Yeah. That UGA game where they did pushups and weight lifting on the field and acting like idiots only to get so completely beat down...well, that was the peak of embarrassment. My UGA backing friends were giddy over that, as they should have been. I think they even felt sorry for me, which was even more hurtful and embarrassing.
He should look defeated. His first priority has been a dismal failure. Admittedly his lesser priorities have been solid, like helping players outside of football (school, personal), stirring up more interest in GT football (though losing will destroy any gains). We can only hope for a real turn around this year, not getting destroyed in ANY game would be a good start, like actually hanging around with UGA and Clemson (they'll be better after moving on from horrible QB). I feel like UGA will be 50 point beatdown at minimum and if so, he hasn't made any gains.
You should probably spend about 3 months reading the last 3 years of posts in the football forum before you come in here and toss this out there. It's been hashed, rehashed, and threehashed.
Anger rather than interest, Augie. Big talkers and sloganizers who can’t deliver infuriate me, and from what I’ve seen on this board, I’m not alone.
Just to elucidate further. I learned in my clinical training almost 40 years ago how to spot a con artist. The way CGC carried on when he first got here raised all my red flags. But I’ve never not pulled for a Tech coach. Never. So I overrode my training and experience to root for Collins. He said and did a few things that I liked so I focused on those. Unfortunately the actual coaching and the actual record of wins and losses has me second guessing myself again. If he were any other person and not a Tech coach I would not give him the time of day. So I’m kind of stuck, still wanting him to succeed but still wondering if I’m being played for a sucker.
Lots of us stuck there. I just hope his assistants can pull him through.
The Clemson game was 14-8, and we were going in for the potential tying score in the last minute but a block was missed. I'd call that hanging around.
Me too. It’s hope. That’s what conmen count on.
It’s July 31st. Pray tell, what do you expect him to “do” right now instead of talking?
If he wants to see GT succeed what he should be doing is nothing but recruiting. Leave the practice sessions to the real coaches. Let Long run the offense and let Tillman run the defense. It’s that simple. Any coaching or preseason prep by Collins should be ignored. We saw in full view what Collins was capable of in game 1 last year.
Stop talking?
