[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 509497, member: 282"] TL;DR version: I’m cautiously optimistic, but he doesn’t even have a staff yet, and hasn’t even run a practice here. I do see some of the same patterns in deciding what a new coach is like as I do when people assign a stereotype to a recruit or an NBA draft pick. Trae Young is the next Steph Curry, or he’s just like this bust from 1992. All of our running backs for the last 10 years got compared to Dwyer. Now, Collins is getting compared to Dabo 2.0 or Butch Jones 2.0 or “the anti-CPJ”. There’s characteristics to like in Collins. It’s not going to serve anyone any good to compare him to CPJ or Chan or GO’L or Dodd or Curry. If you can’t compliment Collins without taking a swipe at CPJ or the flexbone, you’re not really complimenting Collins at all. It detracts and distracts from everything else you said. It’s like starting a sentence with “No offense intended...”; if you start a sentence that way you d*** well intend to insult and offend someone but you don’t want to get called out for it. [b]If you’re rooting for Collins, the least you can do is give him a clean slate to work from.[/b] I will put it down here that every possible complaint or negative about the flexbone, triple option, present and previous coaches, our recruiting, our dining hall, our calculus teachers, Atlanta driving, the coed ratio, Christmas music, the AJC, the Hill, academics, sucky bowl games, lack of beer in the stadium, how much beer would cost if we did serve it, kids these days, Halloween candy, stadium attendance, announcers, hip hop, Virginia Tech’s lame forum software, the board of regents, the PA system, Bermuda grass vs zoysia, how small our seats are, young loud fans standing up, old fans yelling “sit down”, club seat patrons hanging out in the lounge under the seats, the need to ban noon games, and politics has already been posted on this board, and done better. Feel free to complain about Mark Bradley; everyone does. I double-dog dare you guys to say something nice to each other. Or to give a compliment unvarnished by a condition or vent.
