FIFY. We haven't been competitive with too many teams for the last few years. I also wouldn't count on Da U, FSU, and UNC continuing to flub up in future. We need what has always saved Tech's bacon: an offense or defense (preferably both, of course) that is hard to stop and is tuned to the...

I'm not. I don't think that approach will work and I think the evidence is on my side so far. We'll see this year, but, frankly, I don't expect much change. Then we'll see what happens. Because something will.

Yes, and the question is why? I've written here before about the unrealistic expectations of some of our fans and - dare I say it? - of our AD and coaching staff. It shows up no where more clearly then in our scheduling. Our athletic department seems to think that insuring a tough schedule will...

Lest we forget, here's Sean's best call: I'll miss him.

If it does, then some of the new kids will stay. Letting all of Paul's staff go didn't work out so well and we can hope that the lesson is learned. If Collins goes, that is. But I'm guessing that they'll all go because I doubt sincerely that a raft of new coaches can make that big a difference...

I didn't go and spring "games" always suck. Full stop.

I hear where you're coming from. Perhaps this is a difference of temperament. My take would be to be as sure as possible that the person returning kicks had the highest median (gets rid of outlier long runs) return. I can see going for somebody who can break one occasionally, but Juanyeh did...

Here it is: And now they've contrived to double these peoples's military budget … Notice the horsetail standard out front.

Easy answer = Randy Rhino. You really don't need to be all that fast to return kicks effectively.

Yes. You can easily get injured returning kickoffs. That didn't happen to Gibbs, but every time he lined up back there I cringed. This doesn't apply as much to punt returns.

No, he didn't. If there was a single thing that could show the sheer and complete incompetence of the present staff, that is it. My guess = the pros are looking at all the film. That'll settle it.

I think a team will take Thomas at a mid-round, get him to return kicks, and never ask him to do anything else. He's really good at it and is big enough to make the extra 3 - 4 yards after a hit. He would be a good SS, but he could be a great special teams player. Good luck, Juanyeh!

Yes, and it is too bad. There is such a dramatic difference between attending a game and watching it on TV; it is like night and day to me. But I'm not the generation that could fill the seats in the future. That's why I think we had better turn the program around and right fast too. If a...

Yeah, people keep talking about offense as if it was a show with only one person - the QB - responsible for what happens. Let me make this comparison. In 2015 we had a veteran team - albeit with some real losses to graduation - with some talented new comers coming back. Everything looked good...

He played both QB and LB in high school. He moved to LB, then got a tryout at QB that apparently didn't work out. He's been an LB in the games, however, and a talented one. I'm not sure where this "athlete" stuff came from, unless the staff is considering Knight for a couple of positions still...

For some reason they are listing Knight as an "athlete". He's an LB and a pretty good one.

I'm not sure how that happened. I was editing the second post and, all of a sudden, both posts went up. Too late to get rid of the first, however. Sorry for the bandwidth.

This is the equivalent of all that business in Moneyball about getting on base. You can't score runs unless you get players on base and the more you get the better your chances are. In football, the equation is different: only the team with the ball can score. If your team holds onto the ball...

The thing to remember about such stats for the 2014 team is that we held the ball for so long. The differntial was low because the other side never got the ball long enough to get ahead. Good idea for future Tech teams, btw. NB: that Wake in 2021 is right there with Tech. Somehow this figures.
