It’s Comical How Bad of a Head Coach Geoff Collins Is/Was

I admit he had me hoodwinked. Should have never bought in on his used car sales pitch. Felt the same about Bobiniski as AD.

if Collins had come in after a pro style coach I would not have given as much leeway. But he got benefit of doubt for the first two years. The money down antics and practice music….. should have known it wouldn’t work.

I am bought in on Key and staff. Also very much Batt. Just hope the hole we have dug is not too much to over come for FB and BB.
 
On the gtcrew scale he was less than 6' less than 6" but more than 6 figures... 1/3 ain't bad
 
I bought into his salesmanship right away. He's a very good salesman. All products need good sales people and Tech is no exception. The problems in retrospect were:
1) he wanted to change the brand from "Tech" to some kind of other "ATL" styled brand and
2) the product he himself delivered on the field was abysmal.

As a salesman, he is top notch. As a brand and product developer and a head football coach, well, the record breaking results speak for themselves. The "New Coke" fiasco might be a good analogy.

The best way to enjoy college sports lately is to see it as a dark comedy. Or watch women's basketball.
 
He fooled a lot of GT folks with all his meaningless talk and lack of knowledge on how
to run practices and his ineptitude in game day management.

I guess the biggest fool was GT's former AD, TS!!!
 
We all have professional strengths and weaknesses, despite our overall good intentions. I don't think CGC was a con man. He was just in over his head as a head coach and had a lot of misguided ideas about how to manage athletes and coaches. So, I don't hate the guy, and I don't think he did long term harm to the program. Just glad we can move on and have optimism without a complete rebuild.
 
Just hit me again. So funny.

Here’s to a brighter future.

If Collins and Bill Lewis are sitting in front of you, which would you hire for head coach. Knowing everything you know now and you must pick one to avert the end of the world.
