Virginia Tech Postgame

[TheSilasSonRising]

It wasn't the media that made CPJ give up - it was the boosters who hated him, trust me on that.

You're just straight up full of crap about the CPJ recruiting comment. Was he good at it - not really, did he hate it or was he too lazy, absolutely not.

So those boosters that are loving watching CGC lose games and hate him - they have no right to? They somehow should be forced to donate? Since I have to trust you on things I hope we all will abide by your response.

If I am incorrect on CPJ recruiting and things he was told to correct - then that makes his effectiveness as a recruiter even worse.

The media didn't help. They didn't like CPJ because he could beat Georgia. As long as Tech has a coach that knows his place then the media is just happy.

When I was at Tech, there were pages and pages devoted to Tech coverage. Probably four at least. Now? One? Maybe ....

The AJC was more Tech friendly then.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

Yes. Probably not this year, but next year ... distinct possibility.

I want to bet on it - could you give us the game?

Done & done. Thx.

He never said they were elite but the most complete defense since at every level since Temple. I mean he’s not lying or that doesn’t fit your agenda View attachment 7247

Per FEI, Pittsburgh, Duke, Miami, and North Carolina were all better defensively than Virginia Tech coming into this week. Link

Paul didn’t kill our program.

I ran companies during my career. Fairly big ones. And the key issue always was “What is our operating model and are we absolutely committed to its success?”

Was Tech “absolutely committed” to the TO? No. The donors sure weren’t. The AA wasn’t. So I can understand any coach’s frustration under those circumstances.

If any fan has a problem with our program, they need to look at the AA.

So it took them 11 years to “run him off”?

I’ve been looking at the AA since 69. And every darn year the person in charge is the Prez, not the AD.

But that is probably your point.

Idk. The last time I subscribed was 2001. Only read the free copies at the airport now.

First this comment makes no sense. Second I buy and donate to Tech quite a bit and live 1200 miles away. enough said

Well. This game sucked. Came here to try and read about it and 18 pages of discussion about Temple and CPJ. You guys don’t get bored saying the same thing over and over??

LOL....it seems that we are trying to figure out where we have gone wrong.....

Two four stars. It’s volume. If the players are good, 2020 should be much better. Good players don’t need time to develop.

That excuse worked in the summer. Everyone have 20+ recruits now. Once again have a good night

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

NOBODY here WANTS GT to lose. That is an absurd statement. But we DO want to see signs of improvement as the season goes along. We looked better against Clemson than we did today, and if you don't think that is coaching, there is nothing more to say.

Um you ever talked to him.........

Ummmm, yes.

 

[LibertyTurns]

we lost to VT by 45 who lost to Duke by 35 who lost to NotreDame by 31 who lost to UGA by 6.
anyone else speculating on the GT/UGA line??

It’s not 117 if that’s what you’re suggesting.

 

[LibertyTurns]

I will say this. I never met one fan in the seats who disliked the TO. Not one. I met dozens in the suites who hated it, even when it won. Go figure.

There were tons of fans in the stands that hated the old offense. Very outspoken as well, even when we were winning. I’m really not sure why that was.

Now, my section is thinning & the stalwarts are missing more and more every game. We’re all busy people but have dedicated the time to attend the games in person and if not there was a guest in the seats the majority of the time. Hell, there was maybe 50% attendance yesterday. Some people, I think it was just hot air, talking about not renewing season tickets they’ve had for a decade or more.

I hope we get our house in order on Thurs otherwise this is going to be a very long & sorry off-season.

I'm worried we're gonna lose a bunch of them. We have to sign these guys first you know, and the way things are looking, I can see some desertion coming.

Again, he doesn't care what you and Jimmy think right now. If you and Jimmy were moving the needle he would care. Have a good evening.

What needle?
