CGC can GTFO

As bad as the end of the first half decision was, I was yelling in the beginning of the 2nd half when it was 3rd and 6 in clemson territory (no man’s land, 35-40 yd line) .. I’ll bet a hundred dollars to a donut that he has to take a time out on 4th down if they don’t convert. Sure enough, absolutely ZERO ability to make a fourth down decision without a time out. Apparently surprised 4th down was coming up after third down…

His game management, ability to think on his feet and make in-game decisions are the worst I’ve seen in 60+ years of watching cfb. No one worse. Anywhere. Any time. Period. For him to ever have used the CEO tag is an insult to every CEO in history.

that said, as one who is on record and hated the hire from day one, these in-game Decisions are good things for our program. Hopefully this will expedite things and get us shopping early in the season.

and despite the fact that I think all cfb coaches should get four years to build their program, even I have seen enough. 3.1 years works for me.

Given a choice of cgc or bill lewis, give me lewis. We are at a new low. If not lewis, can we get mike price, Charlie Weis or mike Shula? Maybe ron zook or Muschamp? Bo Pellini anyone?

Rant was ok. Ran off the rails with these last few sentences. Just shut the program down if GT can't do better than that cast of characters.
 
If we are looking for terrible coaching decisions is Gerry Faust still alive?

fear saying this one out loud for fear of someone taking me seriously but les miles?

Lee Corso’s still alive. Might even get us a Game Day.

I at first thought this was a bad call and runner was tripped up by our player or Clemson but after watching the replay several times, we had this and it was a good call - the runner just fell down. What do you do as coach when your player just falls as a result of the turf monster - I guess you had the wrong guy running it Good grief!!!!

Hey, I recognize that formation. Looks like something a high school coach would run. :dunno:

Second time he ran that motion handoff. First one they let the end through(I guess they figured he could go unblocked) and he blew up the play. That time they made an adjustment and blocked the end

I actually thought they were going to run the rocket toss to the short side. It would have worked.
 
Not sure if this is the thread where we’re talking about clock management, but whatever.

I don’t disagree in principle with “just get to the locker room” at the end of the half, but it could have been done in a way that didn’t make us look stupid or scared. Don’t take the runoff, make them punt, then take some knees or run some low-to-medium risk “see if we can break something” plays and go regroup. Nobody would even bat an eye.

Instead, we kind of clowned ourselves, and the extended period of the refs trying to get their öööö together coming out of the non-targeting flag exacerbated the clowning.

The “surrender series” in the 4th quarter was likewise poorly executed. At that point, I would have been fine with keeping it on the ground and keeping the clock running to shorten the game. But running it into the heart of the line 3 times while STILL only burning like a minute off the clock was the worst of both worlds - makes us look scared AND makes us look dumb. That’s the combo that I can’t abide.

Tech continues to be susceptible to the types of mistakes that have been damaging to its chances through Collins' first three seasons – on this night 10 penalties, two blocked punts and dropped passes. They could be attributed to first-game jitters, especially on the part of offensive linemen who were understandably jumpy against Clemson's vaunted defensive front. If Collins can get those errors corrected for the remaining 11 games, it won't be a problem. But if it's merely a precursor and also a continuation of the first three seasons, then that is a problem.

That about sums me up. I WANT to believe still, mainly because he's not going anywhere until the end of the season. Last night's game management didn't help my wanting to believe though. I do see 5-7 wins out of this team though - in spite of him. I think we'll know nothing more from the WCU game, but we'll have a clearer picture of the rest of the season after playing Ole Miss in two weeks.

Yep, I think the Ole Miss game is likely a real barometer for CGC and our season. They certainly aren't Clem or uga, but they are similar or better than the rest of our schedule. They are also at a level that's reasonable to expect us to be competitive with well into CGC's 4th year.
