The president may not give a ****. I first graduated in ‘74 then tech was a good institute, but now it’s a great institute. I’m a prof a big mid west uni and get more love re the academics than the football team. So who is the audience? Atlanta area football fans or the rest of the world?
He has 14 million reasons not to quit. In fact, come to think of it he has 7 million reasons to get his butt fired this year instead of next. Hmmmm.....
Not sure about this. You can find their salaries, titles, and employer on OpenGa.gov. Kirb shart, key, Pat, etc. Are all listed. I cannot find Collins though, so you might be correct.
Geoff will never quit. It's not in his interest. He will likely never coach P5 again, which only underscores the pressure to take the arrows and the money.
Don't worry about my English I went to Southern Tech not Georgia Tech. if you like what you have seen the last 3 years great you will enjoy the next 4 years. First step is to get CGC to quit . then find a coach. Most on here don't think we can find a coach , no it won't be a big name coach. As far as an AD treating him like sh*t I would not worry about that 9 wins in 3 years is bad. Have not looked it up but how may head coach have less the 9 win in 3 years
If recruiting tops out in the 20-30 range each year, how do we aspire to get into the top 15 in the rankings each year without a niche offense? There are only about 5-10 coaches out there who are good enough to take recruiting classes in the 20-30 range and consistently finish seasons ranked in the top 15 so the likelihood of us getting one of the coaches is slim to none. Meanwhile, running a niche offense (notice I didn't say it necessarily has to be the triple option) gives us a significant competitive advantage
So, so true. We are an international, Metropolitan STEM school. There are no other schools playing division 1 football, except military academies, like us. NONE.
I agree. I was a young fan in the Dodd era, fans should realize that tech was a navy rotc school in the 40s and 50s which was an advantage. In the 40s all students wore their navy uniforms to class. Oh and by the way our games can be watched on TV now, unlike the 40, 50s and 60s
If you think he is going to quit you must really think not only he but his agent, his attorney, his CPA and his wife are idiots too. People at his age don't leave that kind of money on the table. not matter how much you want him to do so.
The problem with many of our fans is two-fold:
The drop off after 10 is insane. Who realistically thinks CGC or anyone can recruit constant top ten classes?
Don't know them. But you can make anyone want to quit . I know all he wants is the money now and Tech is down the list.
I have a theory that he is intentionally sucking so bad that he'll get fired this year instead of next. If he gets fired this year, the GTAA owes him 14 million to go away. If he drags it out another year, they'll owe him only 7.2 mil., plus his 2.8 mil. salary for next year which would come to 10 mil. total. So if he knows he can't cut it and is going to bomb out, it's in his interest to get canned now instead of later. He makes 4 million more by getting fired now instead of next year. And on top of that, he gets to spend next year on the French Riviera sunning himself and drinking Mai Tai's instead of on the Flats getting booed.
Geoff talked TStan into the <500 Mile Theory of Football. "Come to Tech Young Man, and you will either go to the NFL or get a great degree." The premise was that we would "retool" GT and develop student athletes in a way to get them to the NFL. (This is what Nick Saban is doing.)
If you’re an alumnus, remember drown proofing class? What was that about? Saturday mornings, omg!
Maybe psychedelic drugs...turn on, tune in, drop out.
