    Where do we go from here?

    My guess is that it was TStan and maybe Peterson. But TStan wanted Ken ....

    Where do we go from here?

    One.

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    Shhhh! TStan will call Butch Jones! It's all he can afford.

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    But that is how it works. You don't need to be smart if you have $$$. TStan threw all his weight into the money guys and they HATED the TO. Hated. They want a Cadillac but have a Yugo budget. But it's what greases the skids so TStan bent over and said, "Whatever you want boys'. And here is where...

    Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

    That's not the career path. More likely he buys a chain of tire and muffler shops or a bunch of Zaxby's. He can hang out with Ray Goff.

    ACC office may leave Greensboro

    Are you asking would a city provide an incentive for them to relocate? Yes. The ACC distributed $500 million to member schools. Most states (and some cities) have economic development departments that do just that.

    ACC office may leave Greensboro

    The most likely place would be near where a major airport is located or one with a large media presence. Seems to me Washington DC (or Baltimore) fit the bill, or perhaps Philly/NY. Richmond could also work as well. Atlanta works but ... unless there is a southern strategy, I don't think so...

    Non-player rumor from UF

    No way. Mullin literally laughed at Collins for making a lateral change. Dreaming.

    I look at it differently. Butch Jones was the seventh (yes, 7th) choice for Tennessee in the coaching search. No one wanted the job. No one wanted the job when Pruitt was hired. Literally. And this is a program that is Top 5 facilities, an incredible fanbase, huge swag sales, private aircraft...

    Expansion Talk 2021

    We can't even fill the seats in the stadiums we have now. If this is the logic, let's get Hawaii as well.

    Coach Dave Patenaude

    Bill Parcells talked extensively about “hidden yardage” and included punting in that discussion. If you can’t run it or pass it ... punt it and gain the yardage. Statistics show if you can win the field position game, you win ... the game. I think strategy has disappeared from football as...

    Coach Dave Patenaude

    Coaching career: Coast Guard Academy Springfield Fordham Columbia New Haven Holy Cross Hofstra Georgetown Coastal Carolina Temple Georgia Tech Not exactly the ideal resume for a P5 team. My theory had been that TStan would give Geoff more money to upgrade assistants after more legacy costs...

    Question about a coach

    Good reminder. But the days of 25 year runs are over. Finebaum discusses this and said that even for a successful coach, ten years is the max today. That’s why if you want to get a new coach, find all the ones who are 8-9 years in a program. They are probably ready to change.

    Question about a coach

    Curry decided it was time to go after someone chunked a brick through his window. His wife said she was tired of it and wanted out. Much like Butch Jones’ wife who was spat on at the grocery store.

    Ok we are 3-3 so what concerns you the most ( any thing but the coaches)

    I'm most concerned that ... we have to play another game.

    Tech favored over Duke

    Lyman Hall?

    Sorry. If you suit for the game, you accept the results.

    I have. And they have a firm grasp of the obvious.

    Tech favored over Duke

    I think we lose to Duke. And every remaining game this year. And after a heart wrenching “Win one for the Gipper” speech, we beat UGA, deny them the Natty, and extend Collins contract another seven years. And build him a statue next to ... Bud Carson.

    Recruiting or coaching

    It’s an amazing conclusion. In a sport where athletics matters, getting better athletes is a good strategy. Consultants charge money for this?
