  1. Nomenclature in Football

    What a fantastic thread.
  2. Thacker out at DC, now Safeties coach

    Whether the defense actually improves or not, it shows BK was willing to do something, and to do it fairly quickly. I like that.
  3. Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

    because it's fun! Vad would not have done what Justin did. But when he was on as a thrower, he was on, and a joy to watch.
  4. Great AJC Article

    We had the #19 offense in the country (OFEI) in 2018 despite crapping the bed in the last two games. That’s not 100% due to Braun and Bryan. We would have been good on offense in 2019, and the only delusion is thinking otherwise. Our ability to field a good defense in 2019 is a more useful...
  5. Great AJC Article

    You’re dead-on about Oliver being the worst passer. I don’t know if it’s true that he *refused* to pitch; instead - and perhaps strengthening your point - he simply did not run as many true option plays as the other QBs. That’s not to say he never ran any, because he did. He even ran some...
  6. So far, so good ??

    This is such an insane statistic.
  7. Portal Watch 2022-23

    I am roughly the exact opposite of a Collins apologist, but the charitable interpretation of his retweet(s) is a desire to increase the visibility of his guys already in the portal — that’s not anti-GT, but just pro-guys-he-loves.
  8. Official: Brent Key is Georgia Tech Football's Head Coach

    I think we’re in the twilight of college football as we’ve known it. This may be the last GT hire within the current paradigm. It feels like a good one to end with.
  9. HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    I just can’t agree on the passing side. We threw mostly in proportion to the talent we had at QB, WR, and AB. Pass attempts/game 2008: 12.7 2009: 12.0 2010: 12.9 2011: 12.8 2012: 13.9 2013: 15.6 2014: 14.5 2015: 16.0 2016: 12.2 2017: 10.7 2018: 9.7 2013 was a weird year, but we certainly...
  10. Jahmyr Gibbs & what might have been...

    Everyone talking about stats and draft position - isn’t it possible the kid doesn’t like to lose and saw that the situation wasn’t likely to improve in Atlanta?
  11. Sims is gone.

    Jacket137 compared him to Vad, which makes sense. Vad did very well at JMU after leaving and is still playing, it appears. I hope Jeff sees the same success. Vad had higher highs while at GT —- remember UNC or that overtime loss to UGA where he was chucking it all over the field? —- but Jeff...
  12. HC Candidate/Rumors/Info Thread

    Would prefer Chadwell or Key (or a flexbone guy of course), but this isn’t terrible.
  13. CPJ AJC Article

    “Let’s move forward. We’re not going to talk about the past, we’re moving forward.” I liked that a lot. Johnson wasn’t asking to be feted after retiring - he just wanted the program to move onward. I think it’s interesting that it was with Ken. Some of his postgame responses to Ken’s...
  14. Your choice for Head Coach

    Leibniz says we live in the best of all possible worlds, so we're in the clear.
  15. Your choice for Head Coach

    Since Key is going to win against the Dawgs, he will get the job. Simple as. Not sure why there's any consternation.
  16. What can GT expect in OFEI and DFEI rankings with current recruiting numbers?

    Just so I understand the terminology, what are we calling “Moneyball” here for recruiting? I suppose my instinct is that someone like Darren Waller was a “moneyball” recruit, insofar as he was a mid-3 star guy who was being recruited as a safety by other schools. Our coaches saw potential as a...
  17. Coach Brent Key Scenario

    Interesting hypothetical. Key beats the #1 team in the country and top rival, wins a majority of the games for which he serves as head coach after taking over a disaster, and likely takes us into the top 25....and we say: "Thanks, good luck at your next stop!" Would be unprecedented, I'm sure.
  18. What can GT expect in OFEI and DFEI rankings with current recruiting numbers?

    The defensive numbers are fascinating. With how much salt should we take Woody's lone campaign in 2018? That dropoff from Roof's last year is pretty dramatic. I can't recall if there was some rash of injuries and/or departures that made the poor performance more justified. Looking at the game...
