[QUOTE="Atomic Jacket, post: 107618, member: 1008"] It is precisely because of our history in the modern era that I am concerned that we are going to fall into the same trap again. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We let Braine make rash decisions TWICE, on Gailey and on Hewitt. Hewitt rode that one good season to a massive 6-year rolling contract, payable in full upon termination. Gailey was given a massive extension and buyout after a mediocre season. Does anyone remember the outrage following that? I sure do. The extension was done in secret, and it ended up costing the school dearly, and resulted in several wasted years of mediocrity. And if you're one of those who thinks Tech has never been that great consistently and therefore it is unreasonable to strive toward greatness, then you are a defeatist and a sad case who can't be helped. I happen to think that Tech can be just as great (consistently, year after year) as any of the Top 10 programs out there. But it starts with making sure we don't make a rash, hasty decision that locks us into another disastrous contract until we are reasonably sure we have a consistently highly performing football program.
