Spring Practice

[iceeater1969]

First of many to come no doubt. Obviously, this was a bad hire. Handwriting's on the wall. It's all downhill from here.

Does anyone know what CBK's buyout is?

Whoa, dont try to butt in the ' i hate the new coach line. I was there first!

I have set the bar at " failing to make magical in game adjustments so we beat clemson and uga every year". I am sure the new coach will fail.

A goof up in spring practice scheduling is weak sause.

MOTTO
We are gt. OUR MOTTO
-BECAUSE w r a small school w millionare alumni that donate the least, we demand our head coach be perfect.
Engineers rule!.

Let's keep this thread about Spring Practice. Any shots at Collins can be directed here: https://gtswarm.com/threads/geoff-collins-worst-gt-coach-of-all-time.25569/page-17#post-940456

I find it hilarious that there’s an entire thread dedicated to tip toe man, but I digress. Spring ball is going on or something?

tech fans hate tech more than our rivals so keeping a list sounds like normal fan activity

One point for calling out the constant negativity of some of the fan base.

Minus two points for stretching hyperbole to the breaking point. Most Tech fans sound like fans of any team anywhere when going through rough times.

But I’ll keep monitoring your responses.

I actually liek the break. It reduces injury risk

Imo, the break is where coaches share preliminary players evaluations so they are ready watch for for specifics in decision tree to make good decisions in portal and NIL that happens at end of spring practice.

New decesion calender w portal and nil.

Gt had bad head coach and a terrible record, but did pretty well in portal ( white could go in first round). Many of us kept thinking TFP would click and figure out his job.

Anyway with some sign of life ( new coach. OC type from national champion, etc), we are fishing in the big boy pond for transfers.

Got to be effectively putting out and responding to feelers..

A good portal would be a great first step.

Georgia Tech developing new group at wide receiver

Of the 134 receptions made by Yellow Jackets receivers last season, 106 of them were made by players no longer on the roster. Of the 134, 100 belonged to Nate McCollum (transferred to North Carolina) and Malachi Carter and E.J. Jenkins (both pursuing the NFL).

There really is a lot of potential in this group. Leary already can be a real weapon on jet sweeps, Rutherford is poised to have a McCollum-esque breakout season, Blackburn and Janneh have a lot of potential as big outside threats, and Chase Lane should provide strong leadership and experience. Not to mention that Boyd, Moore, and/or Blackstrain could break onto the scene with some good development from their new coaches.

i’m hoping the scheme gets some guys more open. last year i felt like we didn’t get much separation and i’m not sure how much of it was a talent issue and how much of it was a playcalling issue

I think it was a little bit talent, a little bit scheme, and a big lack of development prior to the coaching change. Jenkins has a ton of talent, and it seems like our staff needed to do a better job of teaching him how to leverage it into results. Carter had potential that went untapped as well. It seems like we struggled at developing outside receivers under TFG, but we could always get production from the slot for whatever reason. That could have been a scheme thing as well, I suppose.

Georgia Tech spring game to have presenting sponsor

Georgia Tech will have a presenting sponsor for its spring football game, tapping a dormant revenue stream for the athletic department. The April 15 scrimmage at Bobby Dodd Stadium will be presented by Georgia’s Own Credit Union, the athletic department announced Thursday.

Buyout reduces over time. 50% by year 4.
The 5 year deal is worth 15 m. total. It escalates from 2.8 m. in 2023 all the way to 3.2 m. in 2027.

Boy, you haven't lived until you have been a Miami coach that just raised the ire of the Canesinsight crowd. At the height of hate Geoff or Bill Lewis mania did anyone ever hire a plane with a "Fire ________"? That happened to Golden and Manny at least twice. I admit Miami has high standards and is notoriously quick to pull the trigger but their fans will rip a coach to shreds at the slightest provocation. It's a wonder Manny has enough self confidence left to go to the mail box.

I htink a lot of this is coachspeak, but if the QBs develop some of it might come true. This position concerns me more then any other. Losing McCollum was a major blow and a brand new coaching staff usually takes a year or two just to get the players on the same page. But who knows? I do think that having Rutherford back is a major plus and that he will be the main target. He's talented enough to make some noise for the team once the season starts. It's finding someone else (or two) that will prove the difficulty, imho.

I think that is the CU that ugag's TE has got an NIL deal with, if I'm not mistaken

Hope so!

Experience, continuity could bolster Georgia Tech offensive line

A year ago, Tech was figuring out how to replace three starting offensive linemen.

Does Joe Fusile have a scholarship now? He's certainly earned it.

Does Joe Fusile have a scholarship now? He's certainly earned it.

Agree - he had some issues early when on island against athletic DE, but really improved. Seems like he is strong and has high ceiling.

What about Jason Moore - 95? He was able to get into backfield with a very strong rush. Maybe a coat tail thing w Kion White,

Both of these guys seem to have good leg strength.

Couple of academic high achievers here:

Jason Moore

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

"Majoring in nuclear and radiological engineering … Two-time member of ACC academic honor roll."

Joe Fusile

"Majoring in electrical engineering … Member of ACC academic honor roll."

Don't know about Moore (does he have a scholarship?), but Fusile has definitely earned a full ride IMO.

I think it may be good to practice for a week then Spring Break. Let everyone know what is expected, give them the information and specifics and then see which ones use Spring Breal to come back smarter and more ready - who is committed.
