I can not tell you who the coaches are. 3 active 2 retired. All State of Georgia high school coaches. Funny thing about what they also said....."CPJ was the best thing going for Tech. He needed to make some changes on his offense but as far as coaching and the program he is one of the best in the country". Their words not mine.
Why don't you look what colleges they graduated from and report back to us. Just a list of the colleges. That would tell us a lot.
It won't stop. A lot of teams are jealous of tech's past success, we were getting screwed in the gailey days too with scheduling.
Well we could have at least interviewed Elliot.
I can't tell if this is serious or not.
I just figured if we were going to start the collins hiring discussion again we should truly start rehashing. lol
The conversations were more about current status of College Football and the relationship of College Coaches and High School coaches. Here in Georgia many of the long standing HS coaches are as highly thought of as many college coaches. When recruiting was discussed that is when we began to talk about Tech. All agreed that Tech is a hard place to recruit do to academics. It then turned to a fairly common statement that good coaches are disciplined. Also that good coaches fit systems to the players that they have and not try to force a system into what they want. A direct reference to CDP. It was also said that Tech cannot run what everybody else does because of recruiting limitations.
With fans like this who needs opponents?
If it was all about talent then Chan should have won many more games. When talent is somewhat comparable then coaching makes all the difference. Poor coaching can destroy a team...see billy lewis. Coaching that facilitates teamwork with sound principles can make decent players into a great team.
If 4 wins is all we get....and there is a good chance of that....then we really are shooting low as a team. It will be time for CGC to start replacing coaches.
All true, but the coaching will look a lot better with talent upgrades, especially on the OL.
If 4 wins are all we get I would agree with you. We'll see what happens...
CPJ was a great coach, he wouldn't change his offense nor would he change his recruting style. He resigned, we didn't fire him. His style of play was going to be harder to succeed at as the blocking rules kept changing making it much harder to block on the edges which is where most of our explosive plays came from. He did great things for GT football. He chose to move on. Don't hold his decision against the current staff. Give them a fair chance to actually establish their program.
It's easy to quote some off the cuff statement, but when the rubber met the road, I wonder how many of those coaches tried to convince their top players that they should choose GT and play for 'one of the best in the country'.
Very few likely for the elite players
Codicil, top players that were very good students. Keep in mind, what may be a top player at a school could be an All Purpose QB that would not end up being one in many schools. JT5 comes to mind. Players will go where the system fits them and can be developed.
