It takes guts to win when the odds are against you and it takes discipline to win when the odds are in your favor. It's a special coach and a special team that can do both. I feel like GT has tended to show more guts than discipline, i.e., played played up or down to the level of the competition.

There's a lot more to monetize than the stadium name. Tackle for loss: 97.1 Classic Hit Third down: ACE Cash Express Down Team record: So So Def Record Homecoming game: Truist Mortgage Homecoming Game

Survivorship bias!

I should have said best alternative curve instead of desperation curve. It would trend lower over time. My apologies to all fellow engineers.

ICBK gets hired when his performance curve crosses above the desperation curve. If a Very Much Win candidate shows interest early, ICBK may never have a chance. If the search is still dry and it's time to start recruiting then he whatever he has accomplished may get a longer look.

1. Expand the HSrecruit&transfer base. There are different possible dimensions: 1a. Relax academic standards. I personally don't like this route at all. I think it is unnecessary and probably hurts the brand more than it helps anything. 1b. Help HS athletic programs develop student athletes...

Sometimes you get Kevin Durant. Sometimes you get Greg Oden.

Sorry. I am in a voluntary blackout of ESPN. It's actually kind of nice.

Who in the ELF is Paul Finebaum?

Personally I have two must-haves. Don't embarrass us on the field, and don't embarrass us off the field. I think ICBK would have to show quite a lot of juice to have a chance at the permanent job but if he turn out to be elite, don't let him go.

Since we are tossing out names with impunity, I am going to go with Brady Hoke. If only we can get good Brady Hoke and not bad Brady Hoke. Although I have some questions. 1) What really happened with Lucas Johnson? 2) What really happened with Michigan? 3) What's with being really hot some...

It's more than just W-L. It's trust. The persistent basic coaching issues evident on the field, lack of reasonable explanation for why they are persistent, and questionable team management stuff that wouldn't necessarily be a problem but with the basics not getting covered ate up patience even...

How people feel on the outside is important. Without taking this step now, people -- potential recruits, potential coaches, potential donors -- could easily have figured this is just GT football from now on. It's hard to replace that sort of idea later if you let it set.

I am curious what impact the Tstan decision would have on attracting coaching talent. On the plus side for keeping him, he has been loyal to his guy. Nobody can deny that. On the minus side, maybe coaches would not like to be associated with him because that imparts association with CgC...

People. Read the post. I didn't say the fundamental problem is revenue. Read it again. I said that NOW that we have an underperforming team with a big buyout for a bad coach, and NOW that the credit cards are already maxed out, and all the other bullet points, the path forward needs more...

It won't... take a lot more money to fix things? I must be missing something. I thought the reason CGC wasn't fired last year was not enough money for the buyout and a new staff. I thought the reason he hasn't been fired this week is not enough money for a buyout and a new staff. I thought...

Hmmm. No, not trying to make excuses at all. We had plenty of money to do better. I'm saying that it will take a lot more money now to fix things, and the money to fix things needs to come quickly.

I accidentally posted a reply to the thread and not the reply. Now I can't delete it.

I agree he has made strides, but his credibility as the face of the fundraising is increasingly compromised. With AD as chief fundraiser, unhappy fans are going to speak by withholding money, which can turn into a death spiral very quickly. I'm not an expert on the regulations, but economically...

More than ever, football is a money game. We are facing a perfect storm of money issues. Debt already on the books Bad HC contract for a bad HC Attracting and keeping a staff that can right the ship is going to cost a lot The NIL dimension Conference realignments and the consequent revenue...
