[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 356584, member: 2299"] A generic "great opportunity for me and my family blah blah blah" that usually goes on. The fact that he went into details about job security and the contract isn't the norm. Also I was in statesboro at the time. It wasn't a secret that he was unhappy with the way it was handled. To suggest he left because he thought the talent was bad because he couldn't recruit is a joke. He left because overseeing the transition to a higher level with a conference title and bowl victory wasn't good enough for him to get adequate job security. His two real classes featured 13 3*s in his first class, and then 14 in the next. Summers has plenty of 3*s to work with but hasn't developed them worth a damn, and still can't coach. The issue this year with GSU isn't talent. It's 100% coaching. It was last year and it is again this year. Wesley Fields as a freshman averaged 6.8 ypc and had nearly 700 yards. He's at 4.2 ypc this year. Matt Breida went from 1600 under Fritz to 600 yards last year. 7.9 ypc to 3.8. Last year the returned Ellison and Upshaw along with Breida, and regressed HARD on offense. They should have been better last year than they were the year before, but too a huge step back. Then they lost all the guys who had done well under Fritz but struggled under Summers, and replaced them with guys that Fritz didn't have time to coach up, and you're getting what you get. To blame this year on Fritz is a joke. It's 100% on the bad hire of summers and his bad coaching. Summers himself is a returnee from the Van Gorder disaster with no prior head coaching experience and hired the OC from the Chris Hatcher days last year. The fact that he went from Cook to the guy who was OC when GSU tried to ditch the option is telling. There were other option coaches they could have gone after for OC but didn't. The truth is GSU would have been better off hiring Cook as the HC instead of Summers. [/QUOTE]
