I am so looking forward to getting Camp back. Losing him made life for our QBs a lot more difficult on short and intermediate routes. As to the rest: many of our OLs don't need 10 more pounds. They need to solidify what they gained last year. It's like what one of Stalin's economic advisors...

Hmmmmmm. This could easily mean that Ted will be recruiting against Tech in metro Atlanta. This, I don't like. People can be divided about him as a DC, but there is no doubt in the world that the guy can recruit with anybody, anywhere. While he was up in North Carolina there wasn't a problem...

My nightmare scenario here is: We win 3 - 4 next year (not this staff's fault, btw), our recruiting begins to fall off, the fanbase, already disaffected, goes nuts, Collins goes half way through year 3 after 5 straight loses. The Bill Lewis scenario, iow. I fear this more because I don't know...

Ah. The European solution. I agree that if there was a "free market" solution - i.e. no regs on what athletes would be paid - then there would be no major college sports to speak of. I have no problem at all with that. Virtually every system of higher education (except ours) has no varsity...

No. God in Heaven above, no. Tech already has two persistent top 10 teams on out schedule. What we have to do is concentrate on beating one of them on a regular basis. Adding another obstacle - Awbun - to an already murderous schedule would, imho, kill momentum, should it ever appear. All Tech...

Balls. Paul and co. were on the road all the time and cast a very wide net indeed. (Like to, say, OZ and Germany.) What they couldn't do is send reps to possible high schools like Collins has. In part this is due to staffing. We just recently added more staff - I helped pay for them - and we...

Yesssss. Especially down at Sanford. Paul had more success there then at Bobby Dodd. Which is truly weird. And you think we're frustrated? Think about those poor, suffering gamecock fans. USCe beats them about once in a coon's age. They were party-hardy this year.

I think most of us would agree with Hobbes on this: I doubt we'll win the Coastal next year. We'll see going forward.

I think this misunderstands how Gailey coached. He knew he had a DC who could make things work. Provided, that is, that the O side didn't turn the ball over. He was a pro coach, basically, and had a strong aversion to mistakes. (It's different now in the pros, but not then.) People always say...

Now, now. Lewis was 5 - 6 in both his full years as head coach. He was fired because a) George was already in place to take over and b) we were 1 - 7 in his last year before he was fired. If Collins does something like that in his third year, he'll go too. Oth, I think there'd be a lot less...

My guess = Fleck and co. spied on Tech because they actually thought it would help. The only thing that would do that with Paul's O was if you had someone who a) got you the blocking calls and b) was sitting right there next to Paul when he made them and c) got on their cell real, real fast to...

They probably will. There's a long way until February and the pressure and poaching will have immense influence on the final results.

Doesn't seem to have bothered the teams he's coached much. As a head coach, he's 59 and 29 with three conference championships, 4 wins in 5 bowl trips during 7 years and two conference coach of the year awards (including one this year in the ACC). Given that his App State teams averaged 109th in...

What I thought was awesome about the Pitt game in 2014 is that I have seldom seen a team with equal talent on the field give a game away so quickly and completely. I was pretty sure that the Pitt coaching staff thought about sending an assistant over to our locker room in the middle of the...

I enjoyed the game myself. Remsberg (sp?), the goto AB for Air Force, reminds me a bit of Orwin Smith. Not quite as fast, but close, and a real jacker when yards are needed. In fact, Air Force reminded me a lot of the 2011 Tech team. Including not having much in the way of D. Looking forward...

No. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.

As to why Yates wasn't offered by other "P5" programs: he made it clear right from the first that he was going to go to Tech and wasn't interested in other offers after he committed. This does happen, you know. If a young man wants to go somewhere and the coaches have shown faith in him before...

Here you go. This is what Christmas is all about: It's surprising how little this is emphasized.

Well … he could have done what we did at Miami: use a lot more under center sets and use the "flex back" position for something more besides "designated bench warmer". With a blocker like Cottrell on the bench, we lost a lot of edge work that could have made - dare I say it? - option plays more...

Now, yes. In February, probably not. Check the last three years on them and you'll see what I mean.
