No argument here.
I am not going to argue that Collins is worth what we are paying him, but his contract is in the bottom 3rd of the ACC.
look like we are also

Don’t buy this at all. Army is currently more competitive than we are and they don’t get near the level of recruits we do.
Nice trick there, skipping 2016 (a 9-4 season, with a win over (u)GA, and as many wins over SEC east teams as the dwags had that year)—when in fact it was the 2018 season that never really happened. (Fall 2018 was entirely a fentanyl hallucination while I was in a medically-induced coma...
)
I'm hoping we can recover enough in the off season to beat Western Carolina.
And that is probably our ceiling for a head coach’s salary until we consistently get more butts in the seats or big donations.
He's the 39th highest paid coach in all of NCAA Football.
Not to mention that in the 10+ years of seeing it, most SEC teams we faced still struggled against it.
I skipped 2011 and 2014 as well. The point was to show the sheer number of mediocre seasons. There were far more of them than anything else, hence GT's wanting to make a change.
I'm sure they will have a Top 10 QB next year
I hope you talked to them
Well, that was the rationale anyway. The hidden text was that some people had it in for the flexbone offense. Having periodic mediocre seasons has been a Tech thing since Alexander was our coach.

On a more serious note: Johnson's final seasons were handicapped by the fact that we didn't have a dual threat QB. With all respect to Taquon Marshall for the seasons he led as our QB, he wasn't PJ's first choice—that would have been Jaylend Ratliffe, who was medically DQed after a pre-signing ATV accident. (We honored his commitment with a medical scholarship, you'll recall.) If we'd had JR running plays, I think the last two seasons would have played out very differently.
The common wisdom at the end of Johnson's tenure was to say, "See? Everyone has figured out the blueprint for beating his offense." Well, yeah...if the blueprint is to wait until a season when our QB provides no deep passing threat, and then you simply stack the box to stuff the option. Had teams tried that strategy with JR under center, I think they would they would have gotten burned on the deep routes, and would have been forced to re-think their "blueprint".
Unfortunately, his mediocre seasons look much better than Collins’ results. I was very excited when Collins was hired, but this has gotten beyond embarrassing. And I am infuriates me why he will not even make any effort to acknowledge how awful it is in his press conferences.
Where I am at is that I cannot continue to support the status quo nor want to contribute to paying his buyout , get a new coach with what little money we have and repeat this cycle for another 3-5 years
