    This reminds me exactly what happened when the Knoxville newspapers, which are ALWAYS pro Vol football, finally turned on Butch Jones. Ugly doesn't describe it.

    Paul wasn't fired. He quit. Tech wanted to fire him though but he won big in 2014. And you're right ... we wanted to make the leap from averaging 7 wins a year to 8. That's what drove the decision.

    It's fact. TStan had an option to raise money by either going after large numbers of small donations or focus on a few large guys. Pareto Rule and all of that, and it's 5-6 guys that raise all the money. And they HATED the TO ... even in 2014 and a trip to the Orange Bowl. They want to be...

    I get your point. But if you listen to the AD's, they measure eyeballs now, not so much live attendance. It's nice and creates a good game day experience, but fans have multiple ways to watch a game. I watched the fans at Auburn last night ... half the stadium emptied at half time to watch the...

    This is the crux of the current state of football nationally. TStan was correct when he addressed this when hired. Paraphrasing, "Football will split into the have's and have nots. My goal is to make sure that Tech football is still relevant and a member of the Haves." However, one thing TStan...

    I think the reality is that Georgia Tech is stuck in a rut with a head coach who can't ... coach. And we don't have the money to get rid of him nor any viable options to make a change. We also don't the money to hire even decent assistants, so we are truly in a bind with the folks we have...

    This reminds me od Eddie Haas. Braves players loved him, but he was not MLB material. The Braves fire him and go on to the World Series with Bobby Cox.

    I know, right? How about just working on coverage? That would suit me just fine.

    No question. But it wasn't about winning. It was ... "we want a pro style offense". I'm fine with just winning.

    Look, you will know it's bad with AD's suddenly want to schedule Tech for THEIR home opener.

    Don't forget. He's taking names of people that criticize his elite program.

    I hate this, I really do. I've donated for years and bought season tix. For years. But based on tonights lack of performance, I don't think we win a game this season. It's the same culture BS. Everyone is happy, but one one is winning. That's not a good recipe for a team. Winning isn't some...

    I actually like this and it is the honorable thing to do. But I don't think he's going to walk out on millions. Better to be embarrassed in public and cash the checks.

    We don't have the money. But, I was assured that TStan was "laser focused" on fixing football. So this is on him ... if he has any credibility left.

    AD's don't care about attendance. They care about eyeballs. And if the ACCN is sending in a check every year, attendance can be zero. It's not football anymore ... it's programming content.

    Does that really help? I mean, Geoff's performance is out there for all the world to see. It's their board, but hardly helpful. In fact, you can make a case that it undermines confidence in the program by propping up incompetence. But I get it. Politics.

    Dear Paul .. I know now how much I loved you even if I couldn't express it. I was so confused. It's only now, after we have broken up, that I realize how lucky I was to have you. I don't deserve you. Please accept these flowers as an example of my love for you. Please call me and let's have...
