[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 697398, member: 1929"] The game day stuff I'm not as sure about. There's limited track record, and experience in that role may be the only thing. Early in his HC career CPJ way out-coached Dabo on the field. Doesn't seem so important now. As for his awareness, that I can't attest to here. I realize that most of his public comments aren't aimed at the dedicated Tech fan/alumnus, and so he's generally on a positive branding mission that isn't exactly supported by "here's how we (and me) are bad." Of course, I would evaluate positively someone saying publicly "here's where I need to improve and how I'm going about it" when it is earnestly offered. Just because we're not hearing it though doesn't mean it isn't there. It's an unknown. As for overall vision, just listen to him. Developmental program building a positive and highly engaged culture, publicizing it as a brand of excellence in all walks of life for those involved and integrating that with the local community, our own unique and successful history, making the NFL more accessible for our players -- aiming to put GT in the center of college football. Obviously there's a lot of lofty and abstract stuff there, and a lot of things which sound like marketing fluff. To me they are marketing, and being the best at everything is totally dumb as an empty aspiration, yet they aren't fluff. He really has changed our relationship with the media, the community, and the NFL. He is seeming to attract a different caliber of athlete to the flats and at the same time valuing far more than football. He is getting kids to work harder and be closer with themselves and the staff off the field. His practices are fast paced and involving everyone possible, and he does take a lot of time to develop players not cracking the 2-deep. The intrinsic rewards for effort are reinforced with a high degree of intention, and be builds in competition to a host of areas of the team, etc. A lot may be cheesy or just odd (e.g. ATL), but that right there just fits with the competition, position flexibility, open play opportunities, focusing on development and depth instead of prioritizing starters, etc. [/QUOTE]
