One bird does not make the spring.

He has said it multiple times. We will never win the recruiting battle ... we will win the development battle.

A lovely thought. One that not even TStan agrees with. Todd has stated our strategy many times. We hope to land a good recruit. But there is NO expectation we are going to outrecruit our neighborhood. Our plan is to develop talent. Yes, a diamond will fall in our lap, but at the end of the day...

Butch wasn’t a low IQ coach. He was a no IQ coach. I got the inside scoop from players and letterman and poor Butch was in over his head. However ... he did stabilize the program. And Pruitt is benefitting from it. I personally predict Geoff will make the greatest transition in the history of...

I think it’s too early to tell. I do think we are playing better and that’s a good thing. re his press conferences, I can’t watch them either. They are exactly Like Butch Jones and his “brick by brick”, “champions of life”, “leadership reps” vocabulary. What ultimately sunk Jones was he lost...

Which college team has the perfect fan base? I’m from Alabama and grew up a Roll Tide fan. And there are plenty of fans who have negative views of the direction of that program under Saban. 17 natties and still unhappy. So I’m curious ... who has this uncringeworthy fan base?

And this is relevant to Tech’s uniform at the time, how?

totally irrelevant to the point.

I just watched Rudy (again). That, to me, is the Georgia Tech uniform. God I wish we would dress that instead of this blue bs.

Tech can and should compete for Coastal. To be a top program, the problem for Tech is recruiting, yes ... but it’s also facilities. The debt the AA carries has a huge impact on reinvestment. Add in a small fan base with changing demographics, and it compounds the problem. I would feel a lot...

I’m fine with his DC experience. It’s different when you’re the HC. I know tons of VPs who failed in the executive role. I guess we still don’t know what Geoff’s coaching philosophy is, so it’s hard to measure him against that. That is one thing I liked about CPJ ... his philosophy was well...

Running any organization includes recruiting, selecting, building, managing and rewarding teams. Recruiting isn’t enough. You also have to create a way to objectively evaluate performance and hold people accountable. It’s the whole process.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Recruiting was initially successful under Jones but died after he played players with concussions, fostered helmet fights in the locker room and forced players off the team. Well oiled? Not even close. As Pruitt and Fulmer both observed, the recruits...

Please step away from the edge and be sure to use your HSA before years end on some desperately needed medication. Did I call for heads? No. I said I think he’ll struggle to finish his 7 year contract. Did I make ridiculous accusations? No. Frankly, it’s on him to win games. He’s the head...

Everyone has their style. I follow Tennessee closely and love what Jeremy Pruitt is doing. He can’t schmooze, hell, he can’t even speak English, “a’ight?” But he can coach. His team is light years from where it was 2 years ago. He had a team meeting and told them of the 85 or so players...

I‘ve said this before. When I worked for USG, one of my colleagues had been a football team tutor at UGA. He said the kids couldn’t spell C-A-T. Very depressing.

i It would be interesting to see a refresh. But, Tech having being 2x ... is impressive

USA Today. I’ll dig up the ratings.

It bears repeating ... Georgia Tech is one of the Top 50 STEM universities in the world and still playing D1 football. Our kids average the highest SAT scores of any athletic program in the USA. There‘s only one word for that: Impressive.
