Ah, now hold on a minute. That is suspiciously like one of those "false equivalency" things so popularized the last couple of years. When you see 6-4, 230-pound clodhoppers running the shotgun "option" it tells you all you need to know, when from under center the QB has .8 of a second or less...

Were you outside my house last night?

That opener might be the worst of both worlds. Clemson will come out with a rebuilt defense, but gets lucky with a rebuilt Tech offense that plays into their hands. Worse, they come out of the gate with what might be the best offense in college football. It could get ugly quick because Clemson...

That's fair, because yes, I am very much a show-me type and talk is off-putting, and Collins likes to talk. I am mildly optimistic that the new/old offense will make it easier for one of the QB candidates to step up to operate at least competently, given that the Johnson offense has remarkable...

How exactly? A contract is a contract is a contract., and those are signed in the AD's office. If the guy can just coach I don't care about all that peripheral stuff.

No, get ready for "pro style" 10-yard slants and hooks and an offense that is as slow as ever because of the trouble getting plays signaled in. The only thing new under the sun is what you haven't seen before. The vernacular sounds good but it will be routine short stuff.

Nah. Just wondered if you'd ever noticed the similarities in the helmets, though.

"Storm Trooper"? Really?

We really have to stop checking under the bed at night to make sure of of 'em ain't there.

Ah, "Forever Florida"? I think not.

I am not a Paul Finebaum fan -- his analysis before and after the NC game was laughable in covering Alabama's hind end -- but one thing he said should be worth watching: after firing a bunch of coaches to get better recruiters, he found he had coaches who couldn't coach and so started replacing...

We'll see, but about this "35 under 35": One of my former empl0yees was named one of the "30 Best Under 30" when his new boss simply nominated him. turned out the only true part of that was the "under 30" thing.

I'll always be loyal -- too many years and too late to change -- but it (on the surface) seems the AD has given the football program all the things denied over the years, and a bunch of additional staff, so, yes, I expect wins now. One key this season will be how he uses the roster with mostly...

For the record, regarding the original post of assistant coaches toadying up to the Big Guy with the press, Tech is by no means alone in this, and I am serious in that it is part and parcel of being an assistant football coach, one of the most insecure jobs in America. (Saban finished second...

Where in the world do fellows like you come up with this "hate" nonsense? Never met the gentleman, and unless you know that he helped the Russians steal the '16 election I have no reason to "hate" him. Words are too important to be strewn about so thoughtlessly.

Collins' assistants seem hand-picked for their skill at the No. One rule for assistant coaches: Don't get interviewed unless the interview is about your boss, and then ladle on the saccharin. Sooner or later this group of itinerant nomads have to actually coach, and then we shall see.

Well, if having that going on in your program is not indicative of loss of institutional control, a fireable offense, I don't know what would be. And if Georgia Tech, a school that cries wolf before breakfast every morning, actually owes a basketball coach $8 million dollars for firing him ... I...

My nomination for line of the week.

There was one around Bela Lugosi, too. (OK, lighten up. I am a Johnson guy, but that was low hanging fruit and a I took a shot.)

I don't know if it was a signature win, whatever the definition of that may be, but 2008 against Georgia, down two scores at the half followed by a blistering "pep" talk -- which apparently consisted of "if you don't want to play I am taking out your entire family and the neighbors on either...
