Nope, he's from Texas, will probably head to the Big12 in hopes to be another transfer QB out there that gets into the NFL because they play no defense.Any chance Jalen Hurts transfers here?
Really looking forward to that safety tandem next year.Georgia Tech 4-3 (we could stay 3-4)

So...
Assuming we hire Collins, we're obviously moving away from the TO and will likely be moving to more of a spread option. Here are our scholarship numbers by position as of now:
QB's: 5 (2 incoming freshmen)
RB: 12 (2 incoming freshmen)
WR: 8 (2 incoming freshmen)
TE: 0 (for obvious reasons)
OL: 17 (2 incoming freshmen)
Here's my question... who would you move where? I know this is premature, and we don't really know what the plans are for the offense. We'll need tight ends (perhaps Camp, Harris, Jump, Cooksey might be options?)... we'll need to move some of those AB's to slot receiver roles I would guess?
We can't have 12 scholarship RB's for an offense that runs only 1 or 2 RB's.
So... what would you do if it were your decision to remake the offense with what we have now?
H Back !!! Now you're talking Wisenhunt's specialty in the NFL.Most of our WRs are smallish TEs who can block, but not run routes very well. I think you will see a few A Backs converted to RB and others converted to H Back or WR. The question will be the QBs and how many will be converted to another position.
Thanks for the first cut.Georgia Tech 4-3 (we could stay 3-4)

Collins might keep a flex package in the offense. Imagine having to prep for Tobias to come in and run zone option as well as a spread system.
Was it a gimmick in 1999? Every formation has positives and negatives. Nothing wrong with having a flex package if we think it helps us win. George O'Leary seemed to think it was an okay to run from at times.If we are serious about contending for championships we have got to realize it is way past time to be playing these types of games.
Need to truly coach the OL how to block, get our own O system that will help us become attractive to a wider group of recruits.
Develop players with coaching and get them bigger and stronger with S&C.
No more gimmicks.
Time for us to go first class and stop screwing around.
Tobias would make a helluva runningback.Biggest winners of the change on offense imo:
The Morgan Twins. Didn’t possess the quick to be good in the option.
Defoors
Austin Smith- would love to have him on defense but may be a right tackle
Biggest loser
Tobias Oliver: what is he in the new offense
Cottrell: can he play the slot or can he run inside the tackle and make people at the 2nd level miss with his speed. Would love if he could become our McCaffery

This is what I don't understand. People glorify the GOL offense while bashing the option. I would love going back to that 1999 offense, but it still has a lot of option, so would the option haters bash it? I feel like the option has been a staple of successful GT offenses. We don't need to run JUST the flexbone, but I don't see why we should completely abandon something that has proven to work in multiple eras of football including our current one.I for one hope we keep the midline and speed option. Especially on the goal line.
On another note: Dang, I forgot how fun Friedgen's offense was. He ran opition out of multiple sets. There's actually a 30 play later in those highlights off another formation. That was a fun blast from the past.
