Potential Head Coach Hires

[ATL1]

The offense at Temple scored points once they switched qb’s.

His offense is fine..

It's not official. It's pending things like a background check so let's not count our chickens.

My fault, got too excited

Putting myself in his shoes, this may not be the dream job, but he should obviously be invested. I think he will work hard to not screw this up. I think he is still hungry, and that's a good thing.

Well it is page 222 so this is the page where the new coach is hired.

Got to wait for it to be official.

Can someone give me more information about Collins? It looks like he may be the one. What are his strengths? His record at Temple was fair, not great. What kind of recruiter is he. Is he capable of taking us to the next level of success? Is he a better candidate than Elliott? I know that’s a lot of questions.

Id suggest watching this. Really is awesome. He’s a really good recruiter, likes to get the city involved and create new fans. Will hype the program in a MAJOR way imo.

You guys know we play Temple in the first few weeks of the season. At Temple.

Forgot about that. That one should be interesting, whether we hire Collins or not.

Going from the 3O to the stanky leg spread where the QB stomps his foot and claps his hands.

Is it coincidence that I’m going to Waffle House in the morning on the potential sane day we are hiring CGC who has the cheesesteak video af Waffle House. I’m going to get a cheesesteak omelette. Just like coach,

Gonna be great

Also, who would want to live there? I am sure his family is ready to be warm again and to be around more people with some common sense.

You haven’t traveled much, have you? I’m sorta kidding you, sorta not — that is a pretty provincial attitude.

Actually really happy to hear Stansbury met with Norvell and Littrell and he still considers Collins to be the top candidate (or potentially already head coach). I feel much more confident that we're making the correct hire because guys like Norvell and Littrell are very good. Littrell is projected to go to Kansas State, for what it's worth.

Maryland, the geniuses who paid the ACC tens of millions of dollars to become a fish out of water in the Big-whatever-they-are.

10/12.

Can’t wait to see how we fill out the staff.
Don’t we owe woody one more year on his contractif he doesn’t leave? Might as well keep him as a position coach if you don’t want him as DC.

 

[COJacket]

He got a 2 year contract so I wouldn’t worry too much about him.

Not worried. Just sorry he did not get a couple of years to show what he can do. Since this last year was not great it may hurt him going to the next gig

What? This guy doesn't sound like he believes " it is what it is"!

Dave P’s offense at Temple.

Rumor was that Geoff was actively seeking GT. Maybe Maryland AD texted him and he told them to get lost. We will never know. If he's picked, let's assume it's because TStan believes he's the best available.

That, plus there’s nothing wrong with GC wanting the GT job.

Collins resume:

2010: FIU DC - DFEI 70
2011: MSU co-DC - DFEI 26
2012: MSU co-DC - DFEI 47
2013: MSU DC - DFEI 14
2014: MSU DC - DFEI 20
2015: UF DC - DFEI 22
2016: UF DC - DFEI 6
2017: Temple HC - DFEI 29, OFEI 97, Overall 57 (GT 51)
2018: Temple HC - DFEI 25, OFEI 57, Overall 35 (GT 71)

As you can see, every place he's been a main DC (outside of FIU), he's fielded extremely good defenses to elite defenses. On the offensive side, his teams made a marked improvement from year 1 to year 2. He's made defenses better everywhere he's been. His overall FEI was pretty good in 2018, much better than what CPJ and GT did.

Something I've said earlier as well as others: the key for Collins will be his OC. Bring in a good to very good OC, and GT will own the Coastal.

Recruiting, IMO, may not be as good as we all believe he should be. In 2017, Temple came in dead last in the AAC for recruiting (according to 247)...though you can say it was his first year. In 2018, his first full year, Temple finished #7 (out of 12) in the AAC. This year, with the most commits in the AAC at 24 (next closest is ECU with 19), Temple is at #5.

Maybe it'll improve since he's returning to his "roots" in GA and the Southeast. If he's really our next HC, we'll have the answer to that soon enough.

Collins looks good on the surface, but based on history I’m not sure we’d have him for more than two years. That worries me a bit...

Based on his history, Paul Johnson should only have stayed at Tech 5-6 years.
