Interesting view of things . . .

I will take Mac's successful, positive, leadership, discipline, and proven recruiting ability over Buck's amateurish and laid back style but with chaotic consequences (klimpsum).

Mac's positive leadership? Discipline???? Are you kidding me.. if you will remember, that was one of the concerns during prep for the Stanford game, the laid back approach that Mac took (which I for one thought was a good approach)... I dont think that you can say that Gailey isnt doing ANY of those things... 3 games worth of data isnt enough... if that were the case... then GOL would have been fired after year 2.

Look ... we get your point... get over it ... support the coach and team...
 
j-guy,
I realize that is just makes your skin crawl that a TECH fan would have the audacity to have a different opinion than yours.
You are the one that needs to get over it. You cannot stamp out every opinion other than yours...and you look more than a little foolish continuing to try to do it.
Buck is going to be on full display the next 3 to 5 years....no place to hide.

Because of the public nature of this board, I have to address that characteristic in a "public" way.

Words can hurt a lot. I have seen families torn apart because of the negativity of their words to each other. Words can also build up, heal, and motivate with encouragement someone to improve and grow. Lets make our words be of the latter variety. A rule of thumb is that if you cannot say something positive about someone you love (like GT and its S-A's), don't say anything.

Words of criticism should be private between the 2 parties, not open hostility posted in a public forum.

So, come on Ramblin Recks, lets show the world that we are one-in-spirit, and come hades or high water, we will support one another, our school, our athletes...(the scene will always be found with the Yellow Jackets flying round). The nature of the Yellow Jacket insects is that they fight outsiders as a colony. "Outsiders 'beeware' of the Yellow Jackets." When I was a kid, I disturbed a hive once and was stung 52 times. They were all over me before I knew it.
 
mus,
You have to realize that many of the posters on here are hivers or ex-hivers and just cannot stand that a TECH fan can actually be allowed to have a different opinion. On the hive different opinions are expressly forbidden. That is why they try to bash to death anyone that would actually question that Braine-dead may have hired the wrong coach.
Just read some of the give and take with an open mind and see for yourself.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">No you are wrong about that Beeware.. I dont mind the differing opinion at all... you seem to be the one who has trouble with that... you usually follow up such things as name calling etc...

What I do mind is that for whatever reason, you seem to lack the mental capacity to answer the simplist of questions... (they are sprinkled throughout this board... )

I am not sure if its just that you lack the ability to understand a question.. or lack the ability to answer... because if its that you have the abiltiy and choose not to, then I can only assume that your only reason for participating on this board is for disruptive reasons... you take the pick my man... this is yet another multiple choice for you... and I will ask you.. which is it?

I have asked you what good you hoped to gain by continually spewing the same thing over and over... you never answer... why is that... yet, ANOTHER QUESTION...

I dont mind the opinion at all... but you back it up with nothing of substance ! And, when facts are presented you go into your childish behavior again...

And I dont think I am the one looking foolish... sheesh ... just look at this board since you joined in February... even your profile name "Beeware".... you came on here with an agenda...and have brought nothing to this board except your same garbage over and over...

I have learned that whenever you lose an argument, you turn on your diversion tactics...

As I stated earlier...

Mac's positive leadership? Discipline???? Are you kidding me.. if you will remember, that was one of the concerns during prep for the Stanford game, the laid back style

Why dont you give me a direct comment on that? Give me some facts that state otherwise... I am asking for YOUR fact based opinion... not emotional... I dont care about your emotional opinion....

Now, go do your homework
 
j-guy,
I didn't realize it was getting to you so bad.
Just relax...we have a game today.

I guess we disagree about the styles. There is a big difference in being laid-back and being in a coma (maybe a klimpsum coma??).
And besides, whatever tests you had for Mac in the Seattle Bowl, he passed with flying colors.
The Seattle Bowl staff would not have needed this extensive learning curve that Buck and the ragamuffins OBVIOUSLY do.
We have have a difference of opinion....so what?

Beeware is a broken record. He continues to carry a grudge becasue Mac McWhorter did not get job as head coach. Mac is a great assistant coach but to my recollection has never been offered a head coaching job by any Division 1 Athletic Director. Mac could have been a head coach but he did not want to move out of the SE to get experience as a coordinator or head coaching experience at a smaller college. As I said before Beeware is like a broken record. He harps on the great win at in the Seattle Bowl. It was a great win but keep it in perspective. Stanford was a very soft Pac 10 team with a head coach who had one foot out the door. As I said Beeware is a broken record!!

Jerry the Jacket wanted Ted Roof named head coach. Ted's a great guy but barely ready to be coordinator much less a head coach.

Beeware is like a broken record but he is entitled to his opinion and I am entitled to continue to ridicule him for being a broken record!!
 
GTMoose, thanks for the information. I either did not know about Alexander's attendance at Tech, or either I had forgotten it. Of course, I forget a lot these days.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">Bee.. I wouldnt say its getting to me at all..

Braine hired the best of the two (Mac or Gailey)
from his perspective...

I think you would have had an issue with anyone other than Mac... hey, I can understand that... as I have said, I didnt like the way he was treated either... but my opinion is based only upon what I know..

I still dont understand what you hope to accomplish for Georgia Tech by continually spewing the negative posts though. How are you supporting the Institute?

I dont mind the opinion, but I do mind the continued negativity... its not good for Tech!! Please tell me how your posts help us with recruiting... and yes, the recruits do read the boards... how is it beneficial for the current players to read your continued posts about a staff that is gone ... and yes... the current players do read this board.. simple questions...

A opinion is fine... but you seem to be obscessed

You are probably right about the learning curve.. and you are definately right about the job everyone did out in Seattle last year... but you have no proof that the former staff has greater abilty than the current... only time will tell us this...
 
I give up. Lets just let him say whatever he is going to say and quit responding. Those who venture onto the board will see that we are not all bashing our coaches and team.
 
BW, I haven't gotten into this headbutting with you or anyone else cause I enjoy differing opinions. How boring it would be if everyone was a "yes" man.

However, I want to ask you one, just one, question: If this team just keeps getting better and better and plays like we all want them to, honestly, will you be happy or will you still pine for the Seattle Bowl crowd? What I am trying to get at is it just your fondness for the prior staff or is it because you don't think these guys get it? IMO, I do not know yet whether I like this staff, offensively. I like what I have seen defensively. Anyway, I am just curious.
 
Yes, I was hopeful that Ted Roof would get the head coaching job. I know he would not have appeared the most qualified candidate and many were critical of his prowess even as a defensive coordinator, but I saw him play, I talked to him and he loves Georgia Tech and would have, over time, I believe became a great coach. He is an excellent recruiter and knows what it takes to suceed at Tech.

I still hope that someday he will come home and be our coach.

As for my concern for our current situation, it is more of a feeling than anything else. Just the way things seem to be going. I hope for the best but remain concerned with our current staff and their ability to produce the kind of results we have become accustomed to over the past several years.
 
I hope Ted Roof will be back at Tech one day also as the Head Coach. That said I think it would have been devastating to the program if we had of hired him. He is just not ready yet from a coaching standpoint nor does he have the breadth of experience that would give him the contacts to hire a top notch staff
 
Fwiw, RF was never offered a head coaching job until he went after the Maryland position;Mac may/may not have been successful as our HC, we'll never know, but it's history now so let's get behind CG and give him a chance to succeed, even if it takes a season or two!

In that same vein, AJ has just been working with the team a few months and needs to be given some time to settle in, but let's give DBo some time on the job also!

THWG!! FEAR THE JACKETS!!
