[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 849446, member: 282"] That’s what I just deleted. It’s not “fair use” to post the entire article, and we’re not set up to handle a DCMA takedown request. You can click on the [URL='https://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-tech/prominent-georgia-tech-donors-revisit-their-optimistic-preseason-projections/U2SFNRLSAFGVXPJDX5HE7U4PIU/']link[/URL] The nutshell is that Zelnak and Gregg Garrett are major donors. Garrett is really well known on the Football side. I think they’ve probably been able to have a 1:1 conversation with a coach since at least the O’Leary days, if not before. (That’s not in the article, but Garrett has always had “ the inside scoop”). I won’t give the entire article, but the gist is [LIST] [*]Both of them expected to be close to bowling this year, and if a 5-7 season happened, it would be because of a couple of near-misses, but we’d be competitive [*]They both think there’s plenty of talent on the team [*]They’re PO’ed about the state of the defense. [*]For the stat-heads, we ranked dead last in passing efficiency defense [*]Zelnak wants Thacker gone, but Collins kept him “because he knows this defense” <read between the lines about next year’s defense, there> [*]Zelnak was not a fan of Patenaude’s offense (and maybe not of Patenaude) [*]Garrett is looking for 8 or so wins—not just barely winning. [*]Collins was brought in to elevate the team, and so it should be playing top of the conference. [*]No more lip service, time to win [*]Win or bust season next year [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
