[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 666739, member: 2580"] From my point of view, as someone who began following Tech football and football in general during the CPJ years, the most frustrating thing I see is people who want to blame everything on the head coach. CPJ didn’t recruit as well as he needed to, and he could have done a better job of it, but he wasn’t getting the support he needed until he was halfway out the door. His defenses struggled, but that was because none of the DCs he hired were capable of having total control of the defense without help from the head coach. CPJ was perhaps one of the best offensive play callers to ever coach the sport, and I hated that half the fan base wanted him gone no matter how well he did. Now Geoff Collins has had a struggle in his first season due to schematic transitions on both sides of the ball and a dramatic culture shift. And now I’m seeing the same thing: people want him gone, and they’re not likely to change their minds about that. Who were the other candidates for the job again? Ken Whisenhunt? Rumors of Scott Satterfield and Tony Elliot? Not a word about Monken or Niumatalolo? Do people really think any of those coaches (other than the option coaches, who weren’t reported to be interested) would have done better with the transition? I don’t. And I can tell you that firing a coach after one year is not going to make it easier to attract better candidates. Let’s give Collins and the impressive staff he’s assembled (take a look at their resumés) a chance to turn this thing around. Instead of focusing our discussions on who’s to blame for the disappointing results, let’s try to focus on what the mistakes were and what could have been done better. I think that’s a much more stimulating conversation, don’t y’all? [/QUOTE]
