[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 668312, member: 4015"] FSU fires Willie T and gets stuck with a multi million dollar buyout. That was after paying Oregon and South Florida for their shares in his buyouts. He will be paid for years to do nothing. Is this a great country or what? Tech cannot afford such largesse and we will have to hope that Coach Collins gets the ship turned around. I don't know why the fans of other schools think we should just fire a coach for having a bad year. It happens. Frank Beamer had multiple bad years but Virginia Tech was rewarded for their patience with some excellent teams. Tennessee has fired coaches right and left since Fulmer. To what effect? More underachieving football at a factory that ought to be competing with UGA and Florida instead of South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. It may very well be that three or four years from now, Tech fans will look back and say why did we not fire this guy before when all the signs were there? Or, we might be looking back at the wreckage of once proud programs at FSU and Miami and be thinking whew! That was close. If we had done what they did and fired Geoff after a bad second year we would be where they are instead of enjoying unprecedented great recruiting classes and a program on the rise. It could happen either way and I would not be the least bit surprised. [/QUOTE]
