    In all seriousness if we lose next week how bad will it get?

    No, we will be in the P5. Probably a lot like Vandy ... take the SEC payouts and do the best you can in sports no one cares about.

    Nah. If Tech beats KSU, he'll ask for a 5 year extension

    I like the guy who said he would donate $4.04 to the GoFundMe Buyout just for spite. 😂

    We called this "management by exception". The more you miss compared to what you thought you would do, the more (unwelcome) visibility you get.

    When will it happen again? I honestly have no idea. Based on what I see from the current coaching staff .... it's a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

    That's one of the reasons I liked the TO. Tech is the Milwaukee Brewers of college football. We don't have the $100M budgets, the huge fanbases, the swag sales. We're a small, niche school and we need a Moneyball approach to playing the game. The Brewers don't pay big salaries, they can't. They...

    One of my local colleagues went to all the games at Milton and knows Jordan. He said he is a helluva competitor but ... too small. Geoff doesn't like him because he doesn't see how he fits in the offense. I think he is fantastic because he's got enormous heart and a will to play.

    If what you are saying is accurate, Geoff should be able to articulate where he is in the journey and cite facts and metrics that confirm he is on track. He is stuck in platitude land.

    No, we will not beat them. Every organization needs an advantage to win consistently. We don't have an advantage. We are simply playing to stay in the club and not drop down, permanently ... to Bowling Green status.

    To be clear, I was referring to this year as a 3 win year. We may do better in the future, but I don't think we will ever be more than an average program ... six or seven wins a year. If you look at the facilities and resources at Alabama, Clemson, UGA, Tennessee, etc ... it is mind-blowing how...

    I don't disagree. But Geoff is building an "elite program" when he doesn't have "elite program" resources. I watched the Tennessee game the other night with a buddy of mine who played for them in the glory days. Being aware of the problems on the team from Pruitt's time, he still said ...

    When Should Collins be Fired (Poll)

    I will tell you. Geoff is a climber. When I worked in corporate, we had LOTS of employees who worked 24 months in role before moving on. That meant, they were in a perpetual state of interviewing for their next role. They never really had to accomplish much because once they made their big...

    I've calmed down a bit over the last couple of days. Not a lot ... just a bit. My musings ... TStan said he was playing a long game. Raise money for a new Edge, rebuild recruiting of "quality" 3 stars and use the new Edge and investments in nutrition, strength and conditioning to turn them into...

    When Should Collins be Fired (Poll)

    I'm waiting for TStan to declare his unwavering support for Geoff.

    Look, Bill Curry took a 1-9-1 team and beat Alabama in the opener. Geoff had 9 months to prepare for THIS. He can't coach. Last week may have been his high point.

    What would it take this year for you to be open to the idea that we're on the right track?

    I have no confidence in the coaching staff. To feel like we are on the right path means sacking all of them. If we can't do that, Geoff needs to shake up his staff and start taking blame for the product he is putting on the field.

    In business, whenever we opened a factory in a developing country, we never started with our most advanced products. We would start manufacturing our most basic products to give the new employees time to learn our management style, get familiar with expectations, and earn the right for more...

    Ouch. It's a dumpster fire over there.

    When Should Collins be Fired (Poll)

    I don't know why this is so hard to understand. This is the worst GTAA leadership AND the worst coaching since 1980. For the folks in Rio Linda, that's 31 years. Yes, it really is that bad. I really don't care if it's bad for this year's recruiting. The numnuts in charge are destroying GT...
