FWIW, Geoff mentioned “The Process” at Alabama. The Process is a psychology mindset that is focused on doing the right thing, on and off the field, and owning one’s personal responsibility and accountability for the result. Saban talks about not worried about winning but, rather, executing...

Most coaches are not good at communications which is why the the AD supplies them with communications directors. These guys should be preparing briefing docs and coaching Geoff on what to say. It could be as simple as ... “We had a tough game. We want to win them all, but we aren’t focused on...

I listened to Geoff’s entire presser and only wish I could have my 35 min back. The response to every question can’t just be, “We’re gonna love these players, love these coaches and love this program.” At some point, you have to talk results. How? Geoff would be well served to talk not in...

My comment wasn't directed at Paul. It was simply looking at Tech in general. To be fair, doing the same analysis by decade would probably be the most objective. The years you mentioned are interesting though. Here's the summary: Granted, 2009 looks like a great year. But 2012? Highlighting...

re GT, no legitimate coach wanted to come in and have to deal with the retooling of the team from the TO to a more typical system. I think Geoff will do it, but I also think his ceiling is 7-8 wins a year. He'll lose to Clemson and UGA every year and probably 2-3 others. That said, I think he...

Here's a slice of reality. In the period 2011-2019, here's the average winning percentage for each team in ACC Coastal: GT is not exactly lighting it up. We were an average team in an average division. No one in Coastal averages 8 wins a year.

CPJ was an experiment. Even he said that. Can the TO work in D1 today? No. Kids today come into a program wanting to max their social media. That is not happening at Tech under the TO. I don’t think Tech has any illusion of being NC again. I think they will be very happy being a legit 8-4. And...

“Coach, what did you think about the game?” ”Great game against a good opponent.” ”Did you get your *** kicked?” ”We ran our game plan and are pleased with the results.” ”What flavor milkshake is your favorite?” ”We don’t have time for milkshakes. We‘re building an elite football program”...

To add to this, Auburn ... which is not recruiting as well as it used to ... has operations and alumni support in all 67 counties of Alabama. Does Tech have operations and alumni support in all 159 counties of Georgia? I would guess not. Collins is a good recruiter. Time will tell what his...

In all honesty, I love the TO. It’s something Tech could have been the master of ... You should hear Nick Saban talk about the TO. He thinks it’s a phenomenal offense. But it’s also one that is outlived. The reality is ... kids want to be part of the sports-entertainmen-media nexus. And that’s...

Who knows? What’s driving student athletes today is “earnings potential” especially that based on NIL. Tech ... is simply too small a school to move the needle compared to big land grant schools. Having said that, I do think there s a lot of kids who would rather be king in Atlanta than back up...

You have big donors (big for Tech) who think we should win the national championship every year. They HATED the TO. Regardless, I think in today’s environment ... Tech would struggle with the TO. I loved it. But, the game has changed.

This is close, but there’s more. The GTAA (and the donors) wanted CPJ gone after 2013. As in GONE. He had lost internal support and the AD was cutting off his air supply. Then 2014 happened and ... they were stuck. Everyone thinks CPJ was loved by all. He wasn’t. He was a good guy who had...

I’m fine calling it a rebuild, but, let’s consider two points based on a study of thousands of games: If the offensive team gets the ball, first and ten inside their own 10 yard line, the chances of them marching down to score a TD is 90-1, unless a long gainer of 30 yards or more is made by...

Perhaps he’s thinking, “Honey, I’m going to take tomorrow off. Let’s go to an undisclosed location and watch the colors turn. For about a year.”

I agree with this. Yes, he will flip the roster, and make the job desirable again, but Geoff will probably end up washing Saban’s car with Butch Jones.

Honestly, TStan may not survive. This is his choice ... watch season tix renewals next year. That and donor levels. I’ll bet he IS getting an earful right now.

I was thinking the same thing. Team time picking uniforms each week: 20 hrs Practice: 30 min

Collins: “We are building an ELITE football organization and a high performing team. We did exceptionally well in all facets of the game today. Boston College is an outstanding program, the Clemson of the North. Had we scored five more touchdowns, we would have won. I told the team at the half...

The sad part is, TStan is 100% focused on fixing football. Feel better?
