[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 842689, member: 1640"] I have been angry and frustrated with part of our fan base sense the Bud Carson years. Every coach after Dodd has had to face a gauntlet of nay sayers. I could name ever coach and give examples of how some group or another agitated steadily for their demise. There was only one coach I didn’t support from the get-go and that was Lewis. It felt like too big of a leap in his career based on scant data. But I never called for his firing. I just quit buying tickets and quietly disappeared. I am still sore about the shoddy treatment CPJ got and the fans who amplified all the criticisms of opposing teams who hated having to play him. It didn’t have to be that way. No limit to the heights he might have taken Tech with more support. I supported CGC when he came in, loved his claiming the ATL, his youth focused messaging, and I even loved the Waffle House shtick. But it felt like we got more passive aggressive shots at the former coach than we got actual coaching on the field. Now we have a mess of our own making but we have the same old fans. Whoever comes next needs our support and our patience. But if a coach can’t get the right players on and off the field, has trouble with timeouts and can’t seem to correct players being out of position for three years, we need a serious conversation about the job they are doing -without spite or malice or hidden agenda or blaming past coaches. I will wait to see if this situation, as well as our conversation, can be turned in a positive and fruitful direction. [/QUOTE]
