[QUOTE="billga99, post: 928371, member: 1618"] Going with Collins was obviously a major risk. But I do think it was an attempt to get GT Football to an elite (hate to use that word with Collins mentioned) status. He pushed marketing and recruiting which are a big part of that. But at the end, you still have to coach up your players and/or have a very strong staff to do that. A big part of that is evaluation of your talent and figuring out schemes to maximize their skills. It is also the ability to change game plans during a game to counter the opponents moves. So I think the strategy was decent IF you also had coaches that could actually up the skills of their players. With Collins history as a defense coordinator, my guess is they assume he could still succeed as a hands on coach. The marketing hype and improve recruiting did work initially. But the coaching was a dismal failure. With Key, we definitely are going back to fundamental hands on coaching. The jury is definitely out if he and his staff can recruit enough talent and coach them up to compete effectively with everyone on their schedule including Georgia and Clemson. [/QUOTE]
