Geoff Collins worst GT coach of all time

CGC makes Bill Lewis look like Saban

At least Bill Lewis had some nice 1990s hair. I’m just saying….

 

[Squints]

no one touts collins and no one has in months. keep yelling at the imaginary men in the sky

Imaginary men in the sky like those who 'continue to act like recruiting isn't important'?

The 90s were great times! They dont make action movies like that anymore!

Prove me wrong.

Can't divide by zero and that's how many proofs I have for you at this time...

 

[JacketFan137]

It is a thing. These threads have been full of Collins fan boys for over two years, flaming and bashing anybody who pointed out the obvious: that the Collins hire was a monstrous mistake that has (and will continue) to set Tech football back.

Saying “no one here has actively defended Collins in over a year” is just a bald faced lie.

So, nah, the only thing worse than making a mistake is not admitting that you made one. I haven’t missed a home game in 46 years. It’s time for Tech to move on.

idk haven’t seen much any time recently. definitely not in the calendar year of 2022. might be imagining things big bro

 

[awbuzz]

C’mon guys, the season is still young and we will turn this around and go bowling!

... Soooo, your saying there's a chance?!?!?

I know everyone loves a good CPJ Collins comparison.
How would the 3 win PJ team do against any Collins team?

24 - 0. In the first half. Provided, that is, that the ABs went in the right direction on sweeps.

The numbers do not lie. Solidly in 1st
place in the crapper.

I don’t think Collins has anyone left in his corner except his wife and daughter at this point

Not defending the guy but trying to refine the problem. Why was CGC successful at Temple but not here? To me it seems way oversimplified to imagine goodness of a coach as being univariate and independent. How did the hiring process and/or his process go wrong?

Mediocre at temple doesn’t equate to “successful”. At least not in my book. Dude flat out can’t coach. And that’s what he (unfortunately) has the title of and is expected to do.

He wasn't that successful at Temple. They were 20-7 over the prior two season with Matt Rhule with their worst loss being to a good Army team. Collins went 15-10, with some awful losses (namely, to UConn and Villanova).

From previous comments about how PJ made his teams work their asses off every game, the score wouldn’t even be close.

And the guy who “has his man!” What’s his name? Having trouble remembering….

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

I mean at this point he should claim he has pink eye from having his head to far up his own rear to know which way the sun shines and graciously step down.

Now that is not nice, funny but not nice.

The terrible defense PJ team would skunk the GC team

Are we talking about the 2015 PJ team? Too lazy to look it up. That team upset a super talented FSU team that was in the hunt for a playoff berth. That team had plenty of spirit, heart, desire, just terrible luck with injuries. Any team with Nesbitt, Reggie, JT5 would eat this team alive because they are so undisciplined and soft. This team would probably score points...when they had the ball but that would not be often.

 

[Bleedgoldandwhite]

PJ’s 3 win team would kick the crap out of any Collins team

 

[DavidStandingBear]

That's G**** C******.

The coach that shall not be mentioned .... like it!!

also do people not remember Temple fans laughing at us for hiring him? Their fans attributed 100% of his success to Rhule
