No one, of course. (I leave aside the "quality" of TFG.) What would have happened if Paul had given TStan the extra year he pleaded for? My guess = he'd still be at Tech and Fritz would be in his fourth year as HC. I'm willing to wager that the reason TStan wanted that extra year to a) soften...

Not to mention being fast, fast, fast. That squad has better team speed then any outfit I've seen since the great Mildren/Watts Okie outfits. Ugag will have its hands completely full.

I like this and I hope Kelly is right. And Key too, of course.

I understood you. As I said, Tech has done ok in recruiting after a really good start over the last three years. Most of the players recruited have been roughly the same that we brought in under Paul and Gailey; i.e. high to middle three stars with a 4 star or two and a reach or two. And we will...

1. Saying that TFG "coached" is, imho, a stretch. We saw the difference pretty directly when Key took over; suddenly Tech was playing even-steven ball and beat two ranked teams with the same assistants. Other then that, the point is well-taken. You go to war with the team you have, not the one...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And in the last four years we had a 9 win season including the curb stomping of an SEC team in a New Year's Day Bowl and a 7 win team that went to a bowl. And choosing that time frame includes the 2015 injury disaster where both sides of the ball suffered crippling injuries and...

Well, you can make another set of circumstances if you wish. Perhaps the entire team would have transferred in disgust, though that's looking ahead three years, of course. But if Cooper had not been able to play and Braun transferred, the starting OL would have been: Quinney , DeFoor (he'ed...

Just went over and looked at Wake's returning QBs. Suffice it to say that their room is full.

This, as I've pointed out before, is just plain silly. In 2019 Paul would have had: Oliver and Graham at QB, the Two-Headed Monster (one of whom is now second string RB for the 49ers) at BB, Cottrell (another pro) and either Smith or Malloy at AB, Sanders and Carter at WR, 3 of 5 OLs back and...

Watch their game with Clemson, did you? They lost in double overtime by 3 points. Same with UNC and Puke. And they won their bowl game and finished with 8 wins. I'd like to see something like you are talking about myself. But, again, I doubt Tech can get "five to eight plus 4* per class"...

I left at the half and as I went down the steps I yelled at a section of Tech fans, "What should the score be right now if Johnson was still coach? 24 to nothing!" They all looked surprised and a few gave em a high sign. Never did anything like that before and I hope I never have to again.

I think both Paul and Chan were exemplars of what we need to do at Tech: recruit skills that fit and develop them. That's what Wake has been doing and very successfully too. The Deacs came in at 52 in the 247 rankings. Does anyone doubt that three years from now Clawson won't have that class...

I couldn't agree more. I said earlier that I thought our OLs were carrying an extra 10 - 15 lbs over their best weight; they seemed to have a tough time moving into blocking lanes. There's training for the beach - from the pics of the weight room that seemed to be what we were aiming for - and...

And a 310 lb right guard and a 305 lb center and a 280 lb left guard and etc. etc. etc. The OTs were lighter because they had downfield blocking responsibilities and their blocks were more difficult. There were plenty of OLs left over; the problem was finding a scheme that could use them. TFG...

I would have said the same thing before 2014. You never know when the lightening will strike. Like you, I think we have too many issues on O to be a big winner next year. I'd say our ceiling there is about 5 - 7 games. The schedule is more addressable. We'll just have to see. As to recruiting...

I've been a Key fan since he was a player. I think it is now clear that one reason that the OL didn't perform as expected was TFG; they improved considerably in the 8 games Key was IHC. I'm pleased, overall, with his staff picks, though I wonder about the O for next year. The O guys he picked...

I agree that the NCAA was behind the ball on this. I think, however, that the organization is worth too much in other ways to get rid of it. The main thing is that without the NCAA to make national decisions the door would be so wide open that - wait for it - Congress would step in. They've done...

In many ways - all of which I liked - this conference reminded me of Paul. He obviously thinks that highlight films are just that and that the way to find players he likes is to, you know, actually watch them play. He also seems to pay attention to what their coaches think. (I would like to hear...

Well … it always looks like that. But these things run in cycles. Right now Ugag looks good largely because Bama is having a down year. And, of course, Tech is down as well. But that doesn't mean that they are invincible. We'll just have to see. And as to Faulkner: Oh, Hell no.

The only example of a classic market I've ever run into was the municipal market in Barcelona. It was divided into sections of equally sized stalls specializing in particular foods: one section for cheese, one of fruit, one for vegetables, and so on. Each of the vendors had pretty much the same...
