DT Mike Lockhart Gone

I do not enjoy saying this, but Stansbury and Collins have reduced our once proud football program to being a "farm team" for football programs with competent ADs and good head football coaches.

If this were the best Tech could do, we should drop sports. But, it is not close to the best we can do. In fact, it is the worst we can do.

If everybody wrote President Cabrera (?) and told him they would not contribute one penny to any Tech sports or non-sports fund raising campaigns or buy one ticket to a Tech spitting event until changes are made to the AD and head coaching positions, things woukd change immediately.

We are the people paying the inflated salaries of bad coaches and administrators. We have the power to eliminate this problem and make Tech strong in sports again. If we don't do it, it's our fault.

I have nothing personal against Collins or Stansbury. I hoped they would succeed. I assume they are good people. But, they are destroying something that has been an important part of my life for many decades. Every day they are in their jobs, things get worse. What more has to happen for drastic changes to be made?

Some say we can't afford to make changes right now. I say we cannot afford not to make changes.

There is a possibility you are completely misreading what is actually going on. I'm not trying to be disagreeable and I know you have been around for a long time (as have I) but I'm starting to wonder if I have been looking at the recent transfer exodus the wrong way. I'll just leave it at that for now.

Pretty sure he was recruited as a linebacker. Not that it matters - just found it interesting. Not sure how moving from LB to DL works out on average.

I dunno about that. He was listed as a DE coming out of HS. I think our plan was always DT for him, though. He was always going to be a project.

Thank you. I hope I'm misreading what's going on, because the way I'm reading it makes me very sad.

I have written TStan telling him that I think he is doing an exceptional job. I think the football is on the verge of becoming good. I did tell him that I thought he needed to “encourage” CJP to drop the Princeton offense and to bring in a recruiter. I congratulated him on the success of our other programs. I told him I had re-uped my football tie and added 2 more.
 
I suppose he felt like he had made it when he saw his name Above The Line the first time. No worries, we can go to the portal and find another malcontent who was third string at Morehead State or somewhere to throw in there. If it doesn't pan out, give him a towel and tell him to jump up and down like a clown to show excitement on the sideline.
 
Or it could mean we’re sticking with a 3-3-5 and we’ll only have one DT on the field at a time so opportunities to play are cut in half.
