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

[QuadF]

The credibility of this coach was not the failure of effectively transitioning from a TO to whatever mythical offense his mind created. It was that the self-proclaimed Supreme Minister of Defense totally failed at elevating the one side of the ball he supposedly had expertise in.

To still think the issue was the triple option you'd have to believe that we ran a triple option defense and triple option special teams

Which was odd we struggled in those areas since we mastered triple option sideline weight lifting.

This has got to be a spoof. I mean, who pimps himself as an award nominee 3x but who never won it?

A true clown would brag about it in their Twitter bio

Just got my thinking, Temple was 8-4 and 7-6 with Collins. Just imagine the talent on the field he must have had to run that many games.

Still managed to lose to FCS Villanova in year 2 and had a close call against them year 1. He is just uniquely bad at preparing a team for a football game.

I don’t think he knows how

So where did this come from?

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.

The world must end.

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.

I thought sometlhing was off when all we seem to see was 404 and huddle house etc..........He was pretty bad as a HC

Qu’est que c’est Huddle House?

I knew he was a bad coach when we lost to The Citadel. The Citadel has had some good, tough teams.
This wasn’t one of them

And the Pitt team CBK beat for win one in his tenure would have beaten us by at least 20 if was still on board

Actually, I like Waffle House and I appreciate their efforts trying to help GT.

Suprised he didn't add 4x candidate for winning football team coach. It was consecutive years, too.

Funny how so many of you think the “antics” were a sign of things to come. I promise you some coach out there is doing equally stupid öööö but no one cares bc he’s winning.

I challenge you to find him.

I challenge you to find him.

Not sure about the exact gimmicks, but Matt Rhule, PJ Fleck, and even Dan Mullen are from that general school of coaching. Problem is that Collins actually believed his own hype and didn't surround himself with competent people and allow them to do their thing. He also tried to reinvent the wheel when it came to tried and true methods of running football practices. You can do hype if you've got everything else in order. Collins didn't.

None of your examples did the crazy and attempted revolutionary things our coach did to try to build a “culture.”
