[QUOTE="joeski088, post: 508810, member: 4331"] As a Temple fan, I wish GT and Collins all the luck in the world (except when they play us), but I can't say that I'm sad to see him go. If I were a GT fan I would PRAY that he doesn't bring the OC Dave Patenaude with him. That guy has no clue how to get the most out of his talent. He wants to run HIS system, and not the system that he has the talent to run. When he came to Temple he swore he would keep the same offensive mentality of running behind a fullback and despite having what Collins called "the best fullback in the country" last season in Nick Sharga, the fullback barely ever saw the field. Needless to say, the offense was less than spectacular. You cannot run the spread without the personnel to do it. Not to mention the offense snapping the ball with 15 seconds left on the play clock repeatedly with under 5 minutes to go and a lead. Collins may be able to recruit, but the gameday coaching leaves A LOT to be desired. I hope you guys don't play Villanova or Buffalo next year, because their coaches had their way with Collins and his staff. At the end of the day, he's a used car salesman with a whole bunch of gimmicks and slogans (Money Downs, Swag Chalice, Above the Line, etc.), but very mediocre in the way of X's and O's. He's a slick talker who will convince kids to come to GT, but he's not going to outcoach anyone on gameday. He reminded me of Al Golden in that regard (although completely opposite in style). Great recruiter, good organizer, poor gameday coach. Temple had 2 strong seasons in the AAC because Matt Rhule left him with a ton of talent that outclassed most of the other teams in the conference. Outside of UCF, USF, Cincinnati, and Houston, they were stronger, faster, and more athletic than every other team in the conference. They also didn't win this season until they finally started Anthony Russo at quarterback. (Something every Temple fan had called for since the beginning of last season) I don't follow ACC football very much at all, so I'm not sure where GT stands talent-wise in the conference, but unless you guys have superior talent, I don't see Collins putting you over the top and competing for a conference championship. He will do an OK job, keep you bowl eligible and relevant, but that's about it. Despite 2 decent seasons, I'm not sad to see him go, and I don't know of any other Temple fans that are either. That being said, good luck to GT in their bowl game and next season (except for Sept. 28th). I'll be at the game and excited to see GT take on Temple in person. [/QUOTE]
