[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 835482, member: 789"] There was nothing wrong in Tstan or CGC’s goal or the thoughts behind it- change the perception of GT, recruit better, then the wins will come. The need to disenfranchise a portion of the fanbase by clever potshots at the old regime put people on their heels, some over their skis. Now we got a problem & it’s a classic leadership issue. How do you decide if the seed you planted has not germinated yet or it ain’t never going to grow? We need to keep the media strategy, maybe some of the more embarassing elements need to be tempered but in general it’s better and needed. We need to figure out if we’re actually recruiting better. Is it the media strategy leading to our recruits getting an under the radar point or two bump now we didn’t get before, is it the fact we’re recruiting more skilled players ala our peers and less role players, is the fact we’re recruiting in different numbers? We clearly have 1 way above average recruit- Gibbs, one that may be above average- Sims, then what? Just saying, I see all the hype but other teams with youngsters have them playing and contributing way earlier than GT does typically. Lastly, coaching clearly needs changes. They are a level or two above where each of them should be. I’d start with the assignments/roles of Key, second target would be Thacker and it’s close, then there’s the other one I won’t mention because he seems to be a darling on here. He’s doing less with more OR we go back to my statement above that recruiting just isn’t really there like we think it is. It’s not neither. It’s time for Tstan engagement. If I were him, I’d get CGC out of the traditional HC role and get someone competent underneath him. Put CGC in a CEO/media role selling the program, get a HC running the program underneath him, I’d find Key a position like asst line coach, Thacker might be another keeper in the non-DC role, the last one has no role. He hit his glass ceiling at 1AA and has nothing really to contribute at this level. If Tstan does not move rapidly, ie by the end of the season, he risks everything and will further damage GT football for a very long time. The revenue picture cannot look good & you can’t keep asking people to pony up when extreme apathy has set in across the program. Only VT looks more apathetic than GT does, their team did not even care yesterday. There’s a fork in their coach already, he’s done. We got beat by a team that has for the most part given up, nothing more startling than that yesterday. Please Tstan, do something. [/QUOTE]

How many points did Georgia Tech score against Cumberland in 1916?
