[QUOTE="year_of_the_swarm, post: 843906, member: 3149"] Luckily Kansas went with Lance Leipold and Illinois went with Bret Bielema. Jeff Monken finishing second for both jobs. This is a gift for Georgia Tech should they want to go back in that direction. Monken lost on the road at Wisconsin (a top 20 team) by 6, and put up 600 yards of offense on a really good Wake Forest team. Scoring 56. He isn't getting beat 55-0 by anyone. He just keeps succeeding at what is arguably the most difficult job in D1 football. On top of all that, Georgia Tech needs to change its strategy. I've been saying it for years. The recipe for winning isn't that hard. Step 1: Hire Jeff Monken Step 2: Monken brings his staff with him Step 3: Install Option Offense Step 4: Change scheduling habits Step 5: Execute [B]Season 1 Sample Schedule[/B] Game 1: Georgia State (win 50-10, try to put up 500 rushing yards) Game 2: Bowling Green (win 60-3, try to put up 500 rushing yards) Game 3: Southern Miss (win 50-10, try to put up 400 rushing yards) Game 4: Louisiana Tech (win 45-17, try to put up 400 rushing yards) Week 5: Bye Week Week 6: North Carolina Week 7: Duke Week 8: Miami Week 9: Pitt Week 10: Clemson Week 11: Virginia Tech Week 12: Virginia Week 13: NC State [B]Non-Conference Objectives[/B] Get Georgia Tech into the top 25 heading into conference Play reasonable non-conference opponents from C-USA, Sun Belt, American, MAC, etc Get the rotation down... break in new players... get timing just right... improve every week Put up the best possible numbers to highlight the effectiveness of the option offense (Air Force and Army have put up these kinds of numbers this year, and in recent seasons as well. It's more than possible) Start the season 4-0 Tell Georgia to screw off most years, and just play them every now and then [B]Conference Objectives[/B] Win a minimum of 4 games in the league, getting to 8 wins total for the season Any additional wins improve status, ranking, bowl game, etc The floor for the team should be 7 win seasons Try to catch lightning in a bottle like 2014, but be a consistent program [B]Mindset[/B] Nobody should be pissed with 8-4 on a consistent basis People should be very happy with 9-3 People should be ecstatic with 10-2 People should be "ok" with 7-5 [/QUOTE]
