It was a very sad day.Arguably more than the two games I listed above, 2013 should have been a win. I had forgotten Butler kicked a 22 yd FG after we were up 17-0. If the O sticks it in the end zone there, we go up 24-0 and I doubt UGA makes the comeback.
And CPJ never played college ball and CGO lied about playing so I’m not sure that would have come into play. I know Bill Lewis lost that team somehow. Tom Luginbill comes to mind.
I thought firing Chan was short sighted at the time but I supported CPJ too. We fired Chan because of consistent mediocrity, no championships and no wins over UGA. We hired CPJ to get wins over UGA and win championships and be in meaningful bowl games again. He achieved that but had some down years unlike Chan. My assumption was that this coach is supposed to take us to the next level: Consistent winning every year AND a chance at championships and beating UGA now and then. So far, we have consistent results. But nothing else. Be careful what you wish for.
Does Collins go to local alumni events?
I think GOL lied about a Master's Degree IIRC.
He lied about that and about lettering at New Hampshire. He was a scout team guy and he embellished his playing time there
Key would get demolished. Would not even be close. RM was an animal.
Probably not. We don't have any money for a security detail.
In general do coaches appear at local alumni events now? The last time I remember a visit here in Nashville was Hewitt speaking before we played Vandy.
Or cause he sucks.
IIRC, the last douchebag AD stopped coaches from traveling out of state to alumni clubs because of the cost. I saw Hewitt and Gailey, but Johnson was not allowed to visit (and he may not have wanted to visit anyway).
Oh well I remember this is what a starting defensive player told me. This was long before the internet where I could read someone's wikipedia so I just took him for his word. Of course his wikipedia page today mentions nothing about his college football playing days so I still wouldve believed this. I guess I will have to take your word for it. As far as how reliable my anecdote is, I wouldn't call it crazy reliable. I knew a few starters back then (Jerelle Williams, Stephen Scotten, etc.) but I cant say I interviewed the whole team. Just another perspective, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less.
Who cares. The guy could coach

Seems like the travel cost would have been offset multiple times over by increased alumni contributions and overall support. You could also use the visits to touch base with key high school coaches in the area. If it was Bobinski, I am not surprised. We have only had one decent AD in over half a century.
He was a good coach, but he was a lot better when his OCs panned out.
