Is this a joke?

This exactly. The GT fanbase‘s response to the previous guy was milquetoast compared to most big schools and a bunch of little schools. Georgia Southern showed more response to Van Gorder than we did. Look back now that we have a little distance - dude dogged the previous coach from day 1 and followed that up by winning 3 games for 3 years in a row and was shown the door after 1 win in year 4. And our response was some stern words on a message board. We are a bland fanbase which is why we got financially fleeced by the previous guy and gave our hoops coach 7-8 years to destroy the program. At least it appears that Cabrera and Batt have some testosterone left in them.

What has Batt done to give you that idea???

A more passionate fan base would have been burning couches in the streets of homepark or hiring planes to circle the stadium with “Fire Geoff” banners.

We were relatively placid about total disaster.

That's because we pawned all the couches and burnable items to help pay for the buyout.

One of his jobs - his MAIN job, IMO - is to raise enough money so that isn't a problem.

Agreed. But within his first month or two he did more by not letting Chadwell or Fritz fleece us any more. Stopping excessive outflows is just as important as bringing in inflows. I feel really good about the upcoming change in hoops. We’ll get a competent guy who won’t be given over market price.

Our previous AD’s have just been poor financial guys. We went from finally getting out from under the Hewitt contract to now having to pay for the worst coach in our history for several more years. We gotta stop this. If we were winning then we would look at least ok. But we haven’t been winning anything and now just look inept. Batt can fix that but he’ll probably be gone before he really can turn it around.
