Many times an individual can have great success working in a good system. Often times that same person is not capable of creating a good/great system for others to work in. This is how I see Collins. I don't believe changing coordinators will have the impact we desire. Early on recruits, fans...

I have to wonder if Collins has goals for the program beyond wins and losses. He brought his brand manager from Temple to "re-brand" GT to excite the fan base and help recruiting. I see it as a distraction from the reality of the program. With 5 or 6 wins and an occasional upset win this might...

My fear is, with the transfer portal and the ability to play immediately at other programs, our program can go down quickly after a string of losing seasons.

What I get from Collins is that we should be encouraged that we are losing better than before.

I can agree with what has been pointed out in this post as it applies to most of our opponents. For Citadel, Syracuse, and NIU these excuses don't fly. This is what makes the "cool aid" difficult to swallow.

Six wins, all against teams with loosing records. Losses to Citadel, Syracuse, and Northern Illinois. There is no way to feel good about the program at this point. Coach keeps saying we are improving. We need to be able to measure improvement with wins.

I hope they are overconfident.

The primary factor in fan support, ticket sales, AT contributions, game day attendance etc. is wins. Everything else matters, but pales in comparison to wins.

It's only the biggest transition because he chose an offense that is 180 degrees from his predecessor. He could have evolved into the offense that he prefers, but that would ensure a longer transition and possibly fewer wins over a 5 yr period. He chose to "run through the mine field" so to...

Will Adidas be able to have a Sims or Gibbs shoe?

Who decides which players are the "face of the team"? Would it be part of recruiting to bargain with a high potential player to increase their NIL value? https://ramblinwreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/2021-schedule-scaled.jpg

There's 4x to 5x more Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame fans in the ATL market than Tech fans.

Take a look at baseball. In addition who's to say a high school kid can't compete at the professional level? Why mandate that college football players must wait 3 yrs to go pro? Oh, it's for their own good.

The choice for high school athletes should be turn pro or agree to a minimum of 3 years college athletics. This is the process for baseball. In some cases the professional contract will include college tuition. The NFL uses college football for player development.

I think the academics have a greater negative influence on transfer student athletes due to "progress toward degree requirements" https://www.ncaa.org/about/division-i-progress-toward-degree-requirements . A student may have enough hours to be eligible, but not enough that applies toward a...

Locker room dynamics could get interesting. If your NIL has high market value and you don't share with the supporting cast.

GT will not be able to promise the same rewards as UGA, Clemson, NC, ND, etc. We don't have the base. The rich will get richer with the ability to pass it along to the 5 and 4 star players.

It all depends on how long Coach Collins and AD Stansbury can maintain the optimism and enthusiasm of the fan base without wins. So far they have only told us how good it's going to be, we have to believe in the strategy, and be patient. Each year with poor on the field performance will erode...
