[QUOTE="Techster, post: 884210, member: 360"] Outside of coaching, GT's issues have gone back many generations. It's not a surprise to anyone...and it's mentioned often when hiring coaches. My issue with CGC is coaching. Pure and simple. I actually like everything he did to raise GT's profile, and I love that he doesn't back down on the recruiting trail. We just had a 4 star RB re-commit to us. I'm not sure I've ever seen a 4 star decommit then recommit to GT. Usually once those level of players decommit, they're gone for good. CGC and staff kept working the recruit and got him to recommit. To me, that's a sign of a good recruiter. I think if CGC were here back in the Stephon Tuitt days, GT would not have lost him to ND. That said, CGC has me worried about the on the field product. His calling card, defense, has been one of the worst defensive units in all of college football. You can't blame that on "historical transition" or getting "his guys" in. Our defense has been the most talented (according to recruiting sites) side of the football team since we got here, and there was no "triple option personnel" issues. Most of our 4 stars are signed to that side of the ball. After 3 years, CGC should have something to show for it. We didn't...in fact, I believe CGC's year 3 defense will go down as one of the worst defensive units GT has fielded in a long time. That's like hiring CPJ for his triple option, then the offense sputtering rushing the ball. I can overlook the offense, as there was some serious personnel issues, but when your offensive FEI (#78 in 2021) outranks your defense (#112 in 2021) in year 3, that's a BIG issue in my book. Both sides were bad, but the side CGC made his reputation on was historically bad. [/QUOTE]
