[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 803597, member: 4334"] You are right. I should have said ”local press”. Collins has been very savvy so far and the local media have played nice so far. Bit don’t think for a second they aren’t waiting to pounce on the GT coach. The minute he missteps they’ll be all over him (I’ve seen it for decades). But I disagree about fans and alumni. They simply don’t matter in this day and age because they are predictable. To say without them there are no sports is correct but that doesn’t mean they matter. GT is 18-28 over the last 4 years. And we still have fans buying tickets and the games are still being televised, right? GT is still bringing in TV money right? Collins just won 3 games each in 2 years and he wasn’t fired, right? Point is, as any team starts winning the stadium fills up and when they lose the stadium empties. Whether the coach is out there slapping backs doesn’t matter anymore. If a coach wins he’ll keep his job, period. If he loses he’ll eventually lose his job no matter how alumni/fan friendly he is. Look at Bobby Cremins. He was our guy and loved. And we still sent him out the door because he stopped winning. Collins has one mission - win games. Anything other than recruiting and coaching is a waste of his time. [/QUOTE]
