Better results = better PR. This is a very basic relationship.

Yet another victim of the transition. Griffin the Younger was a prototypical Woody style DT: strong, small, and quick. Then Woody lost his job as DC. (Imho, that was probably the biggest single personnel mistake made in the transition, though I understand that new coaches normally clear the...

Watch the last play in the highlight film. Right up the middle, slipping two tackles, keeping his feet (he's really good at that) for 21 yards. But your point about the OL is well taken. It takes a Mason to make his own holes. Tobias needs at least a crease. And now: no more from me about this.

Yes. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.

In the VT game I posted excerpts from he ran the ball 40 (that's forty) times for 215 yards. Tech attempted one pass. That's one. If you don't think there were LBs keying on him after the middle of the first quarter or so, I think you need to revise your opinion of Bud Foster. Who was the VT DC...

Hmmmm. Didn't watch the film very carefully, now did you? There isn't any set size for RBs; they come in all heights and weights. He's about the same size as Mason (6'1", 211). But, like I said, this won't happen, no matter how much sense it makes. Largely, I might add, because of...

!. Tobias was a redshirt junior this year, But he may move on anyway. 2. By cute I meant that he is hard to get a bead on. See: But I suspect you were jesting,

OK, Tech needs RBs. And the solution is a simple one: move Tobias to RB. He's big enough, he's cute, he's very, very hard to bring down, and he'a easy fast enough. Besides that he's already shown that he can run with the best of them. Imho, he's wasted at CB. So will it happen? Nah. Lack of...

But not Tony Head. I shudder to think how good he would have been as a BB in the spread option. The guy was a full scale horse.

Mason was one of those low 3s. So was Smith. The stars make a difference for 5 star guys, but the rest is a crapshoot, say I. Of course, you have to be able to actually sort talent to make any of this work. Harder to do then we think. Update: I forgot the obvious ploy for our RB situation...

I played under Coach Creel (or, to be more exact, he ran the team) too. And played at Dykes. Old home week, I guess.

Right up there with Roosevelt as the toughest team to play in Atlanta in my day.

This business of repetition actually works. Back when I was in high school - I know, I know - our "B-Team" was more successful then our varsity. (Btw, did you know that "varsity" is Edwardian upper class English slang for "university"?) Reason: our b-team coach was a purist. We only ran a few...

Good. Exactly the answer I wanted. No further complaints from this quarter. And thanks for moderating what I think is the best of all the Tech fan boards.

Well, the mods wouldn't allow a direct reply, so here goes. This line of reasoning has some good points. There is no justification for directly abusing either coaches or players in the terms the post mentions. However … This is also a chilling of speech here. Every now and then - like, say...

Meh.

Personally, I don't think anybody in the ACC will hire Monken; it's all that "the option is boring, kids don't want to play in it, ect., ect." stuff. And that's all for the best, imho. He may be available next year when we ditch Collins. And I'm also surprised that UVA let Bronco resign without...

1. Oh, really? Gibbs has a better burst, but look at Smith's senior film here: https://www.hudl.com/profile/4027421/Dontae-Smith Pretty quick, isn't he? He'll do on speed. 2. You're 100% right about Gibbs as a receiver, however. I don't know if Smith can catch like he could, but I do know he...

I know Gibbs is fast, but faster then Smith? Look at Smith's high school films; I'd say it's a photo finish. I think what Gibbs has is a better burst. When Brent Cunningham was at Tech you saw the same thing: one step and he was at top speed, just like Gibbs. Most backs need two or three steps...

I just saw this. Talk about a player who was hit by the coaching change, Tony is it. If we still ran the spread option, he would be in line to take over at BB from Mason/Howard next year. The young man was, as Paul said about Howard, "… a wrecking ball in high school." And if we had an OC who...
