guys it's ok
When high schools 15 minutes away say they haven’t seen a Tech coach in years that’s not a money issue. When your boring ass coaching stuff doesn’t have any social media presence that’s not a money issue. When you present yourself as a gruff, out of touch, old curmudgeon in interviews that’s not a money issue.I find it interesting how often people will say that cpj didn't care about recruiting (which seems to be based entirely on how local radio felt about him), but seem to ignore GT having one of the smallest recruiting offices in the acc for a significant portion of his tenure.
For all his faults, cpj was constantly campaigning to get better funding for staff (specifically recruiting), and a sports science major to make school less of a hurdle for athletes. Theres plenty to wish he did differently, but its dishonest and a disservice to the new staff to ignore some of the issues that are bigger than the coach. If you want to see our recruiting issues continue, keep blaming it solely on the coach.
Your question is irrelevant. Tech stayed flat while spending in the CFB world exploded around it.So, you are saying you don’t understand when someone is asking a question?
Yeah, thats a fantastic point. There is no reason we cant recruit better cheaper than anyone else except maybe miami. I bet when miami was pulling in those 80s-90s classes they were spending remarkably little (reportable) on recruiting.When high schools 15 minutes away say they haven’t seen a Tech coach in years that’s not a money issue.

The fact of the matter is GT could land a top 25 class without a coach ever traveling out of the city much less the state. We should be able to operate on a smaller budget than a school out in the middle of nowhere.
+1.Practice? WTF do you have them in that you cant miss literally 7 times a year? Do you not have a single friend on the team who could take them?
Sounds like a copout. I'll take it back if your kid goes pro though. Good chance of that, right?
According to 30 at 30, Schnellenberger would just go to Liberty City or aome other suburb of Miami and make his presence known in the community. If he liked a recruit, he'd often go sit with the family and eat dinner with them. He'd sometimes leave his pipe "accidentally" so he could go back and retrieve it later. He had a process. Not saying that is our process, but let Collins follow his process. Sure, he could have come out butthurt about the game in the post presser, but a month from now, that is not what recruits need to see on YouTube. WYeah, thats a fantastic point.

You do know that one of the first things Collins did was hire a social media guy with the money that TStan gave him. Let me make it plane for you, it took money to hire a social media guy.When high schools 15 minutes away say they haven’t seen a Tech coach in years that’s not a money issue.

We could have gotten a college kid to do that as an internship. Hell Johnson probably had the $50k to hire someone to do that. I doubt he would have known how to evaluate that person.You do know that one of the first things Collins did was hire a social media guy with the money that TStan gave him.

If you think we are going to pull in top 25 classes without any coach ever traveling out of the city you have no clue.
Which coaches said this exactly? Names please.When high schools 15 minutes away say they haven’t seen a Tech coach in years that’s not a money issue.

Theres a correlation between spending and talent. If you really think gt can be top 25 in performance while getting outspent by schools like duke, you're out of your mind.When high schools 15 minutes away say they haven’t seen a Tech coach in years that’s not a money issue.

I am looking to the future. You probably missed the uptick in spending when Collins came on. But let's keep making the same mistakes with a different coach. I'm sure itll work out.I find it interesting that you don't see the diff between the two halves of the 2019 class, or the diff between 2020 and any prior class over the last decade.
CPJ gone. Let him go. Look to the future.
Yes. This.Theres a correlation between spending and talent. If you really think gt can be top 25 in performance while getting outspent by schools like duke, you're out of your mind.
How do you think we get people out to reach kids? Do you think the head coach calls every one every day? We gotta cast a wide net and get relationships with lots of kids and that takes lots of money.
It’s definitely not a false narrative. It was mentioned multiple times early when Collins first started making his rounds. You’re not worth me working to dig up year old tweets, etc.Which coaches said this exactly? Names please.
I had several people not affiliated with High School athletics tell me they say PJ visiting local kids on many occasions. You are just repeating a false narrative.
and you are repeating the uninformed clueless narrativeWhich coaches said this exactly? Names please.

Thats nice...saw PJ at three separate high schools and one cross fit over the last two years but WTF ever you dick.and you are repeating the uninformed clueless narrative
CSB.It’s definitely not a false narrative. It was mentioned multiple times early when Collins first started making his rounds. You’re not worth me working to dig up year old tweets, etc.
Also CPJ retired. He was done, on his own accord.
No you didn’t. None of this happened.Thats nice...saw PJ at three separate high schools and one cross fit over the last two years but WTF ever you dick.
He is gone...yep...it was time for him to go...but now we are stuck with Clown Collins and his pet P-Nut
That 48 point loss that the dwags suffered at our hands happened maybe 20 years prior to my birth, and is one of two losses that former UGA Sports Information Director, who current sportswriters call the "late great Dan McGill" has convinced or hoodwinked those same sportswriters into believing did not count. So in the last 20 years we have been on the wrong end of a 44 point and a 45 point differential. Whose narrative do you think that Atlanta and statewide media have bought into? If you don't think that what they write about us and what they say over the airwaves drive perception about our program, then you are kidding yourself.So, did you graduate from GT? Not really important I am just thankful you are a fan.
But are you saying losing by 45 points (and that is a disgrace) to ugag is a bigger differential than them losing by 48 points to us?
Ur right...you know all my personal comings and goings....you go f yourself...I bet you grew up a jawja fanNo you didn’t. None of this happened.
Why would a grown man have reason to be at three separate high schools? I'm calling BS on your statement as well.Thats nice...saw PJ at three separate high schools and one cross fit over the last two years but WTF ever you dick.

We need to confirm he doesn’t drive a panel van first before calling BS.Why would a grown man have reason to be at three separate high schools? I'm calling BS on your statement as well.
