I think our talent is at least top 50, but say top 65. In my opinion expecting top 10 performance from top 65 talent is magic. Expecting top 65 performance from top 65 talent is not. Expecting top 45 performance from top 65 talent is where GT coaching needs to be, imo, so that when we get...

Mine was just a nearly random sampling. I found those examples in like 2 min. My point was that he didn't just praise Curry, he used it as opportunity to attack our program's lack of NFL draftees the last few years.

I hear you, but I think there's often stuff like this that go into close games. I suspect the biggest difference between us might be that I think the ACC as a whole has been better (giving more credit to their opponents) and that we've been worse (giving less credit to our opponents).

I believe a majority of the wrong-thinking people are right.

Seriously, I think a lot depends on how we view the tale of the two halves vs unc. I just looked at some numbers on the two halves. 1st half GT ... 0.00 ppd ... 3.4 ypp NC ... 2.83 ppd ... 5.0 ypp 2nd half GT ... 3.14 ppd ... 8.8 ypp NC ... 3.50 ppd ... 6.1 ypp So, if you think our...

I'm pretty sure that he and his staff recruited/developed the players. He took credit for them when he coached against them, so I think he'd disagree with you saying he wasn't involved. It was his OC and DC who called the plays, so again I think he'd disagree. It is true that his departure...

The last time our coaching triumvirate faced Duke--with a team they consider more talented than ours and with their schemes fully installed--they lost 56-27.

Again, I agree with the theory. I simply dispute with its application in our game. We have not been a good defensive team this year, imo. I thought we had improved to the average D which we were hoping CPJ could field, but I don't think that's the case. If we had done better in the first few...

I don't think we need to speculate about competition driving it. His step-father said distance from home is the driver. Ma Tech being Ma Tech drives missing ma.

I remember threads in the past dedicated to looking at projected underdog-opponent's fan predictions. I remember thinking it's a no-win situation as the fan of a poorly performing team. You can predict a win and look delusional or predict a loss and look like a bad fan. I mean, we can hope...

Welcome to the forum. It's a good question. I thought I knew the answer. Seriously, though, I think Collins is doing his best to do both. I may question whether his best is good enough, but I'm hopeful that he proves me wrong.

By some standards, we already are. :unsure:

I appreciate your post and perspective, but I disagree somewhat with your comments about our D. I mean, I agree with your point about having to play D against 100 hurry-up plays, but I'm not sure that tells the whole story about our D. Here are our first half drives on D: Drive 1: 8 plays...

... not when you think about it

I will say it again: I want CGC to do well here. I am hopeful that the attention paid to establishing the juice and energy and effort culture will pay-off when our offense and defense begin to click. However, we need to be honest that we haven't seen it yet. Those saying that our fanbase...

Coach also praised David Curry for getting 16 tackles in the game and observed that this hasn't happened since 2006. Our Defense faced 97 plays. Whether or not it is true has nothing to do with it being a pot shot. A pot shot is just a random attack/criticism, especially when there's not an...

I was comparing 2019 salaries. Comparing salaries 10 years apart makes little sense. You do make a point about bringing up Dabo 2009. He played in the ACC Championship his first year.

But am I right in saying that we don't cut-block the back side?

Potentially-Overly-Sensitive Alert I really with CGC would refrain from taking potshots at the previous staff. Even when it's true about our lack of getting guys drafted over the last couple of years. When you're taking over from an offense that was #11 to #19 in efficiency depending on metric...
