After Pepper Rodgers stopped running the option, GT absolutely sucked for a few years too. I think we lost 69-14 to Notre Dame (who had some guy named Joe Montana playing QB).
The only thing that bothers me on here is people acting like 3 wins is “the new norm”. No. It’s always going to be like that when you stop running the triple option. I don’t care what decade you’re playing in.
Geoff Collins is a proven recruiter. He’s getting the job done there. Only things I don’t like are the Money Down, push ups on the sideline, and that exchange he had with Narduzzi after the Pitt game last year.
We still have some 3O guys playing on OL who are not good. The transfers help a little but they’re only in the system for one season. Transitioning out of a 11 year triple option program is a monumental task at the P5 level.
Many on here mock CGC for repeatedly saying “biggest transition in history”. However, he’s not wrong. I suppose “it is what it is”.
It's fair to say i'm being too harsh by saying it's the new norm. I accept that. I accepted that there would be a transition period and it would be a rough one, but i'm most concerned by what seems to be improvement that's very slow. By year 3, the 'transition' should be mostly done, but it sounds like some are defending another year or 2 of transition.
Collins is a proven recruiter, but he's not a proven coach. I don't care how he recruits or schemes if he can't win. What i see on the field concerns me greatly.
