  1. That should be Geoff’s last game as head coach

    The problem with htis is that it misses why Kirby has been able to deliver (slightly better) then Richt. I don't think it has too much to do with Kirby. It has a lot to do with institutional commitment. And here I give Richt credit. I think he actually wanted UGA to win without the entire...
  2. Post-game presser

    Well, I could have answered that question, but I'll admit that I wouldn't have had a $3M salary hanging on what I said. If he was John Mckay and had even a little bit of wit he could have turned the question around. But one thing I've noticed about Collins is that he really doesn't appear to...
  3. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    Yessss. Let's see Marshall when he had time to throw, shall we? TaQuon could throw the ball. His problem was that he seldom got the blocking he needed; he didn't have a quick release. So, he ran a lot. He was effective there too. Still, I don't think he would have been a QB if Ratliffe and...

  5. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    I might also point out that, like JT, McCall is a riverboat gambler on pitches. Recall that pitch JT made in the 2014 Ugag game to Deion Hill. He was in the grasp, pretty much like McCall above, and made the pitch for a 20 yard gain.
  6. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    Well, since you insist … I was at this game. I have seldom had so much fun at an athletic contest. Oh, I bet you meant the 2009 game. Well, this one is more typical. Update: Watch Peeples in this film. Looks like he's hardly moving, doesn't he? But, laws, he was fast.
  7. Letter from Todd that came in the mail. Whole paragraph on football. Notice how he mentions funding for coaching positions.

    I'm sorry. Now it's very simple for me. If you don't fire Collins, you don't get money. I don't give enough to make any difference - we aren't rich - but what little I have won't move until I see a commitment to deliver our players from this situation.
  8. Moneyball

    Hmmmmm. Maybe the film can tell us what's going on here: Yep. That's it. Tech's situation is a direct analog of what Billy is saying here about the As. One of the things I liked about Paul was that his program was Moneyball. We went after players other people overlooked that fit our way of...
  9. Best of both worlds

    Bingo. There's something else too. I don't mean to be disparaging (oh, wth, let's just do it) but there are a good number of football fans who flat don't know that much about the game. Those people have a tendency to like to carry on about the talents of particular players and how they are going...
  10. Roddy Jones Says It All

    Tell it, brother.
  11. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    Paul wasn't that worried. Somebody asked him about the D inconsistencies once and he said, "All I ask is three stops a game." Sure enough, when we couldn't do that we had trouble. I used to sit in the stands and count the number of 3 and outs.
  12. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    You're right, but it was not to be. Reg hurt his ankle when he was mid-season in his junior year. He wasn't effective running the ball after that. Also, Chan wanted to protect him since there wasn't a viable alternative. Too bad for us, because you are 100% right here. If Reg could have run for...
  13. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    This is true, but often due top Paul not being able to keep or hire the DCs he wanted. And some of those Ds were decent. And Woody has proven himself at Army. But this is a long standing Tech problem. It is built around having a hard time finding, then recruiting DTs. Shoot, we had to go to OZ...
  14. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    Hmmmmm. 10 - 27. Or, to be more precise, 10 - 27. So much for the bold.
  15. The reports of the TO's death have been grossly exaggerated

    Then you'd like this: Now, if you watch closely, you will see that even their OL isn't cut blocking. It's drives all the way. And The ABs and WRs are all using regular drive blocks. Notice also the number of pancake blocks they are making. This is because of a problem the TO creates for...
  16. Any news?? (stage 3: press coverage)

    This is going to sound insane. Why don't we hire another coach to take over as assistant head with operational responsibilities and the stipulation that his contract will be re-negotiated at the end of the season? That way we can keep Collins until January 1, hire somebody new (or not) when his...
  17. Georgia Tech football stats - 9/19/2022 - It's worse than you thought

    Gaius Marius would be more useful. We need the whole Tech fanbase around getting rid of him.
  18. 10-27 under Geoff Collins

    Yes on both counts. I was worried when I saw our "transformed" OL the first year. The idea seemed to be to get everybody's weight up. And, of course, to build muscle. I saw better strength and conditioning at my son's high school then that. What we have now is a bunch of relatively slow and...
