[QUOTE="Cam, post: 615856, member: 568"] I don't see anything in that video as "taking shots at CPJ," he's just trying to change the national narrative about Georgia Tech football. He's not fabricating false narratives, I think you're just looking at the end of year rankings. Keep this in mind, he was at Georgia Tech from 1999-2001 and then again in 2006. Here are those years: 1999 - Ranked in the top 17 all season long, [B]ranked in the top 10 for 7/12 weeks[/B]. 2000 - In the last 4 weeks GT climbed from ranked 24th to finishing [B]ranked 15th[/B]. 2001 - Ranked all but 3 weeks, was [B]ranked 10th, 11th, 10th, and 9th [/B]for the first 4 weeks. 2006 - Ranked 9/13 weeks, hit a [B]high of 13th[/B]. In his personal experiences as a Georgia Tech staff member, he's seen Georgia Tech [B]ranked in the top 25 for 35 out of 41 weeks (~25% of those were in the top 10)[/B]. It's actually kind of remarkable that he was around during a lot of our best seasons in the last 40 years. That's not counting any other time growing up when he probably fondly remembers GT being a top ranked team (1990-1992). And Paul Johnson had a lot of undeniably great seasons and was ranked at least one week in [B]6 of his first 8 seasons[/B]. Though as a big CPJ supporter, one of the biggest surprises for me this offseason was when someone reported the stat that GT has not been ranked in the top 25 since week 4 of the 2015 season. The national perception of GT has been low the last 4 seasons and I don't think it's wrong for Collins to juxtapose those seasons next to his experiences as a GT coach. He may be stretching the truth a bit to sell the program, but he's not really incorrect. [/QUOTE]
