Back to the original question about feelings about Collins and Key. I have said before about CGC that I am cautiously optimistic. Some believe that that is a knock against CGC or that I am working against him. That isn't how I feel.
I have heard others comment about him from the range of -- We are now on the level of Alabama and Clemson -- to -- This much hype sounds just like B*** L****. My feelings are not represented in either of those levels.
The general feelings I have seen posted are that CGC's crew will need to: Recruit better, coach defense better, coach special teams better, not drop off on offense much. They can do those things, but they haven't as of yet. We will see next fall how they can coach, but if they stumble that could be interpreted as an issue with personnel they inherited. We will see in the next two recruiting classes how they can recruit, but even if they have higher ranked classed it will take another couple of years to see if those recruits pan out and/or can stay in school. Even if the classes are ranked lower, it will still take a couple of years at least to see if those players pan out better than the websites ranked them.
CGC is the head coach for GT football, and I support him. I feel good about the things they are doing. It is far too early to form an opinion on CGC's place in the history of coaches at GT. I don't understand why that upsets some people.
