[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 510552, member: 2175"] I am counting on Collins being as good as advertised on the defensive side of the ball because he is going to have to reverse 11 years of unintended consequences: having to outscore the other guy. Now he will have to keep the other guy from scoring, and his points allowed at Temple the last two years are about what GT allowed in the same period. I too wonder what "NFL based" means, since it implies chunking the ball a lot, mostly short slants, curls and drag routes mixed in with the occasional deep throw. But those 67% pass completions don't come with a vertical passing game. You get those in the NFL by dinking it quickly up the field. Quickly to keep your QB from getting maimed. I gather we do not have that QB on the roster or recruited in? (His Temple QB was big but not terribly mobile, but was a redshirt so I gather Collins had not recruited his own QB into the system. And note that his wins of 7 and 8 made a record Johnson was criticized for. So can he be better?) That 7-year contract brought me up short. That's one of those that normally comes after a lot of success -- Swinney got an 8-year deal a couple of years ago after 6 or 7 years of winning. I hope Collins can recruit, but he has not been at one place long enough to find out, and that is not meant to be snarky. It is just a fact. When a coach leaves the motor running he is recruiting short term. I appreciate he wants to use GT's standards as a sales tool, but again, that is not new either. If I recall Johnson said the same thing the first day and had just used it at the Naval Academy ... even though he had gotten some exceptions.

So are we looking at a 2-year-window? or a 4-year window? I think that 7-year deal is Stansbury's concession of a very long and uneven haul for Collins. I was kind of pumped up that Tech would open with Clemson on a Thursday night ACC TV network opener. Not so much now. They did Collins no favors with that scheduling, since I gather Clemson expects to be loaded again in 2019, a year in which the ACC is expected to rebound from mediocrity in 2018. [/QUOTE]
