Official Geoff Collins Fired Watch Party Thread

[Akinji07]

I will pay someone to dress like a medieval monk or nun and walk down YJA in front of the coaches ringing a bell and yelling SHAME, SHAME if Collins is still here for the next home game.

How much are you paying because I already have a nun outfit.

As losses take toll, pressure rises on Georgia Tech’s Geoff Collins, Todd Stansbury

The last time Georgia Tech stood atop the college football world, Jerimiah McClary helped lead the Yellow Jackets there. A defensive tackle and a team captain of the 1990 national championship team, McClary experienced firsthand the transformation of a team from the bottom (2-9 in 1987...

I'm starting to think we're going to see Collins for at least one more game.

Could be a strategic move. He’s lost the locker room, the fans, everyone. Maybe Angel is waiting on him to realize he is a) ruining his chances of ever working in football again, and b) he better resign before the next home game or he is likely to be assaulted at YJA. Boom, there’s all the buyout money. Throw it at Deion.

I do not believe Collins will walk away from any money he can squeeze out of us. The best we can hope is he will leave know for slightly more than the January buy out.

I understand the hurdle we face with Collins' buyout. I do not understand why we have not terminated Stansbury.

We should handout clown noses if he makes it to the next home game. He might quit if he sees a bunch of clown noses in the stadium. I'm sure we could get chants going by those in attendance. Hell we could actually probably get more people to the game if it was a coordinated effort to make fun of him and get him to resign.

I’d be tempted to go for this.

Need to get the band on board. Maybe the ringing brothers tune...

Word on the street is Todd and Collins are both gone but we are going to need to secure a loan for the initial chunk. Todd has essentially gone into hiding. He obviously won’t fire Collins since he is tied to him. So either this Sunday or the next. But yes he’s coached his last game at Bobby Dodd. This scenario still pisses me off.

Todd and Geoff together:

i do not believe collins will walk away because i think he is so delusional he really believes he is about to turn the corner every week

Nah, he's a salesman. Don't take NO for an answer. He'll have to be shown the door before he quits pitching his product.

Remember the PSA by Chan on the video board? Boos during the entire thing. And was a contributing factor in his firing.

He is but before this job, he hasn't known any real failure. Then was able to craft a myriad of excuses for why he was losing, and still creating excuses, none of which are his fault, of course.

He probably thinks we are delusional for wanting him gone and that he's going to start the winning this week, and when he loses he'll have some excuses, and then believe the winning will start the following week and so on and so on.

That effort required people to be there to boo. It’s so bad now that I’m not sure this could be pulled off.

The entire student section needs to paint their faces as clowns. Every fan in attendance should. Both of them.

What level of debasement would you endure for a million dollars ? How much more $10 million ??

 

[greenmachine]

could we not just go ahead and go public with "collins is out after this year, but we're letting him finish out season so buyout is cheaper" that way we can start new coach search now, keep recruiting intact as much as possible, and get reduced buyout? the embarrassment of that situation might force collins to settle for an even greater reduction to buyout. or he'll get so pissed he'll let his duties slip and we can fire for cause?
