Didn't the AD at the time, and under Gailey say Tech was destined to average 7-5. A lot of people gave him grief buttttttt so far he is spot on. Although 7-5 under one coach didn't seem to be the same under the next.
The real difference imo is now no high school coach and college coach can tell their players not to come here and use the Triple Option against us. It’s no secret the stigmas and misconceptions about the previous offense hurt the staff on the trail more then we wanted to admit.
Yea now College coaches will now tell recruits we can’t win now we don’t run 3O. They will tell the recruits the only reason we went to bowl games and competed for division championship was because of the 3O. Negative recruiting will still continue, it will just be a different message.
That’s a lot less damning of a message than, “They run an offense that will never get you to the NFL.” You can tell a recruit that same message about not winning about every school in the country besides Bama and Clemson. You could tell a recruit UGAg hasn’t won a championship in 40 years but it doesn’t really affect how many kids want to play there. There are way worse things for other programs to negatively recruit Tech than not winning.
Way harder to sell, the TO negative recruiting wasn’t about Wins and Loses, most of it was BS about making the NFL.
Better to learn his offense and not start over again.
No his assistant coaches and coordinators did which we have no money to help CGC
I think it could be equally as damning, you’re not going to a bowl game the four years you are there and you are going to have a tough time getting drafted cause players don’t get drafted from 2-3 win teams. You could to point players that are/were in the NFL that played in the 3O. That is why next year needs to show a big improvement, cause if you go back to back 2-3 win seasons I think narrative will be hard to overcome. I actually think winning 2-3 a year will be harder hill to climb. If we are recruiting the same players I think I’m choosing the team that wins, plays in big games, and go to bowls.
I liked CPJ but he was a different type of recruiter hard nose. He really only had one assistant coach that seem to like to recruit and I think his area was mainly Tennessee
Actually if 750 is your cutoff, we have two. Valpulu is 760 but anyway here is a quick look at the other ACC schools (not clemson) NC State -1, NC - 2; BC -2; FS -1; Louisville -2; Miami - 1; Duke - 1; Pittsburgh - 2; Wake -1; VA, VTECH and Syracuse - 0.
My comment wasn't meant for his boss that has oversight on coach's job, which you dont. If y'all can't understand how continually bashing our coaches and AD and calling for their firing before they have a chance to prove themselves, does nothing positive to support our efforts, I have nothing else to say to you. I have heard the same kind of bitching about Pastner and yet our basketball program is in the best shape than it has been in many years.
I guess we will have to wait and see, but I don’t think you are going to see a lot guys beating down the door to play here if we are winning 2-3 games. Plus winning at GT is more important to me than how many players get drafted. I’m happy that players get drafted but that’s not at the top of my list. I would rather have 7-11 years finished 1st or 2nd than having more players drafted. If you can do both great. who got drafted last year doesn’t help me win games on Saturday this year.
I agree, and I assume TStan and CGC have this conversation. Why does Collins need to provide that data to us though? Who knows, maybe TStan has told him not to. I feel like we should give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
I question the current Pope too.
