Everything he said I’m sure was factual, but he is retired and Collins has been fired so what is the point of bringing up the past? It makes him sound petty to have Collins living in his mind.

I was probably supportive of Collins longer than anyone, but he earned every bit of shame thrown his way and CPJ earned the right to let him have it.
 
@10 min mark

"So, Paul. Tell us how your really feel about Gef Collins and his shenanigans?".

Hall of Fame coaches at most schools retire and get a cushy office and some stupid AA title to keep them around the program.

At Tech, we change the locks on them.

Cancelled his “key” fob after 2 weeks! Guess he should have worked out a deal like Saban did insisting he keep an office….. never assume anything is understood

Believe me, the thing that would bother him the most would be if everybody associated with Tech just ignored him and treated him with the same level of interest we would show for the Defensive Coordinator of The Citadel. I think he would love for the game to be about him.

I have enjoyed Tech upsetting UNC the last few years, but NC has better athletes than they've shown against us lately. They are due to play a good game against us. Also, Collins does have a good history as a Defensive Coordinator and recruiter. I expect him to do a good job for NC in those areas.

I hope we win, but I think we should act like we've completely forgotten about him. Any attention we give him will make his day. He is so far back in the rearview mirror that we shouldn't be able to see him anymore. If anything, we should give him an award at midfield before the game for bringing Brent Key back to Tech.
 
I’ll steer clear of the Clown wreckage for now
I will state that when the first rumors of Erk retiring started surfacing in 1988 that someone called PJ and asked if he would be interested in coming back from Hawaii as HC
His response?
Hell yeah

Rubbish, the dude is a ööööing loser, horrible coach, petty, vindictive, unprofessional, and is downright imbecilec at every level. We saw a pathetic display of leadership, the complete antithesis of what Tech is all about. All of this "soft language", is annoying. It actually gives him some sort of accolades that he absolutely never earned here and does not deserve in any way shape or form. I don't give two öööös about what he did elsewhere. He was terrible at Tech and then has taken every opportunity to öööö all over Tech and it's players. Sometimes people are just scum and deserve all the scorn, and he's one of them. And if he has some sort of ejaculatory response to this sort of attention honestly I don't care, because we all know that's bullshit too. This whole line of reasoning is backwards because it's predicated on what he thinks, i.e. you take your actions based on what he may or may not feel, then you're letting him drive the way you think and act.

Everything about him is fake, he's completely insecure, you can see that in how he reacts to simple questions at press conferences or anything really. Seriously how is this not completely obvious.

It doesn't mean you have to be mad about it or be holding some anger etc, but these things are all true and will always be true. I don't understand the impetus behind aww shucks let's just be friendly about the guy. If individually that's how someone wants to be, of course there's no problem with that but enough with the we should do this and we should do that nonsense. It just sounds like a bunch of god forsaken virtue signaling.
 
At the beginning of the interview he mentions how the school has had to change due to the portal and that he had to go all the way to the President to get a Stanford grad student transfer approved (Patrick Skov I assume). We really were our own worst enemy at times.

No way. The next time he’s at Tech should he a replay of the ND fish game, but with everything thrown at Collins whether he’s on the sideline or in the booth. I’ll be disappointed if multiple Tech fans aren’t escorted out of the game for assaulting Gef.

We live in a world where fans trashed Paul Johnson and slurped up everything that Geoff Collins could dish. What a time to be alive.

Not I. CPJ was an obvious hall of famer who won us an Orange Bowl and some of us were smart enough to appreciate what we had. Tried to be excited about Collins, but I never understood why any of our fans trashed the 3O/CPJ in lockstep with clownface (you know who you are).

Respectfully totally disagree. Snowflakes like him need to melt.
