Nowhere near the end of the Chan era? I assume you mean CPJ era. I agree that barring a total collapse, we will have CPJ at the helm through the 2017 season. But I think we're at a crossroads. GT either reconciles itself to a middling 4-7 to 7-5 football program or commits to improve. By commits to improve, I mean steps from The Hill to facilitate recruiting such as a more SA-friendly major and admissions exceptions. What did you have in mind?
The school had a 20% limit for exceptions in place, but according to reports it was removed in 2014. According to the reports, the school said that it is up to the coaches and the athletic department to ensure that the exceptions have the ability and keep up with their schoolwork. So your second suggestion has already been implemented.
As to easier majors, the job of the school administration is to run a top notch school, not run a professional football team. According to US News, Ga Tech is the second best public engineering school, and the fourth best engineering school overall in the country. I would say that they are doing their actual job extremely well.
