[QUOTE="Novajacket, post: 900912, member: 129"] I thought the analysis of our situation was very accurate of who we have been for a long time in [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/09/30/college-football-preview-heisman-watch/?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=wp_sports&utm_medium=social']this article[/URL]. I would say it goes further back even then O’Leary. [B]The wreck at Tech[/B] What is the Yellow Jackets’ brand, at least when it comes to football? Frankly, it’s one of steady competence, or at least it was before Collins’s arrival. From 1997 to 2018, Georgia Tech went to 20 bowl games in 22 seasons. It finished with at least 10 victories in 1998, 2009 and 2014, which matches the number of times it finished below .500 (2010, 2015 and 2017) in that span. The Yellow Jackets had three consecutive coaching tenures — under George O’Leary, Chan Gailey and Johnson — that saw them usually finish 4-4 or 5-3 in the ACC. Sometimes, they were better. Only once in those 22 years were they worse. It’s the sort of reliability fans and administrators tend to take for granted until they spend four years as a doormat. Georgia Tech has some assets (geography) and some challenges (the academic options of a school largely known for its offerings in engineering, one of the few areas of study that might be more time-consuming than football). It probably isn’t going to annually contend for league titles. But it sure shouldn’t be 10-28 since the start of 2019, either. [/QUOTE]
