Mostly “Fire Geoff Collins”, some reminiscing, maybe bourbon or other distractions

[GTpdm]

This post is extremely practical. But Geoff is making $3M+ a year to field a team prepared to compete. If they are not prepared, he should say so ... and communicate the measures and milestones to ALL stakeholders and demonstrate progress. (E.g., Year 1 ... build a staff, Year 2, recruit, Year 3 ... deploy the program, etc). To my view, he communicates nor comments to nothing other than vague promises to be elite. He may very well be elite ... but there’s a reason BDS is empty. He’s selling to an audience that is not buying.

Sadly, I agree with you. I just want to be (…hope to be proven…) wrong in that opinion. I’m not optimistic that this guy will turn things around, but I think it is necessary (with this coach, perhaps critical) to keep supporting the program throughout the bad times we are seeing.

My friends and family will laugh at this, because I am a pessimist, but I really want to be an optimist about our program. That’s been hard lately—especially today—but the bourbon sure helps.

It sure didn’t look that way on tv

I was there, and yeah, wasn't even close. Horrible crowd after the UNC game.

And Geoff shouldn’t be on the hot seat. That’s ridiculous. We literally played two (maybe 3) of the best weeks of football we’ve seen since 2016 maybe in a row before this week.

This is just not true. We won four games in a row in 2018, with some very impressive offensive performances.

Speaking of people at tech dressing… I think Collins should take pointers from this guy.

Just to recap, GT makes $32 million from the ACC whether fans show up or not. I doubt TStan is losing much sleep over attendance.

Look at the couple laughing behind him haha! What a baller

 

[green&gold]

Might not be, but the crowd size sure is important to me as a Tech fan and all those recruits we are going to try to hold onto.

Although there is more to the story, Auburn’s coach fired his receivers coach last week, four games in. Accountability. I don’t recall Tech doing this for a very long time, if ever.

I don’t know Auburn’s situation. Could the receivers’ coach be the “cleveland state” of the assistant coaches?

I remember Tuberville having years of sacrificial assistant coaches.

If a team like Cincinnati can get it together not sure why we have to continue to make excuses, blame the players, etc. Time for accountability and to take this serious. It’s not an experiment anymore.

Not exactly. Auburn barely beat Georgia State last week and Harsin fired his receivers coach, citing 8 dropped passes. Harsin reiterated that at that level of play, you don't drop passes. Fired.

Yeah, but the Cincy players don't love each other.

Well played sir. Love trumpets all.

You used that picture without my permission.

You all laugh. But I wish all our fans showed that kind of dedication in attire.

I would get that guy some whiskey. He's got some Tech pride!

You are laughing at a friend of mine. “Although he is not now all that in younger days moved Earth and Heaven, he is what he is, one equal measure of heroic heart, made weak by time and fate but strong in will…” He is a Vietnam vet with multiple purple hearts, who suffered through a lot in his time over there. He has been a great friend, and I weep to see that he is beginning to yield to time and fate. He has also been a GT season ticket holder for decades longer than I have.

He served our country. On Heroes Day, two weeks ago, he was there in the stadium, and stood to accept your recognition. Show some respect now.

He has my utmost respect!

I called him a baller. That's pretty respectful.

Find another team

Did you see the stadium today? Not sure we can afford to lose many more fans.

For those that want him fired, go open your wallets and donate for that buy-out plus getting a new coach.
You want changes, then we gotta pay for them. Todd isn't going to fire Collins, he may request that he make some changes on his staff etc. But I imagine that Convo will happen at the end of the season.
