Presser BIG CRY

We had 1 QB hurry. That’s hot garbage. Sacking is one thing. Not being able to be in the same zip code the entire game is crap - against a team that recruits in the 90s and 100s.

If we couldn’t do better than that against NIU, then there’s no hope at all for the improvement we were promised when the competition ramps up.

If iron sharpens iron (another tried and true CGC cliché), what does hot garbage do when it meets hot garbage?
 
Take notes Collins. This is how it’s done. It’s called accountability, and not a single person in the building is above it.
 
I felt a chill there in the last 30-45 seconds.. I do support our coach and team despite the fact we aren't yet getting results. I like not seeing miniature football players out there anymore but sadly it seems that bigger/faster/stronger doesn't mean more wins.

Can you imagine if Collins came in and the GT athletic department said "money is no object" and built the largest, nicest weight room for the football players, and the nicest facilities, and money no object on any and everything football? Someone build something nicer? We will build a second one nicer than that one and have two of them.....that is Alabama football. They started throwing tens of millions of dollars improving everything Alabama football.

It's great to use Saban as a poster child, but he has been given the best of everything to build that program. GT played a game last Saturday night in a metro area of 3 million and had about 70% of our upper east empty.
 
There have been many (unintelligent) comparisons in this thread and others to Saban, typically brining up his loss to ULM in his year one. Let's look at Sabans response/press conference for that loss:


"This is a great institution. We have great tradition. We have a lot of pride in what we do. I'm certainly not please with the way we are representing that tradition today. We did all the things in this football game that get you beat no matter who you play and that doesn't matter. It's a out what we do..."

He takes responsibility, notes the efforts he made, and how they weren't good enough.

"I'm very disappointed. I apologize to the people who support this program, that we didn't represent it with the class that it deserves to be represented with and we will get it fixed..."

Compare this to Geoff Collin's reaction/response to the question about negativity from the fanbase. The difference is absolutely astounding to me. Saban was in year one; he never once mentions inheriting a team from the previous coach, or any excuses. Saban stands tall and is direct to fans, media, and players. He stands as a leader. Collins is in year 3, with obvious talent advantages over NIU, lowers his head, can't respond to the fanbase, still blames others. Moreso when he was hired but a lot of people pointed to Collin's experience working for Saban as a huge positive. Collins certainly picked up on many things (recruiting, roster management, etc), but he clearly didn't get the leadership lesson, or the man-card lesson either. I pray Collins develops these better qualities (maybe some coaching abilities too) for the good of the program, cause this isn't headed in a good direction

I don't give a single öööö what Nick The Dick Saban has to say
 
RE collins and his sims comments - i didn't know sims was auditioning for the cheerleading team? - he would be good at it but his play before getting hurt was pretty dismal. I hope he comes back but like CPJ used to do IIWII - facts are facts and I miss that. Again hope Sims comes back and does better but lets be honest - honesty will help him not hyperbole.
