[QUOTE="GTLorenzo, post: 783403, member: 359"] I think a lot of people outside the program see the marketing/branding, the selling of Atlanta, and the social media stuff and think it is very inventive and that these are things GT has never really done before. Most would think that selling Atlanta is a great way to go, but they likely don't truly know about how academics has held up back in the past. I think that is less of an issue these days, as along as we show we can keep kids in school, the Hill will let us bring in some recruits and transfers that we may not have been able to in the past. That's all good from an outsider. What they likely don't see if the lack of clock or game management, the press conferences and thoughts behind some of the things that have been done since Collins got here (running up tempo against Clemson and giving up 73 points, trying to play a wide open offense last year without the personnel to do it, losing to The Citadel, historic loses, "the greatest transformation in the history of college football" stuff over and over again, the not taking responsibility for things, but just continuing with slogans, etc.). I was fully on board when he got here and recruiting was good last year. It took a step back this year and I don't really count transfers in that as it's really a crap shoot as to who will actually contribute. I cut a lot of slack at the beginning of his first year, but I've seen too many instances of someone who appears to be in over his head as a head coach in the ACC. I'm still buying season tickets and hope he wins every game, but I'm getting much more of a used car salesman vibe seeing him every day than someone who drops in and out on occasion like a regional or national media figure. I hope I'm wrong, because clearly he wants to be here, but that's the vibe I get. As an aside, I've got a close friend who is in the coach/AD executive search business and attended one of our rival schools. He laughs and says that he hopes we never fire him based on the whippings we've taken the last two years, including to his school. Take it for what it's worth. He does like Pastner and hopes that he can make the tourney this year. [/QUOTE]
