of talking points from each press office and just read. I have the SEC Network play in the background and it doesn't matter who the pundit is, the words are almost identical. There are a few good ones, but overall ... not a lot of originality.

CPJ AVERAGED 7-8 wins a year. But consistently? No.

Tennessee has been a toxic mess since at least 1998. I guess you could argue that Fulmer contributed by stealing the program from Majors, but one of my best friends played for Fulmer and described him as a class act. Whatever. I think I stated that Tech is attractive to a lower level coach...

Sorry. The "rest of the nation" didn't care. They care about as much as what happens to Holy Cross when playing St. Bonaventure.

Jimmy Sexton represents 11 of the SEC head coaches, 7 NFL coaches and has a Rolodex of up and comers as long as your arm. I agree ... CPJ was no secret and even if TStan did not have a slate, I'm sure Sexton did. And agents do the same type of "fit analysis" that executive recruiters do. We're...

You're confusing eras. Mike Leach and Greg Schiano were both in the "replace Butch era". I'm referring to hiring of Butch Jones, not his replacement. As to CPJ, yes ... his agent did connect with UT. And Auburn as well.

Why do you find this so hard to believe? When Tennessee sought to replace Lane Kiffin, the Vols were 10 years removed from a national championship, had Top 5 facilities, a rabid fanbase who bought swag in truckload quantities and no serious in state rival. And yet, Butch Jones was their 7th pick...

I think the decision has already been made. My understanding from inside the GTAA is that Collins need to win 6 respectively and/or make a bowl to keep his job. Any 50 point blowouts are a definite no. The problem for Collins (and Cabrera) is that the money has spoken. No more bucks if Collins...

Officially the Board of Trustees would do so, but that power is concentrated in the President of the Board who is also the President of Georgia Tech (Cabrera). Unofficially, as soon as the money dries up, Cabrera would be forced to take action ...

Possibly. But few who wanted the job.

Geoff, in his words, has spent too much time on culture and not enough time on football. I think if Long demonstrates that he has the chops (through his performance), that is all he has to do. Geoff will determine his own fate.

What credentials are you looking for? Collins wasn't exactly what we asked Santa for .... it's who we could afford. This is right out of the Homer Rice model ... surround a struggling coach with his replacement so you aren't caught flat-footed.

I would be willing to bet that if Collins is to be canned, Chip Long is the HC in waiting.
