[QUOTE="Atomic Jacket, post: 36106, member: 1008"] Don't give up hope, Jacket fans! I have been saying that I think this team has one more ACC regular season win in them, and that would put us at that magical 5-ACC-win mark. That's one better than I thought at the start of the season! But setting all sarcasm aside, I can't possibly see how anyone couldn't see this was coming way back when the rumors were floating around that Tech's next head coach might be Brian Gregory. I remember those days well. How everyone was breathlessly bandying names around like Shaka Smart and Chris Mooney. And then out of nowhere this rumor came up that Gregory had been offered the job and was strongly considering it. Most Tech fans scoffed at the idea of Tech offering the job to a guy who was on the verge of being run out of Dayton, with rumors of player dissatisfaction with the coach. Savvy fans chalked it up to a common tactic by agents to float false rumors of job offers being considered by their client as a way to boost his perceived value to other schools, and that there was really no link between Gregory and Tech. But lo and behold, as is the case with most rumors, there was at least a grain of truth to this one, and more than just a grain, as we all soon discovered. Yet, then the whitewashing of Brian Gregory's record began in earnest, and soon he was being hailed as the next great basketball mind. By God, the next Tom Izzo himself was coming to set the ACC straight. Voices of dissent were quieted. "Just give him time." "Let him get his players." "It's a process." Okay. Please, let's not act like this all has been one big disappointment. We got what we paid for. There has been no disappointment. There has been no surprise. We got exactly what we expected. [/QUOTE]
