As a Tech fan, I can identify with your comment about never being sure of what is going to happen when we take the field. That has become part of our DNA, inconsistency. Just when you think you have a pretty good football team, they crap the bed and put on a real crap show.
Just my opinion on our coaching staff. I think they have a lot of grand illusions of running complex offenses and defenses that will dazzle and amaze you but they fail to handle the basics. They go all-out recruiting skill position players but forget to take care of the essentials of finding and developing quality offensive and defensive line players capable of implementing the age-old principle of winning the line of scrimmage. They compound the problem by failing to make solid game plans and when they discover that they are not working, they stay with them rather than changing to something else that just might work.
I think there is plenty of love in the locker room and within the coaching family, maybe a bit too much. It seems like there is not enough tough love and discipline to inspire and encourage/insist on better performance. Winning seems to be a secondary goal to having everyone happy and enjoying their experience.
This is where we are at. So now I do not expect great things, I merely hope we don't get embarrassed and somehow our young men find a way to overcome the poor play calling and lack of adjustments our coaching staff brings to the table. I am sorry to be so pessimistic because I am in actuality a very positive individual. My lifelong love of Georgia Tech football will not let me turn away and abandon my hopes for better results ahead. At 72 years of age, I just hope I live long enough to see us return to a position of relevance in college football. Congratulations on your win.
Go Jackets!
Like u I Love gt football. Its irrational.
Unfortunately we are getting the coaches we can afford. We are in great debt, donate the least in acc , and buy the fewest tickets. That constrains the ability to buy name brand coaches. THE mega Power 5 increased to multiples over our resources.
The previous staff coaches was hired from smaller programs. They are out of coaching or are at much lower positions.
Our present staff who are from smaller programs or have minimal track record. What we have here is on the job team learning. Ideally we would have a HC or Ast HC that is very MEGA P5 game experienced.
In future we will need to find $$ to get this individual . I would hope Tstan will "help" cgc find this coach because cgc is really a Dabo type coach.
Now we may have to exit a few coaches who arent capable of being on a staff when we are relevant playing Mega p5.
Keep the faith and go jackets.
