Geoff Collins' Temple team beat USF last year 27-17. I'm gonna say we copy the Wisconsin gameplan, gain massive yards off of run plays with Oliver, build a big lead, then occasionally switch to a passing attack with Johnson and Graham to pad our stats and hit some big plays for the croots in...

247 maintains a total team talent ranking based on their composite ratings each year. I saw that with the start of the 2019 season, they updated their rankings a couple days ago. While ratings aren't perfect, I think when you start aggregating entire rosters you get a clearer picture of the team...

I had always been interested in plucking Mark Helfrich out of retirement and hiring him as our OC (or HC in waiting). He transformed the Chicago Bears from a bottom 5 offensive team to a top 10 one last year. He fizzled as a HC, but his offenses at Oregon were always a lot of fun.

Malachi Carter got some really huge praise from Coach Pat, as he did in high school from @Yomanser ;). Jalen Camp has got the years of experience under him and Tyler Davis may be our best offensive player according to reports. If A. Brown can keep his cool as a freshman walking into Death Valley...

I don't see anything in that video as "taking shots at CPJ," he's just trying to change the national narrative about Georgia Tech football. He's not fabricating false narratives, I think you're just looking at the end of year rankings. Keep this in mind, he was at Georgia Tech from 1999-2001 and...

This is branding hype video for the program. What's he supposed to say? "I'm from Atlanta, I love Atlanta. Okay, well, I'm actually from Conyers, but it still counts, right? Hashtag OTP. Anyway, when I was growing up, we were in the top 10 maybe once or twice. We've won the ACC, like, what? 3...

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that Sylvain Youndjouen is ATL at DE yet. That's the big surprise for me. I heard he was physically impressive, but a long-term project. He's ahead of a lot of his peers already.

If I remember correctly, Coach Collins and Coach Lew sat down with him early and were like, "NFL tight ends are generally your height, but 255 pounds. Can you get to that?" So Davis put on 20 pounds in the off-season, but kept his speed and flexibility. He won't be getting knocked around by...

The coaches are supposedly super high on him. He'll transform the offense on his own and will make the QB's lives a lot simpler. He may be the most important player on the roster to keep healthy, especially considering the lack of depth behind him.

I thought I'd include this tidbit here given the connection to The Athletic. In the ACC preview by their head CFB guys (Mandel, Staples, and Feldman), Staples listed his "assistant on the rise" as Andrew Thacker. Also, the projected win totals were 6-6 (Mandel), 5-7 (Staples), and 3-9 (Feldman).

Considering he inherited an athletic program that's like $200 million in debt, he seems to be doing really well. I've approved of every move he's made so far and have loved most of them. The only thing I thought was a bit weak was our deal with adidas. We got great apparel value, but virtually...

Randy always came off as pretty level headed and fair to me, he's like the anti-homer. I remember Dukes and Bell would try to get a rise out of him during Hate Week and he'd always be like, "It'd be great if we win, but I'm not going to get too upset if we lose." GT callers would call in and...

THIS GUY HATES SICK KIDS! ;)

I appreciate the input. I thought Collins was on his way to having a great 2019 season at Temple, it seemed like he was building his program up. Maybe I'll check out old Temple player interviews and see if they give off a similar excitement to how we see our players speaking now. I understand...

Why do you find the ATL strategy bizarre? It's unconventional, sure, but it sounds like Russo only got his shot because the ATL strategy meant he'd get his chance to play. Seemed to work as intended. Personally, I feel ATL is one of the more clever things Collins has implemented at Georgia Tech...

That team (and apparently Bud Foster as well) has quit on Fuente. He's on a pretty hot seat right now. Funny enough, I've heard some rumblings about Manny Diaz's tenure already getting off to a rough start as well and that there's some locker room problems. Trouble in the Coastal. Whereas Geoff...

An analysis video from when he originally committed to ND:

You're not refuting my points. You're instead diverting to debating the idea that we're now publicly labeled an "effort-based program." We were talking about bringing in a player that you think quit on his team so he's bound to fail here. I am saying Collins has explicitly mentioned that effort...

CGC has shown he's only bringing in high character guys he knows will fit in with his competition and effort-based culture. Clayton, Ezzard, and Sims have been great performers in camp so far and would be impact players if they gained eligibility. They have all competed. In contrast, we took a...

I agree with @smokey_wasp, the problem with Butch Jones was that no one was buying what he was selling. He would lose games and talk about how it didn't matter because his players were the "Champions of Life." The guy was memed as a total weeny. Jones was similarly a marketer, but he was out of...
