Two or three wins. Collins is let go by TStan’s replacement as soon as the buyout goes down in December.

Wait… are Jimmies good or are Joes good? I can never keep this straight.

I’ll put a C-note that we win more than 2 games. That prediction is nonsense.

And all I heard was “I like the new coaches”. Not one bit of discussion of what they like.

Well they are all new coaches, so no one has seen anything in them that would hint at better, same, or worse results. It’s a crap-shoot based primarily on whether or not you think the old coaches held us back or the players are so bad that no coach can do better.

They all have P5 experience. They have all been part of successful programs.
-Long is known for being hard-nosed and demanding a lot of his offense as well as his creative use of TEs.
-Weinke is a national champion, Heisman winning QB that is coaching our QBs now. That has to be an improvement.
-Daniels coached Buffalo's RBs to a top 30 rushing offense last season.
-Alexander is a 20+ year coaching vet with multiple P5 jobs as well as a stint in the NFL.
-Turner has 30+ years P5 experience, most of that coaching DL in the SEC.
-Tillman has been a part of very recent success at Michigan State. He may not be the best new hire but anything has to be improvement over our DB coaching the last 3 years.
-Semore coaching LBs for one has to be better than Thacker. He has been a successful DC at several smaller schools and played LB in college.
Anyway my point being, you asked about both coaches and players, and when asked do you not think the coaching hires are improvements, you said "it's not about X's and O's, it's the Jimmies and Joes." So even if all the above is correct and our coaching staff is much better than last year, you don't think we'll see any improvement?

Sadly, I can't disagree with this... Part of me went to these numbers as well. I tried to use the best numbers that I could plug in. However; these numbers, with a 3 win total, are close to another set that I forecasted.

My pre-season chances of...
3 wins: 25%
5 wins: 50%
7 wins: 25%
I'd say there's a 50% chance we're shopping for a new coach before November and 75% by December.

5 wins will buy him another year and maybe an extension for "crootin'" reasons. C'mon guys, this is GT we are talking about.

Why? We're returning very little production. It's not like the backups flashed a whole ton more potential than the starters who've left.

My over/under of wins is 4... While I am hoping to see 5 wins and we can win 5 games. There are a solid 5-6 games that are winnable. It's a matter of winning the winnable 50/50 type games. We just have not done that, the last 3 years. I do think Collins needs to win 5, to have a 50% chance of keeping his job. Anything less than 5 is a swift kick out the door, anything more, will be an extra year of Collins.

I predicted 4 wins last year and would have hit it save that first game. With our coaching upgrades, the losses/changes in coaching on our opponents' staffs (HC/OC/DC) and their losses at key talent positions (Ole Miss, UNC & Pitt QBs, UNC RB/OL, MIA WR/DB/DL, VT OL/TE, FSU DL to name a few) I'm looking at an 8 win season this year.

Ok, take the bet then. Money must be deposited in escrow (neutral StinGTalker) before season starts. And I don’t even gamble but making an exception for easy money.

So you think we're going to get worse all the way across the board next year? You realize that even with the last 2 games being 100-0 our year end average PF/PA was 24/33.5.

We ain’t winning five games averaging 310 yards per game on offense
