[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 828953, member: 1451"] I’d like to follow up on this (after the edit window expired) to clarify my position. I [B]don’t[/B] like posting in this thread, simply because of the thread title. I [B]don’t [/B]want to see Collins summarily fired, and I understand that he still needs time to get things into place. I personally don’t like the “style“ he has displayed—but I get that his style is not directed at me. (At some point, I hope he realizes he should start addressing himself to people like me who are significant, not necessarily “major”, contributors to the program…but he gets a pass on that for now, as he builds “his” program.) I get that he is targeting the kids that he wants to draw into the program. But when the dust settles, those 17/18-year-olds aren’t dummies. If [B]they[/B] start to see that Collins‘ persona is empty “schtick” rather than real “scheme”, his recruiting prowess is in danger of drying up. I don’t want to see that happen, because it is the obvious strength that he brings to the table. Really—I like what he is doing in terms of bringing talent to our program. That being said, I am worried that the inconsistency of our performance on the field will ultimately turn away that talent. If we are going to recruit with an aim toward “preparing student-athletes to become pros”, we need to start showing week-to-week consistency on the field that will show those kids that this is the place to be. Talking “the talk” and dressing in skinny-leg pants might seem cool on the surface, but if there is not substance underneath that—and so far we have not shown that [B]reliably[/B]—kids will see through it. Bottom line: I want GT to be successful. As long as CGC is our coach, I want him to be successful. I’m hoping that the mis-steps that I’ve seen so far from our coaches will get fixed, and that this “fire Geoff Collins” thread will die in a blaze of spectacular wins. [/QUOTE]
