Never said that. You must have an agenda. I will say that if Sims plays like garbage like we’ve seen the past two years then Long will absolutely bench him and then you can say he has an agenda. This is P5 football. A starting QB should be able to complete the simple passes. We’ll find out within 3 games if Sims is up to the task.
I don’t think they laid down on Paul. The Minnesota team was much better than we were. Last year vs Notre Dame. Now that’s a lay down.
Do you have any idea how many injuries we had going into Notre Dame? We had no depth at the beginning of the year, but the starters were decent and got us out to 3-3. When injuries set in we had no depth, and the talent level was about the same as an FCS team, unfortunately No one laid down--except maybe Gibbs who refused to play against Georgie. If the team laid down in the first game, why would it then beat UNC a couple of games later?
I certainly hope the light goes on for him this year, but you're right, after three games we should know one way or the other.
Dude, we’ve won 3 games three years in a row. There is not a criticism myself, you, or anyone could make about GT football at this point that is unfounded. If criticism of the program is getting old what is the performance of the program getting?
The good thing is reports from coaches, players, and fans indicate Sims has been very sharp so far. Hopefully that continues and translates on game day.
Sims is good

Crazy to think how refreshing it is to hear him sound like an actual coach, maybe for the first time ever imo. Ready for the season
I agree with your statement. I don’t care about wins or losses. I know I differ from many who use wins as the measuring stick. While true that wins are really the true measure of any competition, in P5 football where the playoffs are already set before the season starts (this will change once it’s expanded to give every school a fair shot) a school like GT isn’t really playing for anything of consequence other than pure pride. That’s why I don’t care if we win or lose since the entire system is rigged, but we gotta at least field a team we can take pride in. 100-0 was far from that. Letting NIU and Citadel come into our stadium and play tougher than we did was far from that. I hope we win win every game, but I’m fine if we just play hard. That’s been my biggest issue with Collins. He says all the right things and I totally agree with his vision, but you can’t say all those things and then have your team lay down and play at low levels week after week for 3 straight seasons. And when you juxtapose him with the other in state coach who demands his players play hard it’s been just hard to watch and see any silver lining. I watch a lot of high level high school football down here in South Georgia and these teams may lose but they freaking fight because their coach demands it. I have seen very little accountability from Collins towards the players.
The news today about Long focusing on the OL, and then the Hevesy hire, and now this very competent sounding interview have got me pumped.
Hope to see good leadership this year. It wasn't clear who was leading the team last year.
