[QUOTE="GTLorenzo, post: 542249, member: 359"] Say what you will about Collins and his social media and marketing, if THAT doesn't get you fired up, nothing will. I'm trying to think of the last great "salesmen" for Georgia Tech. O'Leary had a great staff and knew what it took to win, but did they bring this kind of energy? Not sure. Ross? Again, GREAT staff, but more typical of a Georgia Tech coach, experienced, older, more reserved, likely looking for the next opportunity. I guess Pepper maybe? He had the 1970s equivalent of social media with his TV show and was a talker. Had a ton of talent on his teams, ELI, Drew Hill, Kent Hill, Don Bessileau, Al Richardson, etc. His presence was tolerated when he was winning and hated when he was losing. But times have changed. Collins is more up beat and social media/marketing savvy than any other coach I can think of. All things being equal, would you rather go play for Saban or Kirby or Muschamp or Coach O or Collins? Collins all day long. Has the same Dabo feel. Family. Culture change. Of course, things aren't all equal, but I'm just hoping that Collins and this staff can get them as close to being equal as we've ever had at Tech. The future could be bright. 2019 and 2020 could be tough years with the change in offense and the schedules, but I'm cautiously optimistic. [/QUOTE]
