Honestly I’ve come around to the idea of the head coach being more of a CEO than an X’s and O’s guy. I think the national championship game this year of Dabo vs Orgeron leads credence to that.

Completely disagree. We will only gain recognition if we beat good teams.

And I guess this will be one of the topics that GT struggles with forever. I understand your pride in your degree. As someone who knows they could have never have made it through GT academically I certainly respect those who did. With that said, I would argue pride in the degree can be taken...

What? I mean...just look at how many losing seasons Stanford had before 08. The Rod Gilmore quote actually came from ESPN's college football 150 series. They were discussing the best coaches to coach in both college and pro. The comment was made when discussing Harbaugh who i believe...

I'll ask you the same question I asked another poster earlier. How does articulating your view on a public forum help the situation? I'm not saying that this debate will alter the course of GT athletics mind you. I am saying however that the overall negative perspective about the capabilities...

That is not as good as Gailey! Gailey never had 1 losing season. Much less 3. It was the greatest stretch in Stanford history until Harbaugh so you can understand the sensitivity a Stanford grad would have about it.

I just looked back on this remarkable 7 year stretch Stanford had from 95-01. LOL!!! They had 3 losing seasons in that span. And the sad part is that was the best 7 year stretch I could find for Stanford going back a good while. Jim Harbaugh deserves a medal for what he did with that program.

Good deal. Say you are right. Stanford wasn't considering dropping D1 football. It still doesn't change the fact they were a GOD awful program! I mean depths our Jackets have never seen. Yet they turned it around. Stanford is doing well now but they are a bad hire away from returning to...

Do you just make stuff up. My goodness at least research a little before you make such a bold statement contradicting someone. Stanford had losing seasons in 19 of 25 seasons from 81-06. Stanford Alum Rod Gilmore is who said they were considering dropping D1 football. Take that statement up...

Before Harbaugh Stanford was considering dropping D1 football. Nobody thought they could achieve what they have done before a single coach turned around their entire outlook of their program. My comment was really to all the doubters in our own program which is far more tradition rich than...

My question remains.

Stanford doesn’t have the ceiling we have.

And saying this helps how?

In many ways I think the perception of our program is stronger out of state than in. I think there is an angle we can play for Atlanta kids but recruiting more than 20 miles OTP will be tough in state.

Nope. This year has been a flat embarrassment for the conference.

Not getting into this. Johnson was a great coach. I’ll leave it at that.

This just solidified my belief in Johnson as an offensive genius. This is an all decade team and there just isn’t a lot of talent. Very few played at the next level. To deny Johnson’s ability as a coach is foolish.

Wow was Miami bad!

Miami’s offense is worse than ours. True story.

It’s funny you mention Quincy Avery. My son played soccer with a kid whose dad works for/with Quincy Avery. He just flat out told me they tried to steer kids away from GT under the previous regime. He says the talent level of the team will be considerably better in a few years. He loves Collins...
