"So who’s going to be our next AD"?
Because ADTSTAN has made it clear to the boosters that his wagon is fully hitched to G**** C*******, and the boosters have made it clear that they will both take the fall next year if we don’t at least go bowling, maybe even if we don’t hit 8 wins. And neither they nor I see that as a very realistic expectation at this point.
I really don’t get it. I understand loyalty to "your guy," but there comes a point where you have to face reality and cut loose the dead weight or you’ll get dragged under. He could probably give himself another 3 years to fix the program by hiring another HC, but ADTS is placing a huge wager on next year with the deck very much stacked against him...
This has been my biggest disappointment with CGC. He came in known as a defensive specialist, but his defenses have been close to abysmal (in terms of defensive FEI):
2019: 93
2020: 88
2021: 119
How bad has our defense been? The worst season we had since the Bill Lewis was the HC is CPJ's 2015 3-9 season. That year our DFEI was 48. That was under Ted Roof. Remember Roof? GT fans' favorite punching bag until he left for Appalachian State. Roof actually had multiple DFEI seasons in the 40's and 50's. Ted Roof also had less talent to work with.
IMO, if you have a calling card, but you're no longer good at what your calling card is, then we have a problem. This is like if CPJ came in and our rushing offense was horrendous. The lack of Coaching the Boys up isn't becuase Paul Johnson, the TO, or roster management.... It is becuase he is a Crappy Coach and it is not working and the AD is going to get fired becuase he is to prideful to fire the guy he hired! Meanwhile in 2022 Bobby Dodd will be empty on Saturdays becuase the AD and Collins lost the fanbase.
