Commitment

BarrelORum said:
You are full fledged ööööing moron with no perspective of the situation we are currently in. You look at the Coach as the end all be all of why we can't beat two top 20 teams. So lets go fire the coach and hire someone else, right? That will fix everything will it? Because if you think it will, you are an imbecile who just needs to take his full time seat at the baby table and you can big cry your stupid little ass until you get what you want. What YOU want will put us one step closer to irrelevance and obscurity. Our program is a hairs width away from being a perennial doormat and you're so ööööing stupid to understand that you think changing coaches is the answer.

Now am I perfectly happy with Paul Johnson as our coach? No. I think his recruiting has sucked donkey balls and some of his position coaches most notably his fat bag for a OLine coach are damn horrific. Do I think he is the best we can hope for given our current set up? You are damn right I do and if you don't understand that you 1.) lack understanding of our history 2.) lack understanding of our financial situation, 3.) lack understanding of the commitment by our school and athletic association.

The leadership in the GTAA since Homer Rice left has been in absolute shambles. Dave Braine wasn't half bad at raising money, but he was ööööing horrible in managing money hence the Gailey and Hewitt buyouts which have practically crippled us. Then we hire DRad and he brought some excitement and enthusiasm, but he got out the door to Clemson as soon as he realized the horrible financial situation we were in would take years to fix. Then we get good ole MBob which polarized the few big donors we had and furthermore polarized the majority of donating alumni and fans.

GT has had one foot in the door and one foot out the door on their commitment to generating top athletic programs for years. For a school that is committed to excellence in everything it does, it blows my mind why the attitude that excellent academics and excellent athletics are for the most part mutually exclusive. O'Leary worked hard in forcing that issue. When he left, we brought in Chan, accepted the NCAA fates of core curriculum requirements, and the Hill pushed for less tolerance in accepting athletes. This stagnated with an inability to break the 7 win barrier. Paul Johnson was promised changes by the Hill in order to run what he deemed to be a successful operation. Those changes have not matriculated. Paul Johnson was hired because the school didn't want to emphasize athletics anymore. They just wanted a coach and a system that could even the playing field. That's basically what PJ has done. In the meantime for marginal season he has had, he has given us two 10+ win seasons, and one 9 win season. Better than all of his predecessors. He took us to a BCS bowl and won.

Until you recognize the extremely fragile nature that is Georgia Tech athletics, be careful what you wish for. We won't be luring away any prime time coaches to come to this öööö hole environment with minimal athletic support and staff restrictions given the restrictive nature with which the school allows GT athletic programs to operate. Firing PJ is only going to deepen the doo doo we are in. Fix the mindset of the program and the commitment the school gives to athletics. Open up the budget to include for more recruiting evaluators, staff, facilities, etc. Fix the financial issues that plague the GTAA, and then and only then does it make sense to fire a coach for not performing.

You may not like it but the bottom line is if we don't address the macro problems our program has, addressing the micro problem of our coaching is obsolete.

I know you did. You know how I know?
1.) you're a bad poker player and it's like watching an amateur try to bluff into a made hand to win a pot. You can't help yourself.
2.) you're a princess and when someone whips their dick out in the big dick contest, you stfu and listen.

Yeah. Tashard graduated HTS. Now their professors (and pretty much all IAC) are known for scheduling to avoid athletes despite being the easy majors on campus.

If there is any truth to this, seems like some low hanging fruit to go after the Hill for...
 
Chuck and Chernoff talking to Stansbury right now.

He said obviously we have a passionate coach and he is frustrated by the past two weeks. We are committted and the league is tough. Maybe the toughest in the country. We know it is important for coaches and players to have what they need to be successful. He knows that the donor base is committed and he's looking forward to getting started.

He said that he has not yet spoken to Coach about his concerns and ideas going forward. But he says that we are absolutely going to compete.

And just like that, I've heard more from this guy than I have from Bobinski. Low bar to clear, I know, but I'm on board. Let's do this.

But did he say who we are going to compete against?

I like his style. He's not worried about little things like coach speaking out. He wants to win!
 
I heard as well. Not reactionary, but confident. He can say, my name is Todd, in French. That could be useful. I like'd it.

It really was amazing how bad Bobinski was at alumni/fan relations. It's like he barely made an effort.
