[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 406987, member: 2451"] It is not so much academics (granted that is a large part of our recruiting woes) but there is the perceived indifference bordering on hostility on the part of Georgia Tech administration towards athletics in general and football in particular. During Coach Johnson's tenure we have an overall record of 76 wins to 54 losses which given the recruiting restrictions is borderline miraculous. Of the 27 losses, according to my back of envelope liberal arts mathematics, half of them are attributed to our "BIG FOUR" rivals of UGA, Miami, Virginia Tech, and Clemson. Good teams all with generally good coaches and typically top 25 or better recruiting rankings compared to our top 50 or better rankings. Most of the time in a season we will go 1-3 against them. If we have a really bad year it will be 0-4. I had the exact numbers last night and seem to have misplaced them but it would appear that we have done the best against Virginia Tech but even then have a losing record over the 10 season span. Some of those losses were very competitive going into the fourth quarter (last year's loss to Miami comes to mind) a few of them were total blow outs but not as many as might be suspected with such a decided athletic edge to our opponents. The wonder of it all is that we are as competitive as we have been given the obstacles our coaches have to deal with. At one time we lost 5 in a row to Miami and some of those Miami teams just were not all that great. Plenty of talent to be sure but they were not well coached and were getting abused by some teams but they always seem to play well against us. [/QUOTE]
