Expect Big Player Shift Next Season

Anyone who wants to leave, leave.
Anyone who wants to stay, let’s do this.

But I sure as öööö hope we don’t hire an inferior HC so we can retain guys recruited by clown who would otherwise leave.

Nothing about Batt tells me he would be a Deion guy, thankfully.

Hopefully JBatt isn’t dumb enough to mandate the existing class be honored regardless of the new coach’s opinion

rescinding offers would be a douche move. If commits want out after a coach is announced, we should understand. Telling players any offer they got from collins or Key is now null damages the program’s credibility.

Credibility? You serious. The previous coach took care of that already. We are a joke right now and the only thing that changes that is winning games. No amount of “goodwill” or “intentions” or “ethics” will change us from joke status. Winning football games is the only measure of non joke status. We could hire Belichek and solve homelessness and we would still be a joke football program until it leads to wins.

I'm beginning to think that Atlanta is not as big of a draw for coaches or recruits then we think it is.

Hell, I don't even like going to Atlanta.

It’s Atlanta the kids aren’t attracted to. Not the four years in a row of abysmal losing seasons at an engineering school.
 
I have to say, I am not shocked. However; I really think the right Head Coach could stop or at least minimize the number of transfers. If Key is selected, yeah; I expect a ton of players to leave. Despite the many things GT can offer, a winning program, is not one of them. Kids want to be associated with winners. The days of loyalty and stick with your team, are gone.
 
I want to offer a tinge of optimism. This season has been rough and it is not over yet. We will likely lose some kids to the portal, but that is going to become business as usual for all teams moving forward. The good news is this team is young. Going through a major shake up and grinding it out together will only cement their trust in each other. This team could be very good in 1-2 years if leaders emerge and they decide to go all in "band of brothers" style.

Let's also acknowledge we now have a potential gunslinger in Pyron we can rally behind next season. UCF and UVA could have broken our way this season. There was a moment when we had a path to the ACC championship. And I am looking forward to watching Charlie Thomas break Brock Bowers ribs and Keion White hit Stetson Bennett so hard his balls finally drop.

I must have missed the last re-building.

It was in progress. You can't rebuild without tearing the old building down first, and Collins was doing a hell of a job at that. Probably would've started construction on the new building next season.

According to the sports talking heads this AM, a LOT of Tech players will be hitting the portal at the end of the season. Looks like whomever we hire as the next HC will have yet another re-building process. Oh goodie goodie. Something I'm not looking forward to.

Addition through subtraction. Get everybody who came here for "Club 404" and other GC clown-isms go by the wayside. Get the real football players the coaching and support they need.

But you can renovate without tearing down to the foundation. Just don’t trust the GC telling you what it’ll cost.

Kinda agree. Hard to have that Atl experience you see in movies, music videos, tv shows, etc. without some $$$. Can't just up and go to Magic City or the Cheetah without having a job, some serious NIL $, or a booster who is going take care of the bill.
