Yeah while everyone and their grandmother want to give reasons why tech can't do things, Collins says why not. He's changing the narrative that we aren't in the league to attract certain players and making tech a fun and cool destination. I can only imagine once he gets a little momentum that the sky's the limit. And this guy understands tech unlike a new outsider coach would. Does he need to focus on things like the penalties? Hell yes! Let's work on that coach and show some major improvement next year. It needs to be addressed big time. You're the coach, fix it and show we are growing and learning.Despicable, but a lot of sports people in metro Atlanta without doggie ties believe it. And Dave Braine governed with that assumption. Norm Arey was SID with that assumption. (I believe that part of the reason Johnson was hired (and Tenuta as DC before him) was the belief by management that GT needed a gimmick to win.)
Collins is the only one I know who has actively challenged it. It resulted in the 2007 class, and then Saban bought him for his methodology. He is actively challenging it again. Based on his 2007 results and the Orange Bowl with those players, I think we owe it to him to try it that way again for a while.
