NFL Combine

Another example would be GT's pro day. Only four guys participated and two of them were recent transfers (Southers and Davis).

So only one starter recruited by Paul Johnson.... That's pathetic, and there's no defending it.

What was going on the four years before the coaching change?

I know we are all ready to move on but I was curious how this compared to the rest of the ACC. This 4 year gap of no drafted players (non-kickers) is not just unprecedented at GT but in the ACC at large. Only Duke has a worse track record. Syracuse had a recent 3 year gap.

I went back about 20 years and no other 4 year gaps for any other school. Many schools have a single year now and then but even Wake and Vandy have players drafted at least every other year. I was a Johnson fan but there is zero excuse or good reason for this. Johnson turned us into Duke.

And it is likely that it would have been 5 drafts except for players that Collins directly recruited.

I think PJ understood that. That’s part of why he stepped down.
 
CPJ definitely was not the recruiter that CGC is; but then how many coaches in the ACC are. The mystery we'll never know is what would recruiting look like under CGC if Bobinski had stayed? I doubt you see Waffle House trucks, helicopters, or Morpheus if we still had Bobinski in control.

The question is why did we hire Braine and Bobinski?

I do not know; but it looks like Jacketforlife is a Sasquatch fan. In Braine's defense he was there when VaTech rose to prominence; but the defeatist attitude he had at GT set us back. I think Bobinski set the program back as well.

Serious question, I forget the timing, who was the AD during our last OB visit and win?

Bobinski was at GT from 2013 to 2016 according to Wiki. OB was in 2014. Personally I give the CPJ/DRad combo more credit for building the 2014 team than I do CPJ/MBob, and I base that on the team's decline after that season. Do you really think MBob was better for the program than TStan is?

Idk why you keep posting I’m a Mbob fan particularly when I know TStan personally and have been writing letters and imploring the powers that be to recommend him as AD since around 2013.

Because you down voted my post that was critical of MBob and then tried to defend MBob with the OB question.

Yeah probably because you’re trying to take away an OB won under his tenure. I’m not a fan by any means, particularly regarding basketball. But give the man his credit. His football program won an OB.

So if you believe MBob's program was what won the OB, why were you imploring "powers that be" to hire TStan during MBob's tenure? Or did you mean you wanted them to hire TStan *in* 2013 not "since around 2013"?

Mbob had little to nothing to do with us winning an Orange Bowl unless sitting in his office doing not a damn thing somehow contributed

Here is one application that I found useful.

I watched Jedrick Wills ot Ala in the position drills and he was incredibly smooth. To quote one reporter, "Wills was a natural in every drill he ran, displaying excellent feet and hands that looked more like a Pro Bowl veteran than a college prospect." Who was his position coach for most of his college? Brent Key.

Also watched Shaun Bradley lb Tem, who also got rave reviews. We have a few guys who used to coach defense at Temple.

Anyway, I have no reason to be a fan of either player, but I was clearly left with the impression they were both well-coached. That give me good reason to be confidence that out players are getting excellent coaching now, and that will show up to our benefit as our players gain experience and time in system.

Add Jedrick to the deep list of linemen drafted coached by Brent Key.
