[QUOTE="Old South Stands, post: 552495, member: 1036"] Not casting doubt on the new staff at all. It seems like a better staff than we could have hoped for under the circumstances. A pretty good group. I'm (*cautiously*) excited. However, there are certain realities about college football these days. It seems programs are selling out to get that brass ring, and money and resources are no longer an object for many. It's more cutthroat than I've seen in over 40 years of watching football. Ten-year coaching stints were once normal, and a few guys even coached for an entire generation. Now, the patience of fan bases, major donors and sports writers is incredibly short. Kirby Smart, for example, was hired to do the one thing Mark Richt failed to do: bring a championship to Athens. If he doesn't do that soon, considering his high-profile failures, then he will likely be on the hot seat soon. I don't see Coach Collins under that kind of pressure, but that is the situation Tech faces in many of its opponents, especially among the top-tier programs. It's going to be hard to compete against a lot of that. To your comment: "Paul Johnson retired. Leave it alone." Unless the moderators determine otherwise, or if one happens to be actively denigrating the new coach, this is an open forum for all kinds of Tech Football topics. And as it turns out, Paul Johnson's legacy is a very important topic. CPJ accomplished a lot and touched a great deal of people during his time here. (Other coaches have retired or left Tech as well.) [/QUOTE]
