Collins not finishing the season is a worst case scenario. Heaven forbid it comes to that put this is an example of how that unfolds. We begin the season by losing ugly and it just gets uglier. Some players just lay down and they are replaced by underclassmen who in turn suffer injuries due to lack of training and experience. We have trouble getting even 20,000 fans in the stadium and the next recruiting class starts to fall apart.
Now TStan steps in and makes a decision. Just as it seemed important before to advertise the 404 and sell a culture of recruiting for the pros, now it becomes doubly important to show that the program is stable, adults are in charge and Tech is committed to winning. To simply let the season play out in a gruesome death spiral because you wanted to save a few bucks would tell every top recruit in the nation we are a Mickey Mouse program. If people think it was hard to overcome the triple option with recruits, you ain’t seen nothing if we just play out a season in which the coaches and players are just going through the motions, and the fans have given up, all because we are too cheap to stop the misery. We would be known for a generation as the Dollar General store of college football.
