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

[stech81]

I’ve already made a lengthy post regarding Collins’ hire and the other potential hires from that year. Who else would he have hired that would have been more successful for a cheaper or similar contract? The available coaches from that class were very weak

It don't matter we suck with this coaching staff if you like the great you are about the only one

No good assistant will come here if we fire the ones we have. We will need to start over by firing Collins

I would have to be a pretty desperate assistant to want to coach under our HC.

Perfectly stated

I’m a fan of GT. 3x alumnus.
Not a fan of a glutinous (Waffle House) dufus

Can anyone give me a legitimate reason why Stansbury should be relieved of his duties? Collins hasn’t worked out, but ADTS has done literally everything else right. Fire him and we go from one mediocre team to all of them being mediocre

because he hired a used car salesman (who isn’t so keen on alumni and fans) and gave him a 7 year contract. Couldn’t do that in my job! Why should tstan?

 

[stech81]

What I mean is insert him in a position between Tstan and Collins. Let him approve the assistant coaching hires. I do mean bringing him in as head ball coach. Collins has made this such a mess we need someone to make the decisions regarding the actual program.

We have no choice but to retain Collins due to cost but he has proven incapable of leading the program.

Than tell Duke to move over we will be the worse for many more years

Have you ever heard TStan speak? If so, do you still believe he's someone who knows how to make good hiring decisions? Just look at how he allowed this coach to con him. Thinking with his heart, not his brain.

But hey, at least all the players know that Geoff loves them. That's what really matters here.

He is is similar to Geoff in the way they answer direct questions… they don’t.

Wanna try this again with actual English and a relevant statement?

Easy: Football is the only program that really matters. I am a season ticket holder to both GT football and basketball, so the apathy that still infects hoops will do far more damage to us if prolonged at 55K seat BDS than 8K McCamish. Oh yeah, thanks to all on here for buying and attending hoops during the last decade.

 

[Lotta Booze]

Let's hire Deion. That would be cool as ****. Hard to get more "ATL" than that

 

[wvGT11]

We all knew this was going to be a tough game but man I think not even a miracle season next year will save Collins.

 

[SJBryan]

Yep, the embarrassment that’s playing out on national tv is all due to our quarterback

Nope not all due to him but I do see 14 points off of him on basic stupid just give it away plays. I was also implying that we could at least try others as it was not totally jump on the QB rant.

Say you're TStan. You call Collins and Key to the office first thing tomorrow. Firing them is easy, but unrealistic, IMO.

What do you do?

 

[Lavoisier]

I posted this in the chat but I'll post it in here: if Stansbury can't raise the funds to fire Collins/hire a new staff, then he isn't cut out to be the AD. Hiring the football coach and fundraising are two of the most important aspects of his job and if he can't do either of those he should not be here.

You say what changes do you intend to make next year. What you are doing now isn't working.

It is clear to me that our beloved football is on the wrong course…the entire US now is aware that Georgia Tech Football is, as of 2021, a uncompetitive program in a down Power 5 ACC! This is completely unacceptable to me.

 

[slugboy]

I'm afraid this is an Angel Cabrera problem now. You can't allow yourself to be humiliated on national TV.

I am afraid I agree with you. That was such a poor performance that I cringed to see the Georgia Tech “ad” during the game. You can screw up, but when you screw up that big there will be consequences.

One quibble: Paul was not a bad recruiter. He ran system offense and he always got the players who could do what he wanted to do. Not that he wouldn't have wanted some of the 5 star types, but he got what he needed to make the O work. The D recruiting - up to the DCs - was always decent, except at DT. We kept getting good recruits there and having them leave after a year or two.

Those two statements contradict each other. The recruiting buck stops with the head coach, for all players. If Paul wasn’t responsible for the D recruiting, then he was a bad recruiter.

I think he did have a hand in defensive recruiting, for what it’s worth, and he started as a defensive coach.

 

[g0lftime]

Don't ask me for money to bail your lousy selection of a HC out either. You made it. You live with it.

It might be worse soon. People will forget GT Football even exists. The last two games before ND were not even on TV channels I get and I only live one state over. GT isn't even going to be on regular TV unless they play Clemson, UGA, or ND.

 

[DavidStandingBear]

I was tossing out a name. If you have a better one in mind (or even a realistic one), I'd love to hear it. I'm at the point of thinking we're in an unrecoverable situation. No coaching, no money, no options..

Say you're TStan. You call Collins and Key to the office first thing tomorrow. Firing them is easy, but unrealistic, IMO.

What do you do?

Resign in disgrace and apologize

 

[wvGT11]

So real question at this point, if your Tstan , what do you do knowing the funding issue and that he was your hire.

Do you ask Collins to fire his staff or do you fire Collins / ask him to resign .

We're stuck in a big hole now
