[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 586075, member: 4015"] Make no mistake, it will be a difficult transition. I just finished reading Athlon's take on our team and it is not pretty. Fine, we tend to do better when people think we are going to be terrible. What I found interesting was their little box of quotes from opposing teams' coaches. Interesting reading that is, of course, given anonymously. Among other tidbits: "...the new coaching staff has brought in a lot of attention. They really needed that because Georgia Tech has been ASLEEP (my emphasis) for a long time..." "...we had some visiting coaches who saw Tech tell us they're a ways off of being even decent"(note they are talking about the offensive line) "Tobias Oliver is their best quarterback but he is definitely a triple guy" "They have no possession receivers and a lot of dudes who block and break out wide open on play actions...lots of work there" "Defensively, a little bit better news -- at least they have the right kind of bodies" "they were bad at creating pressure last year and we'd been watching their defense get slower and less physical for a while" And that is some of the nicer stuff they said about us. I read a couple dozen of these kind of "opposing coaches size up..." on other teams and with few exceptions the coaches were more negative about Tech than any other school. In all fairness, they were fairly negative about Virginia Tech as well. Stuff like: "Everyone is talking about this program. Something's not right..." They were far more complimentary of say, Duke, "Duke is on a different plane...David Cutliffe is a master tactician" The only other ACC program they dissed anywhere like Tech is poor old Louisville: "This is a total rebuild.. This one might be more difficult than Georgia Tech switching back from a triple option..." Maybe the coaches are right and it will be a long transition. I still think if we can run the table on three winnable games following Clemson, this team will build confidence and have an outside shot at gaining bowl eligibility. God only knows what the melt down will be if we lose to The Citadel. [/QUOTE]
