Freshmen Wideouts Will Play

Changing the subject? You are making excuses that lead to an up and down program. We even had a hell of a lot better season in 1990. I've also seen 3-8 before, but it wasn't 8 years into building a program.

Huh? When did I make excuses or even say that CPJ was doing a good enough job?

I was just commenting on JacketFan77's observation that Jacketup disappears when we do finally have a good year, and how it seems like that would suck.
 
Our receivers are good enough. We had no blocking and were thin at B Back last year. We will be fine this year.
 
I honestly believe some on this board would rather have a cheerleader as our HC who could get a top-10 recruiting class every year but it would mean we finish 0-12. "Well, at least we had a good recruiting class and put guys in the pros!", they'd cry.

They are fixed. Duke, Vanderbilt, and other schools have almost as astringent entrance requirements. What would be the purpose of bringing someone in who has no chance?

Yeah but Duke has a sociology major. Vandy may as well but I am too lazy to look it up. I remember a story years ago debunking Duke hoops and this sham of a degree. It was back in the Jay Williams days.
 
Recruiting at Tech is not a coaching problem, it's a school problem. If you think otherwise you're a damn fool.
If Nick Saban was at Tech he'd have the same record as Chan Gaily did.

Lol

Zero percent chance. Give Nick Saban that 2006 squad and I guarantee you he does better than 9-4 with a 9-6 loss to Wake Forest in the ACC Championship game.

That's not say say it's not hard to recruit at Tech, but your statement is absurd.

Yes, Nick Saban with Reggie Ball would be a world beater! He's a mastermind of offenses.

Correct. Nick Saban would have put up more than six points against Wake Forest with Calvin Johnson, Tashard Choice, and Reggie Ball. I am very, very confident of that. Gailey was a very poor gameday coach.

Ok, he might have won that game for us, but it would have been 6-3!

So in your estimation, except when it comes to recruiting, Nick Saban is not a better coach than Chan Gailey? He would have produced the same results as Chan did given Chan's recruits?

Whether it's BB or AB, I wonder why running backs would not be attracted to a run oriented offense that piles up huge yardage numbers.

Earl Campbell, Billy Sims, Spencer Tillman, and Bo Jackson were all running backs in a wishbone offense. I don't remember the NFL running a wishbone offense very much, if at all, at the time. Were these players ill-prepared for the NFL because of the offense they ran in college?

I'd actually be pretty confident with Jeune and Stewart as starters. Both looked like budding playmakers last season. Philpott and Dolphus have big upsides - hell Anderson was a pretty big get as well. Probably the most talented groups of WRs we've had on campus since I started following Tech, but we are lacking that stud we've had a few times.

You got two out of three sentences exactly right.

Since were tossing out excuses for each, Gailey didn't play against Miami or VT for 2 or 3 of those years.

I think on average, the level of the competition in the ACC is a good bit higher right now than it was 10 years ago.

and salaries on average are also higher; another stupid comparison by those without common sense

Gailey also played Auburn once and Notre Dame twice.
Click to expand...

actually, we beat Auburn twice and lost to and beat Notre Dame while Gailey was coach; so thats 0.750

2003 Auburn 3 Georgia Tech 17
2005 Georgia Tech 23 Auburn 14
...
2006 Notre Dame 14 Georgia Tech 10
2007 Georgia Tech 33 Notre Dame 3

however it is easy to see that these type of comparisons dont really offer that much information unless you are fully informed. for example, the win against ND was against a ND team that went 3-9, while the loss the previous year was to a 10-3 team. so what does it tell you that we either beat or lost to ND?? not much, really, in the absence of other data

I said entrance requirements are comparable. If a coach can't convince the kids that a business degree is better than a sociology degree, whose fault is that?
