[QUOTE="billga99, post: 794569, member: 1618"] I agree we need significantly more than 3 wins. But to compare it to Dodd is way unfair. GT was part of the SEC during the Dodd years (and oh by the way he is the one that walked away from the SEC), black athletes were non-existent in the South for Division 1 schools (historical black colleges were loaded with NFL talent), the Falcons didn't exist so there was no pro football competition in Atlanta for fan support. All of those things made GT the equal or ahead of UGA at that time. Now flash forward. We are in the ACC, not the SEC. The schedule in 2020 and 2021 has Georgia (Top 5), Clemson (Top 5) and Notre Dame (at least Top 10). Regardless of the coaches we have had in the last 50 years, none of them would have fared well against the talents of those three teams. So now you are talking about picking up 6 wins out of 9 games to get to a bowl. It is doable for sure but will need a lot of things to go right. Like everyone else on this board, I want to get to the day where we can compete effectively against Top 10 teams and spring the occasional upset. [/QUOTE]
