I'm with you. I was thinking about going to the game with Ole Miss; they're my third favorite team after Tech and Mississippi State. I'm a season ticket holder and have been for 27 years. I decided not to go and I'm glad I did. I'm probably not going to another game as long as Collins is coach...

All of you people seem to think that Tech couldn't just walk away from the contract. As my wife the attorney says, "Contracts are made to be broken." Let him sue, if he wants to, but chances are if Tech fires him NOW he'll want to negotiate a longer buyout. Why stay? It is obvious that he's lost...

Hmmmmmm. Let's see about Army, shall we? Well, I hear you say, that's Villanova. True, but they were ranked 5th in the FCS and I doubt Tech could beat them. Oh, and watch and see if the downfield blocking appears to have suffered. I've seen one game - Air Force v. Wyoming - where this might...

Some reporter once asked Rich Leach why he had left his starters in in a game where Texas Tech was already up by 70 points. Quoth Leach, "It's our job to score. It's their job to stop us." I don't completely agree with that; I'd have let up, just like Paul usually did. But Leach was right...

That's it and that should be enough. There's no reason to make these fine young men suffer on the cross any longer. Fire him. NOW.

You forgot (perhaps on purpose) Les Miles too.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Moncken would have taken the job then, but no one asked. There were other spread option coaches who would have jumped at the chance as well. There was plenty of interest in taking over from Paul among option coaches. The problem was that no one wanted to ask them if they...

I think the main difference in the competition isn't what happened at Ugag, but what happened at Tech. During all the Richt years we mostly had close games with Georgia, under both Chan and Paul. It is Tech's program that has lost the competitive edge, not Georgia's that has gained it. Kirby is...

13 - 10 > 6 - 18. Seriously, however, every coach has a bad year every now and then except at the factories. When Paul came on board most everyone was saying that they'd take a Chan-like 7 win season so long as we reached the heights occasionally. And we did. And I'm pretty sure most of us now...

Hasn't shown up on the field, now has it? He was, as I've pointed out before, 34 - 15 at UF and had multiple 9 or better win seasons at MSU. Frankly, that's the only reputation I'm interested in. And I think he'd take the job. Give me my druthers, I'd go after Bohannon or give Moncken a call...

Or we could simply hire a successful P5 coach who will take the job. Iow, Mullen. He's not my first choice, but we aren't in a buyer's position. He can develop players - especially QBs. He can recruit and if he can sell Starkville (I've been there), he can sell Tech. And he can manage a game...

The old saw on this is that every AD has a set of backup choices for every head coaching position already in mind. I hope, for his own sake, that TStan does. I also hope this means Collins is gone. We'll see, I suppose.

Smith should be getting 20 carries a game. Full Stop.

Yes. One of the reasons Paul was given his chance at Tech is that it's recruiting situation and academic specialization is very similar to the academies. At the time, I was very optimistic about hiring him because of just that. As you say, our main problem since is that a continuing tun of...

Yes. I watched Army today. He could and can do it. But I think he'll stay at West Point until he retires now. Maybe Bo0hannon will give us a look.

Too late, probably. But think what some of you would be complaining about if Moncken had gotten the job. "We still only win 7 - 8 games a year!" "We'll never win an MNC with the spread option!" "We keep going to second rate bowls!" "Our recruiting could be so much better!" "We only beat Ugag...

Yes. That's it. I've told this story before. I'm sitting at a Tech game in (I think) 2011. We were doing the typical for those days: 4 yards and a cloud of dust. An old guy (and that tells you something; I was 65) behind me suddenly started grousing, "I want some excitement! Why can't I see...

Yes. I couldn't believe that. To make my point on this: takethepoints, takethepoints, takethepoints, takethepoints, takethepoints. That was pretty much the end of the game, imho.

The Brits call this a "council of despair". We should not pay attnetion to it.

I think the one thing that was clear by the middle of the 3rd quarter is that Collins has lost the team. There's no reason to allow them to go through another season with him. If we do that, a good number of the players will transfer. Including all the ones who have anything like a chance at a...
