Sims is gone.

[BainbridgeJacket]

Probably best for all parties involved.

 

[stinger 1957]

No surprise, probably a good decision for him, wish him the best.

 

[RabidJacket]

Well--BYE.

 

[Wrecked]

Probably one of many

 

[jrgray]

Not a surprise. Was probably going to happen no matter what. He is supposedly graduating. I never felt he lived up to the hype, but with the coach we had, not sure that was possible,

 

[Spalding Jacket]

Wish him the beat of luck, watching the FSU and UF game yesterday both of their offenses looked like what I had hoped for Jeff at GT, while none of them are great passers all are electric rushers. I do think Jeff is the weakest passer among them mainly struggling with reads, anticipation and accuracy. That will probably limit his market to GT equivalent schools or below unless someone thinks they can improve his passing like Riley did for Jalen Hurts. Maybe he doesn’t find a good suitor and the next GT coach is able to bring him back, or maybe not if our fans keep slandering him…

 

[Vespid]

I'm shocked, just shocked. Good luck Jeff! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. At least you know how to properly spell Jeff.

 

[WreckinGT]

Im sorry it never worked out for him here. Hopefully a change in scenery starts to bring out his potential. Best of luck to him.

 

[BuzzStone]

Yea his parents should have never came here saying he was injured when we all knew he was just done.

 

[FightWinDrink]

I hope he gets better coaching at his next stop. He's a great athlete but just never seemed to progress much from year 1. The last staff prob didn't do him any favors

 

[GTRambler]

The grass always looks greener over there …

 

[AUFC]

Jeff can deliver a great ball and has the legs/athleticism to make plays. I think his decision making has gotten better since 2020. I don’t think he’ll have a Hendon Hooker year next year but I can see him putting up really good numbers for a P5 behind a better offensive line than what he was ever given at GT, if he stays healthy.

 

[Techster]

Sims would have been AMAZING in Fritz's offense. Pretty much unstoppable...and he would have gotten coached up.

Well, now Zach Pyron will be AMAZING in Fritz's offense. Perfect skillset to do what Tulane is currently doing. QBs and WRs on this roster need to start getting excited because they're about to light up the ACC.

 

[wvGT11]

Yawn not surprising, writing was on the wall a month ago . We have pyron and a decent backup selection now

Georgia Tech’s Jeff Sims to enter transfer portal

Georgia Tech quarterback Jeff Sims intends to enter the transfer portal, he posted on social media Sunday.

Ajc reporting it now

Top college coaches are looking for more than just athletic ability; they look at “intangibles”. If Sims truly just quit on his team, but called it “being injured”, that is likely to concern coaches at potential programs.

 

[Jacket4Life]

Pyron is the guy. Sims knows it. Probably the best move for both GT and Sims. Wish him luck.

 

[southernhive]

Bye and GL Sims. Here comes Pyron!!!!

 

[JacketOff]

I wish Jeff the best of luck. Things didn’t work out for him here. Not for him personally, or for the fans.

Sims was supposed to be the guy who lead GT football into the future, and made the charge to make us relevant again. Due to a gluttony of circumstances, it never worked out that way. Our fans expectations for him were very high, and I think he felt a lot of that pressure which compounded on his already tough situation. Everyone thought after that 2020 FSU game that we had found our guy. A legitimate dual threat at QB who could go compete for the starting job at any P5 school in the country as a true freshman. We were too giddy, too excited, and when he played so poorly in the Syracuse game it all kind of fell apart.

Wish it could’ve worked out different for everyone involved. It would’ve saved a lot of heartache for everyone involved on both sides. I’ve got no love lost for Jeff. I hope Jeff leaves GT with a positive perception of his time here. Maybe it helped him grow as a person and a player. Maybe he’ll look back at his time here fondly, and not with disappointment or disgust. It’s a shame Jeff (Sims) will be so closely tied to Geoff (Collins) when people look back on this era of GT football. Jeff (with a J) deserved a lot better than Geoff (with a G). I hope he finds somewhere that suits him and a place he can succeed at.
