[QUOTE="KeystoneJacket, post: 508719, member: 2373"] I think it's expected that fans will be whiny when a good coach leaves after only two seasons. I got my master's at Temple and had classes with a few members of Rhule's staff. Some stayed on when Collins came to town. Since he was hired I've heard "dream job" and "dying for the GT job" associated with him. I don't think the move is a surprise to anyone in power at Temple, but I'm sure the timing is. Perhaps the timing is also a surprise for Collins. I suspect both he and the school expected him to be there for at least three years, more likely 4 or 5. At the end of the day, Temple is a stepping stone job. To me that's a good thing for a school in their position. One of their big drawbacks, outside of not being a P5 obviously, is their failure to build their own on-campus stadium. I had the opportunity to do some work on the process while I was there and they have the right idea. A 30-35K seat, privately funded stadium that would bring alums to campus in the fall. Unfortunately the city and surrounding neighborhood have kept them from moving forward as of now. So they still pay a few million to rent the Linc each season and force everyone on campus to travel to South Philly. Sorry, for the tangent. At the end of the day I think GT made a good hire and I'd confident that Pat Kraft (a great up-and-coming AD, wisely turned down the Maryland job) will keep the momentum going on North Broad. So I am happy all around. [/QUOTE]
