Recognize we are not the target for Collins and this show appearance. Can't look at it through that lens. And he for sure isn't. That was all and only about generating a buzz with potential recruits and coaches. With a corollary target of the broader ACC media. That is why the 4 different outfits and the discussion of uniforms and Addidas. Plus the energy and continued focus that GT is now a different place. It ain't for us
He has 2 to 3 years to sell culture, energy, vibe etc before the wins and losses take over. I personally think he is doing an amazing job both overall and with this appearance. Recruiting ticked up. There will be time and other GT centric venues to go all engineer specific on aspects of the program. This wasn't it
I think there is some truth to this statement, but the problem is it's the same thing that keeps being said about everything.
Don't like money down? You weren't the audience.
Don't like the Juice Crew? You weren't the audience.
Don't like this interview? You weren't the audience.

There have been more instances of fan complaints where this answer has popped up as well. While I agree with it generally, and understand he is trying to broaden the reach of GT, he also needs to try and reach the fans already here once in a while as well. If he doesn't, he will end up alienating a large portion of our fanbase.
As for this interview, I had no particular quibble with the "Standard Coach Speak" during an off season. Just glad he's getting us some good press.
