I think so too. I have my doubts about probable success, but we'll see. As I've said before, Tech coaches normally win 6 - 7 games a year and there's no reason why Collins can't too. The question comes with national rankings and major bowls, something many here seem to expect. I also question...

All you have to do is look at the record of Tech coaches and one thing immediately stands out: the ones with innovative offensive schemes tend to have the best chance of consistent winning and hitting the heights. The others can do ok - Chan did - but have problems getting to the upper levels...

If you are up there now, stay put. If not, get back soon.

Hmmmmm. Seems a lot like "accepting mediocrity" to me. But, yes, looking more like a team on the field and winning a few more games would be an improvement.

I agree with this, but it leaves out one thing: expectations. By now the folks who wanted Paul gone are getting a bit anxious. They expected a lot of Collins when he came in and so far, despite increasing talent levels (as those are fitfully measured), nothing much has happened. I think we had...

Not to mention a former 3 star RB who outperformed 1 of them in ypg <cough> Mason <cough>. I might also add that the highest ypc is another 3 star: Smith. You can check the season stats. I'd say the RBs are even deeper then most people think. Query = will the OL give them a hole every now and then?

I'll be watching KSU as well. One problem = they just finished their 2021 spring season on 10 April. Iow, when they play Tech they won't be waiting for the leaves to change for the O to be cooking; they'll be essentially picking up where they left off. Nothing like playing 6 regular football...

Yet, as the graph above shows, our performance has deteriorated. Hmmmmmmm. It's been pointed out here before: performance is a product of good athletes and coaching that can take advantage of them. I don't think there's much question that we are doing better in recruiting. It's the second part...

And it happened later. When Tech went to the 2004 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise it was the first time many (there were a lot of young men from South Georgia and Florida) of the players had seen snow. They were treated like kings by the bowl; it was the first time they had had two southern teams...

There's another reason. Tech still has a very young football team, especially since everybody got another year due to the disease. We didn't have that many people who wanted to forego another year of ball and try to go pro. We'll see going forward.

1. Dodd, like Paul, knew what he wanted and went after it. Prime example = Leon Hardeman. All 5'6" (with lifts) and 175 lbs of him. Not all that fast either. But he became an AA (he was drafted by the Colts but joined the US Army instead). Dodd saw what others didn't; i.e. that he was almost...

I don't expect much for the coming year. The reasons given above for improvement overlook that other teams in our division and league are going through the same process and have a lead on us. As I've said before, let's get to 4 wins and see what happens. That's a possibility by mid-season but we...

I was one of the poor saps who went to the (I think) 2015 spring game. I have never been so cold and wet in my whole life. None of us in the stands were watching the game with any attention; we were all trying to get far enough under the overhangs in the East stands to keep out of the rain and...

My favorite on this: Tech was playing LSU. The Tigers came out on Friday and did an hour of knocking. Then Tech took the field and played - wait for it - volleyball for 45 minutes. The LSU players weren't impressed. Then came the game. Here I'm paraphrasing an LSU player. "We were hitting them...

You're right and if Gibbs puts on that extra 10 (or, I'd advise, 15) lbs and learns to block, he'll get his chance. But … I think he's a shoe-in as a WR at the next level. But all these speculations are based on last year. I look forward to seeing how a year in the training program has helped him.

That won't happen. This is one of the reasons I suggested moving Gibbs. We need all of our good players on the field in places where they can contribute. But … Gibbs won't be moved, even though it would help his NFL prospects. Even if he bulks up another 20 lbs, he won't be the model RB the...

I'm going to risk a big flameout with this. When you look at Gibbs, who does he remind you of? I've heard a lot of answers to this one, but mine is … wait for it … Calvin Ridley. He's as talented as any of the recent crop of Bama WRs, arguably the best in the country in the last decade. Given...

I always thought FSZoo had a NIL program.

I came under football coaches where such stuff was looked on as a childish distraction from the job at hand. Consequently, the less, the better, imho. But … this seems to be part of what you get with Collins. If he thinks he needs it to succeed, so be it. Oh, and all this ATL business was...

Eggsackley. No need to make this harder then it is, especially with THE SEASON OF DOOM, PART DEUX coming up. We could really use a season where we don't have to play seven games where we aren't favored to win. This is up to the AD. Get busy. NOW.
