In no way shape or form do I want Tech to fail. When I saw what Collins was doing his first few weeks here building a brand, I was excited. He seemed to have built himself a decent career at Temple. However, I just don’t see what Collins is trying to do here anymore. We’re worrying too much about lights that don’t work, money down, uniforms, etc. He is a hell of a recruiter, but I wouldn’t say a great football coach. I can’t tell what he’s trying to do on offense at all.
We are one of the worst in the NCAA in penalties, which reflects coaching, we run shotgun from our own two and the opponents two for who knows what reason. I don’t want to blame officials, but last night was horrendous; however, we can’t solely blame others for our own demise. We blame Narduzzi for last night, I don’t know why, but we do. We should never give up 350 rushing yards, unless we play a 3O team.
Now let me list the good. He is a great recruiter and stealing some great prospects from other teams. He has gotten some much needed transfers. He has built a culture that has made Tech games more fun and enjoyable than the monotonous games under Johnson, where the energy is the same for Clemson as it is for Alcorn State.
In conclusion, I believe that Collins needs help on the coaching a lot. Whether that’s new coordinators or taking some time away from Waffle House and studying loads of film. I’m not at practice so I can’t speak on his behalf about that, but it seems the same as Pastners no contact practices translated into game situations.
