I dunno about sad. But it is interesting. From a "logic" standpoint I thought they should have swapped many years ago, but the conferences are all now just a jumbled mess with no actual identity, so who cares any more?
Already said "financial advantages" - which I concede. But you can't count "money" twice. Sorry.
It's nonsense. It's not 1980 any more. Tech has a TON of non-engineering, non-science, easy, majors now.
Had GOL just stayed onboard, we would likely be in the ACC catbird seat right now.
Every time we beat Clemson, UGA, Miami, VT, FSU, etc. we were outsmarting and outplaying them. How else do you explain our “FCS talent” beating so many future NFLers? Yes, we also lost some games that we should have won. That’s why we have this thing called a record that you can look at over 11 years instead of cherry-picking examples to fit your narrative.
“Theories” like this make your agenda obvious. You lose all credibility when you post things like that.
It’s not just losing, it’s the manner in which we lost. Getting humiliated by mediocre competition on multiple occasions. Slip-ups happen, but over the course of multiple seasons, you are what your record says you are. I’m enjoying the improvement this season, but let’s not pretend that giving up 70 points or losing 45-0 to a conference foe that you had a winning streak over is anything other than embarrassing.
This is why I feel like you have to be trolling. EVERY ööööING BODY knows CPJ was not a good recruiter at Tech. His defenses were weak because of it, and even his offenses sometimes struggled when completely overmatched. He inherited a lot of talent from the 2007 class, and didn’t leave nearly as much talent in 2018. Poor recruiting is the reason we were a decent program with a few sparks of greatness, rather than consistently great.
That bolded part was going to end because the NCAA changed rules on low contact and blocking by WRs cracking back into the "tackle box" were changed, so when you combine the bolded part, plus CPJ's continued weak Recruiting that would have lead to no Sims, no Gibbs, no McGowan, no Rutherford, et al.
Everyone understands that, which is why most people that you try to argue with repeatedly agree that it was time for CPJ to move on.
If CPJ is such a coaching genius, explain what happened in his 3rd year when the Trend should be upward?
that CPJ left us in.
This is not even a response to my post, it’s just another fact-ignoring diatribe about how anyone who likes CPJ is an idiot.If CPJ is such a coaching genius, explain what happened in his 3rd year when the Trend should be upward?
Helluva Coach, hardly!
Once other HCs adjusted to cut blocks & low Contact he went thru a run (2010 thru 2013) where he was horrible vs the toughest 4 Teams on our Sked, he was worse than Chan vs those 4 Teams until 2014 , bowls vs Air Force & Olé Miss were a harbinger of things to come.
Your problem is that you have a "CFB inferiority complex", your inferiority complex leads you to love being known as the only P5 Team running the Triple , rather than a P5 Team that takes advantage of the nearby wealth of HS Talent that CAN GRADUATE from GT and play 10 win CFB.
That's the real reason I have such a problem with CPJ Fanboyz, I felt Chan had us on the verge of going on a run of 9 & 10 win seasons had we found a QB, he had made inroads with HS Coaches in GA, he had built a stable Program and then our stupid behind the scenes "FB Guys" made the decision to go with the friggin' Triple Option and ultimately destabilize GT FB for what may be the better part of 2 decades.
11 years of HS Recruits not taking your Team seriously can destabilize you for almost 20 years, unless the right Guy with the right attitude takes the Job, so regardless of "genius play calling", this is the 1 reason we should all get behind CGC, it takes a Guy with his mindset to dig us out of the
GT Fans should be smart enough to have figured out by now , Games aren't won with genius playcalls , Games are won when Players play mistake free FB and execute under the pressure of Game situations.
It has always been about the Players (mainly Linemen), and it will always be about the Players (mainly Linemen), a few blips of a gimmick diving at the opponents kneecaps system doesn't change the General Rule
You said CPJ is a helluva Coach.
