[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 362043, member: 2957"] A very disappointing loss yesterday. It is, in my view, the equivalent of losing to a high school team. And, as one poster said, this far into a coach's tenure, you don't lose games you aren't supposed to lose. Having said that, here are a few thoughts: [LIST] [*][B]CPJ and the TO.[/B] I think CPJ and the TO are perfect fits for Tech. But you can't win if you don't execute and this has been a recurring theme for some time. [*][B]Intensity.[/B] Yesterday, a UGA broadcaster made the observation that the greatest thing Kirby Smart has done is to give the Dawg's the confidence that they can win, anywhere and at a anytime. And should. Intensity doesn't need new locker rooms, or iPhone ports, or massages. It needs a single-minded focus to play one play, the next play, perfectly. Tech teams don't seem to exhibit this. [*][B]Consistency. [/B]Zero. With our academics and schedule, 7-5 or 8-4 is realistic. Sad to say, but are still not there. Sometimes, it seems like it's the Unicorn. [/LIST] Finally, as some of you know, I like to follow the trials and tribulations of UT and one Lane Kiffin. GT is not UT. We actually have a much better coach in CPJ than UT does, but the rest of the "system" appears to be missing (e.g., recruiting, game analysts, quality staff, etc.). And yes, the AA sucks in terms of managing its financial house. I'm optimistic that TStan gets it. Now, about Mr. Lane. Lane is a bad boy. But, he is an offensive genius. And so far, he has taken FAU from a nothing to 5-0 conference record and bowl eligible in his first year. Won five straight games. May surpass Howard Schnellenberger and set a new win record for FAU. Now Lane has a chip on his shoulder and is out to prove he can coach. And it looks like he can. I only ask, why are we asking ourselves these same questions at this point in CPJ's tenure? It seems to me that CPJ can coach ... but can he run a major football program? I still don't know. Probably not. As I sit here I am wondering, what would a younger, more aggressive coach do that CPJ is not doing? What would somebody like Kiffin do for the EXACT SAME PLAYERS that we have today? Would he lose? Or create a game plan and WIN? An interesting thought experiment. [/QUOTE]
