He did not "deserve" the scholarship. It was offered to him by Louisville through its representative, the football coach. Whether the coach changes is not relevant. It was an offer from the school. I don't think I ever did a business deal with you, did I?

I know a fellow, good friend of Swinney, fan of program, and such as that bothers him, too. By "turf management" do they mean keep your lawn mowed?

Yes. It is a reason I have become more accepting, if you will, of Dabo Swinney and Clemson. As much as it frustrates me to lose to them by any score and certainly 3-4 TDs, there has never been even a hint that while he has ramped up that program and the spending for it that he has ever cheated...

We should get a peek at his much vaunted -- is that word still used much? -- recruiting skills. He still has time to flip a couple or three commits to other programs, if in fact they committed elsewhere because of the Tech offense. It would be good if he could pick off a couple of QBs who might...

A link? From 11 years ago? If it makes you feel better, I also recall him saying -- the first time I was irked at his abruptness -- that "I" don't want him, don't need him." Same conversation. No link either.

Yes, apparently it was Sean Renfree. My source? AJC and Johnson''s press conference after the decommit. So your answer is ....?

Anybody who can sell something can get a slot on YouTube. Knowledge is not necessary. Like this guy.

I suppose it just gets down to the basic question that represents all that is supposed to be the Institute -- and I am just regurgitating what I have read repeatedly on this board -- is the Institute's word good, or is it not? Louisville does not surprise me. GT saying never you mind would shock...

Cute? Cute? More than one hall of fame football coach has looked longingly at a practice field and observed that one cannot coach speed. If you watched any of the Army-Navy game, or for that matter any of a Temple game from YouTube, you see the difference immediately from the ACC. It is speed...

Would you clarify this for me? Is the "not half bad" a cheap shot? And "leadership at the very top" means ... what? Who? Are you waving the Clemson or FSU money model? I am not critical of it altogether, just uncertain of your meaning. You kind of zig and zag a bit so help me out here. Do you...

Collins has a few days left to flip one or more QBs, guys who might be waiting for February anyway. My uneducated guess will be that if a committed QB does not sign early,maybe he is not all that committed. But even with what he has he could weave a short game with a good runner and fair passer...

Brown was gone to Texas by the time that all started. What he did there I don't know.

Hardly. Duke, maybe, in the sense of its academic requirements. But the coaches at the other schools mentioned were all very successful elsewhere and did not forget how to coach. Rather, if it is a dash of cold water, their situations are what GT has with Collins now. As for Brown, he ain't...

I am counting on Collins being as good as advertised on the defensive side of the ball because he is going to have to reverse 11 years of unintended consequences: having to outscore the other guy. Now he will have to keep the other guy from scoring, and his points allowed at Temple the last two...

Now this makes sense. It may be recruiting babble, because if he thinks he can run a modern college game without options, he is better than any coach out there. (And that is not what his Temple team does, based on two games I have watched on YouTube.) As for what is NFL, it is short, flare and...

I am with you. I hope he wins, the bigger the better. But a caution: the tale of him recruiting all that talent .... I would like to hear from somebody who was recruiting for Tech at the time. As Twain wrote, if you put all your eggs in one basket, watch that basket.

I do all that in my business, but to replace a Johnson with a Collins at the same or higher salary? As was said about Obama in his first run for president, a man of no accomplishments? And if he won't take it, well, one does what one always does: keeps looking because if GT really is that good a...

Why in the world wouldn't you? What the previous salary was, in any business, is not relevant.

The better barometer is his contract was worth $2 million a year. That gives you a starting point.

Now, that is the innovative guy the AD claimed to be looking for.
