I think Sims was a victim of poor coaching. There is no doubt that he has talent and that, with the right coaching, he can be very effective. When we beat UNC in 2021, I thought our coaches would see the light, tell Sims to get ready to run 15 times a game, and let him go all Marcus Mariotta at...

Like the Vietnamese general said to the US colonel when he pointed out that the US Army won all its battles with the AVN, "True, but irrelevant." That Georgia beat most of its opponents as badly as they did Tech doesn't make it any less a rout. What I want is close games where Tech has a decent...

As I've said before, I think Key's biggest asset is that he's affordable. It is true that the team went through a lot this season and performed well in some games. Tech beat Pitt (8 - 4), Puke (8 - 4), and UNC (9-3), two of those away. The team also lost at home e to UVA (3 - 7) and da U (5 -...

All I have to say about speculation along the lines above is that I was seldom more surprised (or pleased) then I was when, out of the blue, Tech named Paul coach. There was some speculation about him, but most people were talking about Neuheisel or somebody else. So I'd keep my powder dry...

Yes. Too many mistakes to win. Oth, the plays that led to them weren't too bad and you can't blame the game plan for drops. The coaches had obviously watched the Ugag - UK game and we tried to do the same. But the guys who were open often didn't cooperate. A few observations: • Given the time...

Really? As Paul pointed out, we led the nation in rushing in 2018. And we had the core of that team coming back. Either Tobias or Graham (him, I think) at QB, the Two-Headed Monster at BB, Cottrell and (probably) Christian Malloy at AB, and the kind of senior/junior OL Paul liked. The D would...

Yes. I think TFG didn't have a sound idea of what he wanted to do with players. But it isn't all on him. The big fan beef with Paul was, "He doesn't recruit! Just look at our rankings! We can do better than that! Why are we recruiting players who other P5 schools have ignored?" (Why this went on...

t's a there way tie. The kick and the pick and the 1999 game are hard to beat. However, I know I've never been happier at Grant Field then I was when Tech beat Clemson in 2011. Unrankeed against the #5 team in the country with two of the best players in Clemson history in Taj Boyd and Sammy...

Here's an interesting post about this. See: https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2022/11/why-did-it-take-so-long-for-analytics-to-have-an-impact-on-the-multi-billion-dollar-world-of-professional-sports College football is, I think, trying to reach the same kind of homogeneity of scoring that...

As I said in another thread (or maybe it was htis one and I'll be damned if I'm going to check) I think Pyron, in particular, would be an easy player for Chadwell to recruit to stay. He's another McCall waiting to be coached out of his shell. I think most of the players would be enthusiastic to...

I said it about UNC and, as Kentucky showed, it applies even more to them: play good D and sit on the ball like a slug. The less time their O has on the field, the better our chances. Further, again as our friends up north showed, it doesn't take a lights out O effort, provided you keep them off...

I was traveling so I missed watching or even listening to the game. South Georgia and Florida are not prime Tech broadcast territory. I said - and I come close to quoting - that the way to beat UNC was to play good D and sit on the ball like a slug. We came very close to that formula yesterday...

Just saw a YouTube with Paul and Mack Brown. The discussion got around to running up the score. Brown: "I never let my QB throw when we were up in the late 4th quarter." Paul: "Neither did I." Merriment ensued.

And 5 years from now how will people rate this team? By who they played or how many wins they had? The wins, of course. They will probably win 7 - 8 games this year and they will have that to sell to the next Stan Jones. The whole point of scheduling to win is to make it easier to recruit...

I hate to say this, but their minds weren't changed by civil discourse either. Oth, I agree that, aside from the always necessary strong interchanges when people are making donkeys of themselves, it is best to keep to the data and arguments made from it or to ethical philosophy and arguments...

And you have accepted that there is no uncertainty in college football. But a moments consideration will show that isn't true. What if, say, Oklahoma State or, more likely, Texas A&M came to Kirby and offered him the farm to switch. I think the chances are 40-60 that he'd stay at Ugag under...

And, I might add, even a great athletic advantage doesn't translate into constant wins. Coaching does make a difference. When John McKay left USCw, they had the same athletes and had some further success under John Robinson, but it was never the same level as under McKay. After Robinson it's...

I've always liked average stars better as a way to compare recruiting classes. The overall rankings are a product of the number of stars and the number of recruits. One reason Bama and Ugag ranked so high overall is that they usually get very full classes because they chase athletes off. One...

1. Ya think? 2. I think most any return at all would be better then Gibson for an entire game. Now watch: Gibson'll beat UNC single handed. There's a reason I'm a fan.

If he had even a year of coaching experience at an ACC school, I might agree with you. But I don't think he would know what to do with the job if he got it and I don't want Tech to teach him. I don't see any upside - besides headlines and you remember where that got us - to him being our coach...
