We are in the Coastal division of the ACC where mediocrity is the ceiling for most teams. If second tier SEC teams were placed in the Coastal, the carnage would be devastating. I have little regard for the ACC in football. For many schools, football is just something to pass the time until basketball practice starts.
I don't know about you but mediocrity being a state of somewhat less than average looks pretty good at the moment.
He worked for Satan for a year. Must have been a real keeper.Well, I have no idea if Collins runs a "disciplined" program or not - based on how "player-friendly" it appears to be, I doubt it seriously.
But, Collins also worked for sa(t)an, and we know that program is run with utmost discipline. I am also confident that O'Leary ran a very disciplined program, so Collins could have been influenced by any of these men.
I kind of think he is running it that way "he always thought it should be run", with the players being treated more like equals instead of underlings. And, as a parent and grandparent, I can tell you confidently that most 18-22 year olds need discipline, but of course, you know that.
Maybe. We all pick up traits from those we have worked for.
O’Leary gave Collins a thumbs up? I can’t imagine O’Leary not knowing as much as some of our fans that were absolutely certain he would fail even before his first press conference. Impressive fan base we have.
Well, if you were looking at playing Alabama the next week wouldn't you get your starters out as soon as you could?
Read on here by some supposedly in the know that O’Leary was influential in talking up Collins to the money guys to get him hired.
Nope. He is a perfect example of why some people need to read Dale Carnegie's book "How to Make Friends and Influence People". According to my Florida friends, he is an absolute ******* to fans, assistants, office help, players, everybody. And the failures of the program are always someone else's fault. Personally, I would keep Geoff.
Yes, but if he leaves the second string in there instead of the third or fourth, they could run up the score, too.
The rationale is you are giving him a little more time to show he can do the job. If we are in this same place next year we better get him out as fast as possible or the long term cost to Tech athletics will be far worse than the cost of paying him off. There is such a thing as a positive firing where morale clicks up with fans, donors and players and you stop the bleeding and hope returns.
Hell, if they played like they did against the Irish, Kirby could put the third and fourth stringers in with no problem.
I imagine Smart will have his scrubs in there the entire second half. It seemed to me that many of our players were just going through the motions.
By mid season
We should have that answer by Game 6 next year
Geoff will never do it. He will ask, "Why should I listen to you? I'm an expert on building elite organizations. Next!"
I meant an actual potato. Not a mental midget
I think these are great ideas. Assuming CGC is back in the spring, I want to only hear change from him....... attitude, consequences, players need to hear that they need improvement, and what some of the benchmarks will be. I realize these guys are not pros, and am not for singling individual players out for criticism, but they can be critiqued as a position group more often, leading to the position coach being under more heat.
