[QUOTE="Pointer, post: 884197, member: 4719"] I hear you, but I don't think it's about that. As discussed above, I think last year there was enough money to fire CGC, but not enough to hire a new staff. This year the buyout goes way down, which changes everything. Hear me out and I'm not trying to be obtuse. The main thing CGC had going for him initially was a recruiting uptick. That seems to have gone away. That, I think initially bought him some leeway. If you don't have that and the best product you can put on the field after 4 years is 6 wins, pairing it with a disgruntled fan base and major boosters clamoring last year, it's tough to see a scenario where you keep CGC for going to a low level bowl game. Now I think he's actually hired a decent offensive coordinator and he has a punchers chance of hitting a 7 (competitive 7) win or 8 win season. It would be hard to fire the guy if he finally gets something going on offense. Given that CGC has the coaching chops defensively, there will be hope he can turn things around on that side as well in future seasons (again he must show some life first this season). And I admit to disliking CGC. He grates me on just adout every level. At the same time I know he's been a good position coach/coordinator in the past and he can recruit. I would love it if he were successful because that would be great for Tech. I'm just looking at this season realistically. I don't think anyone outside is the program would say we didn't give him a fair shake if he were let go at the end of this season though. The summary here is, it's do or die for this staff and the margin for error is tiny. [/QUOTE]
