Fwiw, GT was predicted to only win 3 games in 2008 by the "experts." GT was expected to beat the Citadel this year. @Ibeeballin went to a lot of trouble to show that two of our better, most experienced OL were having trouble knowing what to do so it's not talent. After the Citadel game, CGC...

When you make excuses for why we lost the games and say that you don't expect better from CGC and staff, then you are saying you are satisfied whether you want to admit it or not.

Vegas thought we'd beat the Citadel. Only people who hated CPJ more than they like Tech could be satisfied with what we're seeing.

Some of us just aren't as satisfied as you apparently are with losing to an FCS team for the first time in 36 years or being held to fewer than 3 pts for the first time in 32 years. I'm still of the opinion that CGC can get things going in the right direction but for people to pretend that...

Thanks for the post, @Ibeeballin! You seem to be highlighting that the problem on our OL isn't talent. Instead, they were not prepared to know what they were supposed to do on certain plays or how to adjust to defensive stunts. I remember when CPJ identified a problem with execution like this...

IIrc, Claytor was back-up to Barrick at RT, and Voss was backup to walk-on DT Sean Bedford at Center. Those may be good examples of guys who weren't the best fit for CPJ's system. I don't remember Hill or Brown playing much, but I wasn't consciously keeping track.

I think that this is a really important point, but perhaps not for the reason you think. We expect difficult transitions when it takes time for the players to buy-in with the new coach. We saw that, imo, when Ross came to Tech after previous assistants had been interviewed. We saw that, imo...

As I've said before, when calculating my PPDvsPwr5, I don't count drives that end in safeties or end of half/game. So, for comparison purposes, I didn't count those possessions either. The rationale is that safeties typically belong as much if not more to the special teams as to the D.

It was still nearly 2ppd (1.89, 17/9) which is ave against a pwr 5 off. Don't get me wrong. It is the ave D we were hoping to pair with CPJ's O, but it's not yet a good D.

We fumbled twice and threw 1 pick. We punted 6 times and turned it over on downs twice.

To continue with the OP's history lesson. The 1986 team was 5-5-1 (3-3 in conference). There was huge locker-room unrest because of the hire of Ross. Still, Ross contemplated quitting coaching that 1987.

Perfect response. (the rest of the post is not directed to you) Buffalo scored on four of their five first-half drives. Our head coach is talking as if two fumbles were the difference in the game. I have no problem with a transition taking time. I still think it's possible, as I've said...

Serious Question: Are you getting paid? Did you get a nice swag bag from CGC?

Exactly. We're talking about the same coaching staff.

I think you're forgetting our run game coordinator.

I don't think it can get worse <ducks for cover>

Of the last 5 FBS coaches to return to play against their former team in their first year, CGC is the only one not to win. I think I heard during the game that 1987 FSU was the last team to hold GT to fewer than 3 pts. 1987 FSU was a better team than 2019 Temple.

I can't help you with a tailgate. I live in the midwest and don't get to any games myself. However, I can help you with some game experience. If we score a TD, you may hear some familiar music. So, you need to be clear of the words to the fight song:

It's Dentist Time CDT
