[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 934482, member: 4015"] Jacket Up has a point. I much preferred Coach Dodd as a coach than as an AD. He was lazy and did not adjust to the new realities presented by integration and most importantly getting money to upgrade facilities that were very poor. He did have the good sense to get out of coaching when he did as the game was about to pass him by as the expression goes. That is not to say he was not a good coach in his last year. He got more out of a team that year that had little depth in the line than any coach Tech has had. That 1966 team had good players but little depth but Dodd steered them to a 9 win season and an Orange Bowl berth. It would be decades before Tech would go back to the Orange Bowl. Among their other wins were victories over 8th ranked Tennessee and Joe Paterno's first Penn State team. Paterno in his autobiography stated that Tech that year was the quickest team he had ever seen up to that time and convinced him that he needed to recruit more speed on defense. [/QUOTE]
