Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego…um…er…Tashard Choice? (TX?)

[RabidJacket]

I wonder if Gibbs follows him there now.

That was my first thought. If so USC has struck a gold mine. (and i don't blame either one for leaving)!

 

[FredJacket]

The optics of this don't look good for the program, from outside sure looks like a dumpster fire.
Sure hope we have a plan here

Just saying hello... here from "the outside"

Let’s not forget, 1 Gibbs had his nose to the grindstone and is leaving with a degree. 2 It doesn’t look like there is a Masters program that fits him at Tech. 3 Choice probably didn’t hide his displeasure that the rest of the staff could not hold up their end of the program. 4 Gibbs wants to leave his mark with a championship style program. ( Gibbs helped prop up this program. At Dalton they won because of him. The “National High School Coach of the year” lost his job the next year after coaching a historically losing year. ) 5) Gibbs obviously is maximizing his worth as he leverages his talent for a secure future!
Best of fortunes to Tashard Choice.

This is on all of us for being too cheap as a fanbase and too broke of a program to afford and/or retain the coaches we want

No. GT's financial incompetence in the athletic department is not on me.

Gibbs isn't leaving with a degree. He was here 2 years

All in all, this is semi-pro sports. It is sports entertainment. Losing is not entertaining . TV money is paid in heaps to the victorious programs.

2 years that would have been midway in my freshman year. Enjoyed college so much it took me 7 years

I am not Gibbs but if I were, i would NOT want to gamble my next year on another rebuild. USC (I think) won 4 games last year. That's better than GT but we are debating minutia at this point. I'd go somewhere like Bama to play for championships and have others around me to share the load. If he truly is making a "business decision" he would do something like that and cut ties with CTC, no matter how much he likes him personally.

Gibbs will fit it great at Alabama and if that helps them beat uga great

We all highly respect Gibbs’ talent, but what if he wouldn‘t get much or as much playing time at Bammer. Perhaps that’s part of his thought process? It may not make any difference, but perhaps he’s looking for a high profile program where he can be the featured back.

 

[Jetdrive3]

Good call on your prognostication. Gotta be Bama. They were a top 2 before, but the 1 hour road trip for the family, the Tech degree(very important to him), glorious promises of Heisman, and a loaded Bama backfield probably proved daunting. Now an near empty Bama RB room and a QB with a feathery touch, could max his all-purpose yards. Oh almost forgot, playing for the G.O.A.T, Don’t think he will make this mistake twice.

The fan base didn‘t hire the disaster that is CGC…

Gibbs doesn't need any more playing time. There is plenty of film already and the pros know who he is. If anything he probably wants to minimize wear and tear next year until he gets to the league. the days of a guy wanting to be the featured back and getting 30 carries a game is over for the pro prospects. They are saving themselves for marriage...I mean, pro ball. The real pro ball, not the "make believe " NCAA pro ball.

 

[Jetdrive3]

Who is going to close the deals and stop the bleeding with RBs coming on NSD?
I hope CGC is going to wear shirts that fit when he pays home visits! We can chip in and get Hart Shaffer suit.

The variabile souces of money are donations and tickets. The rest - tv, bowls, etc are fixed by conference and ncaa. Texas A M has three times the Alumni. There donations are almost 7 times our donations. (each alumn gives twice as much as the millionare tech grads, stadium is 100% full every game)

We need to up our $ game to be credible. The big guys are fighting each other - Choice decided he is ready for the big time.

It would help if the school would accept more native Georgian students - I know 2 that were not accepted ( but were accepted at uga and goes there). Never made a B in their entire lives and could not get in. They would have been at every football game and involved with the school after graduation. I’m sure there are tons of examples like that across the state.

 

[Bonaire41]

Congratulations to coach choice. Yes this is a terrible loss two George Tech but it’s a great opportunity for coach choice. Programs loose good coaches every year but I’m sure coach choice has told coach Collins who he thinks he should replace him with. Again congratulations Coach Choice and you will forever be a Jacket.

[Em_Jae20]

It's obvious that CTC wants to be a head coach and this is a step in that direction for his career. With the way things are going he could be the next head coach right here on The Flats sooner than later.

Yes He is. He loaded up and went every academic semester starting the summer. 7 years? I can’t respond to that? Did your parents ge a special invite to the President ’s mansion?

They are smoking pot at the beach dreaming.
