[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 783456, member: 4572"] Exactly. Nobody sees that sort of stuff, so why are there a select group of posters on this board and fans in general that believe this sort of stuff is a problem? Obviously clock management is something that affects on field results, and is something CGC definitely needs to get better at. Other than that, nothing you mentioned is relevant to how anybody outside of the fanbase views the program. The losses will just become footnotes in history. Yeah, losing to an FCS school sucks, but Florida, Kansas, Oregon State, Iowa, Ole Miss, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and many other have done it in recent years as well, and nobody cares about those losses at all. The only FCS loss that truly still matters is Michigan to App State, and that’s only because Michigan was a preseason top 5 team in the country and a favorite to win it all that year. Literally nobody will care about the Clemson loss, or The Citadel loss, or the VT shutout, etc. if Tech starts to win games. Hell, Miami lost to FIU 2 years ago and nobody talks about that when discussing their future. Everybody on this board seems to think Miami is about to get back to levels of success they haven’t seen since the 80s and 90s. If CGC doesn’t eventually start to win then yeah, everybody will look at those outcomes and point and laugh at what a loser he was, but in no way will those games alter the perception of GT football if GT football wins games. As far as press conferences and slogans and whatnot goes, once again, who cares? It literally doesn’t matter what gets said in press conferences. Like it or not, him repeating those catch phrases and lines about rebuilding are exactly what catches the attention of both recruits, [I]and [/I]more national/regional media like Late Kick that make them aware of the change taking place at GT. If CGC were to be a strictly business guy in press conferences like PJ was, nobody would take notice to GT at all. There would be no buzz around the program. We’d just be a shoddy team with upside or promising future.
