[QUOTE="RickStromFan, post: 646087, member: 4403"] Hiring another service academy coach just kicks the can of football irrelevancy down the road a few more years. Fan interest in that type of offense - and defense - was gone. Attendance was dwindling. Season ticket sales were cratering. We were 1000 miles away from a CFP berth. Outside of some vocal fans on message boards, no one took us seriously - we were seen as a gimmick offense on those awful Thursday night games we typically lost (and no one mentioned how badly we played defense). We were never winning the ACC again, trying to beat a Clemson with that sort of offense -- and defense. We weren't close to beating a kirby shart-coached team, now that he's got his kids in there, as the last 2 years have shown. There's no logical reason to think a Coach Woody was going to turn things around on defense. Given the complete lack of fundamentals (tackling, angles to ball carriers, still playing that stupid soft pass coverage) we saw the entire 2018 season, it's likely things would've gotten worse on D, if that's even possible. We can see that we've actually got decent size in the secondary - not sure why Coach Woody couldn't do much with it. Hiring another service academy coach would've likely killed the program. TStan knew it and hired the opposite and reversed the money flow and interest. Most fans understood this is a big rebuild and will give CGC the time required to get the Option Scheme effects out of the program. Those who don't understand that, or who wanted a Service Academy guy, weren't going to be happy with ANY hire unless it was a continuation of a scheme that was bottoming out. If CGC has done nothing after 3 years, he'll almost certainly be replaced with a coach who won't be facing the type of rebuild/scheme-change CGC is facing. He won't be replaced with a service academy guy though. Those days are over - that experiment is done. You should start placing prop bets on GT's 2020 and 2021 season now if you think we're going to tank for "2-3 years". PM me some "2-3 years" stock advice too, please! [/QUOTE]
