We beat VT by 21 last year with a player that you describe as a "weak armed backup outfielder." Moreover, VT's starting defensive line averaged 6'1 and 265 pounds yesterday. Feel free to provide an excuse for why that VT DL was too large for our players to overcome.Totally disagree. We weren’t a bowl team last year at all. As proven when we got waxed in one of the lowest tier bowls that exist. Bowls are a joke and no longer a marker. As for player development, I’m seeing a lot of it. But the problem Collins and Key have is you can’t develop what you don’t have. We don’t have a QB and we don’t have an offensive line. I’ve coached baseball before and you either have pitchers or you don’t. No coach can develop a weak armed backup outfielder to be a pitcher. That is what you are judging Collins on? Right now, we are absolutely the definition of a dumpster fire. But this isn’t 2015 in year 8 of a system. This is year 1 with a coach who was given a few weeks to salvage whatever Johnson called a recruiting class, with zero QB’s, and the smallest OLine in P5, yet y’all are ready to run him off. Did y’all not see our guys compared to UNC’s players? We looked like a middle school team in size. Collins will fix that but he can only do it 25 players at a time.
Fact: We have dropped from 19 to 87 in offensive FEI rank. This is likely the most direct cause of the negative results on the field.
Fact: GT is 2-8 under CGC.
Fact: CGC now has a losing record as a head coach.
Fact: GT was just shut out at home for the first time in 62 years.
Fact: GT lost to the Citadel.
Objectively, the aforementioned facts are concerning. Again, you are free to disparage 18-21 year old players at your leisure, especially on this site, but please spare me the use of predictions to hand waive criticism of current results.
