[QUOTE="Jacket4Life9, post: 745910, member: 2264"] One thing is clear whether we want to admit it or not: Georgia Tech football needed a revamped “brand” in order to take advantage of the unbelievably competitive recruiting hotbed in which GT is situated. The game has evolved since 2008–recruiting is King now more than ever before. Ironically, technology has hurt programs such as Tech’s the most in terms of recruiting. Coaches can view a kid’s film with a simple Google search—even as late as 2010/11, coaches were still trading DVDs, etc. This has made the recruiting services (e.g. 247) more accurate IMO. There are fewer undiscovered “diamond in the rough” recruits (e.g. Michael Johnson 2-star, BeyBey 3-Star) than there were 10 years ago. Thus, we needed change. We needed a coach that knows how and wants to complete for big fish. Regardless of how you feel about Collins’ coaching ability, I don’t think you could find anyone who understands the need (and how) to change the perception of GT in the minds of 18 year olds. Even if he ultimately fails as a coach, the next coach won’t be left with any empty cupboard. [/QUOTE]
