Got that right. As much as people hated CPJ, the man had a potent offense. At least better than what we've had. I think we can find an OC that can run pro sets and not be boring. I don't see Key going for the option.
Cheering harder isn't going to equal more wins. The coaches and players win or lose games. The fans may make life rough for visiting teams. Ultimately, it comes down to Xs and Os and Jocks and Joes.
Fan support comes in many forms, and I would argue if our atmosphere were better on gameday we would have better retention from big time players and players playing harder. It matters a little bit. What matters far more is having a rabid fanbase throwing money at the program.
He's really not that great of a coach. He's a heck of a recruiter. He's been given keys to the kingdom and now he can basically sit back and watch the show. Must be nice to have resources like that, SMH.
I would argue having faith in what you're throwing money at, matters. It's hard to give money to program that you don't agree with or like. Winning changing a lot of things. Losing only make people more careful on where their money goes.
I am haring that Stetson Bennet is angling toward a 7th year of eligibility and is transferring to Tech to be near Buster.
Yes, a punting motion can be reworked completely in less than an offseason. My son was recruited by GT and others as a punter/kicker. He attended Carol White camps and one Ray Guy camp for kickers, punters and long snappers. He later became a counselor for those camps all over the southeast. (He did attend GT and graduated with honors in ME when O"Leary was there) There are drills, very boring drills, that you must do over and over and over until you can do them in your sleep. Not fun, but it works. When I was at GT, our kicker was so bad that the coach, Bud Carson, put an invitation in the Technique requesting any student to try out. The kicker worked his tail off during the offseason and never lost his job.
It’s important to have good lines? Come on? Tell me more.
