[QUOTE="GTLorenzo, post: 900835, member: 359"] Not 100% okay. But after 100-0, players quitting in the ND and GA games, the continuous unintended comedy of our former coach, I think you had to make more of a statement than "I have my man." He signed him to a 7 year deal with a bad buyout. He did the search. Saying he had his man was wrapping his arms and legs around Collins and putting his career on Collins' coaching job in 2023. That is not a place where I would want to be. Effectively, after the contract, the performance and the statement, he couldn't make the next football coaching hire, so effectively, he had to go. Hate it. Good guy. Not a great communicator. But would you have hung your career around the possibility of Collins turning it around this year? I wouldn't have. Maybe saying the above gets him moved to another position at GT, maybe it doesn't. But just a really bad call (hiring Collins with no real search committee) and then another bad call (saying he had his man) effectively ended his career here. The other stuff, not paying his OSU buyout, having to get a loan from GT to pay it off, poor communication skills were perhaps red flags that maybe he was in a bit over his head as well. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
