[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 892443, member: 1191"] So this is where I both agree and disagree with you. It will take some big checks to fix the problem, but Collins is not the problem. Collins is a symptom of the problem. The problem is we have a fan base that is convinced we are a single step down from the football factories in desirability to athletes and future coaches when in reality we are a few rungs down that ladder. We want proven P5 head coaches, but we aren't able to hire them because they aren't coming here. The ONLY way we are getting a proven P5 head coach is to open our wallets up and write blank checks with huge buyouts for longer than normal contracts, as well as funding for top notch assistants. If/when we fire CGC at the end of this season, we simply start this cycle all over again, hunting for a diamond in the rough and turning on it viciously the minute we realize we got exactly what we paid for. When you shop in bargain stores, you can't expect quality, and we have been bargain shoppers for a long time. Real questions need to be addressed before we fire and hire our next HC, but I doubt they will be brought forward. Instead, this December, we will have another fracturing of the fan base because people aren't happy that we couldn't lure the next big thing to GT with the money we have available. As for differing opinions, I, and the other moderators, encourage a variety of opinions. What we push back again is the snarky hot takes better suited to a twitter drive by than a message board that is predicated on discussion. When all fonts are seeking is a mic drop moment it becomes wearisome. That's not what these threads are for and that's why we moderate them as we do. I tailgate with a former font that is as anti-CGC as they come. He's one of my good friends. I disagree with the vehemence he focuses on CGC, but I understand his frustration, as I understand yours. My point was, and continues to be, that you can be both frustrated and civil at the same time, and that's where the rub is. We aim for civility. By the way, you owe us another penny for your thoughts, inflation and whatnot... ;) [/QUOTE]
