Sporting News......

Foggy: Gailey did a terrible job as offensive coordinator. I support him now in part because he has stepped aside and will allow Nix to do the job and with a offense of his design.

Now one more time......Nix should be able to have a greater impact on Reggie's play, regardless of past results since he alone is directing the offense....and Reggie.

Your problem is you want absolute proof that this is fact....that Nix's offense will be better, that Reggie will have a much better year....Hell, it is not fact. It is conjecture. You will have your facts after the season.

One thing kills me about some Tech fans and there are some great ones out there, some live in the past to the point that they can't see or get excited about the future so all they continue to do is bring up 51-7 or the sorry ass bowl games we go to, or how stupid CG is and so on.

Well RF, its kind of hard to ignore the evidence that we have for the last 4 seasons. Ignoring evidence is just negligent. If you want to erase the last 4 years at this point, that is your perogative. But what about the last few seasons when you have done just that at the beginning of the season only to be vocally upset by the end of the season with regards to our coaches and the effort given?

Don't be upset if some of us aren't blindly happy. I'm blindly loyal, which means my butt will be in the seats and I will be supporting the Jackets come Notre Dame... but I'm not blindly happy about our teams past performances nor will I place blind expectations on this season only to be disappointed AGAIN... no thanks.
 
SLJ, Pls explain how Nix, since he did little to correct the problems of our QB, will he now as OC do the job he did not do for the last 4 years. I will not say one more time like you did I should say many times! You explain nothing just say this and that Now EXPLAIN!

I am not dissing our QB the problems are evident without my dissing him. Either Nix did a wonderful job with a less than D1 QB or he did a terrible job with a D1 capable QB. So that leads me back to the question for you SLJ how will Nix all of a sudden because being named OC make our QB problems better? NOW EXPLAIN, not you just your theory.

But he's here and I hope Nix can make a difference and does stay in his ear. But, and I don't want to down the kid, he hasn't shown much in three years so whats to make me or anyone believe he will all of sudden be Joe Montana?

Personally I don't blame Reggie Ball. For me I am absolutely Astounded and disgusted that we have not shown the ability to place someone in the QB spot to have more success than Reggie Ball. This is the most important position on the field and we have not coached it well nor have we shown the ability to recruit it well.

Here's hoping that Reggie can get it done... but if he cannot... I am fearful that we have no one there who can play better.

This year's team has the most potential on offense of any team in the last 4 years, and its not just because Nix may be the real OC. Since it is June, you should be excited about that potential. However, a bunch of folks either don't see or don't want to see that potential.

[/ QUOTE ]

Probably because "potential" is the most commonly used arguement for supporting a positive view that is not based on any relative evidence nor is it measured with any certain terms.

I kind of like that saying: "wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first". That saying always reminds me of the word "potential". In my business of development, most of our biggest decisions are based on you guessed it... "POTENTIAL"!!!! I measure potential as in "my gut feeling" and other's gut feelings.

Now let me ask you a question.

Does your gut tell you Reggie is going to get better?

Please read the above and tell me how any of us are supposed to NOT think you are a raging lunatic sometimes? Please remember, people here are not listening to what you say. They can only read what you write down.

And in this case... it makes you sound like someone on too much medication.
 
BOR, the problems you rightfully pointed out is that people say things like it's gospel and SLJ has this habit of saying "one more time" and I have asked him many times to explain. He does not explain just keeps on keeping on. Now I want him to explain. If you don't like my posts don't read them! Actually I and many others think you need some help as well. First a CCG supporter, then anti, then supporter now once again anti CCG, so make up your mind and stick with it.
 
Foggy: I edited my last post, if that won't work for an 'explaination'.....and I doubt it will since facts or conjecture rarely get in your way.....then why don't you tell me why it can't work? Why Nix and Reggie can't make it work this year.
 
I have not nor will say Nix with a new O scheme will not work. I just want you to tell me why you think it will work. Nix did not do such a wonderful job (in my opinion) as QB coach. As BOR has pointed out if our QB can not get the job done why now do you think he will, if he can't and history is against him who do we have to replace him. Or are we in a world of hurt due not having recruited a truly good QB. Pls explain your "facts" to me, conjectures ok but "facts"?
 
Why not? The point oldfoggy is that none of us has a clue what Nix having control of the offense might mean. Some are excited, some are skeptical. But there is no proof for either side to use becuase he hasn't been in that situation. We know only three things imo. 1) When he was the coach at whatever small school he was at, they set all kinds of offensive records. 2) He has been QB coach supposedly, so either he hasn't been able to "fix" Reggie or Chan hasn't called a game that suits Reggie's strengthts. 3) Our 2 minute offense has consistently moved the ball better than our standard formations. Bottom line is none of that matters anyway. We either win or lose with what we have this year and Rad makes decisions from there.

Personally, I prefer to be optimistic until proven wrong. It's easier on my nerves and better for my health.
 
NCJ I agree totally with you, all I'm trying to do is get SLJ to give me the facts, not as he sees them but true facts. I like you look forward to a new day on the O, will it succeed I don't know and hope that it will. Will it cure our QB's problems ie ints/TD's, throwing into coverage, throwing off the back foot, happy feet, >.500 comp. I surely don't know. But with the last 3 years of history I do have my doubts.
 
Why not the 3rd best offense? We have the best WR in Calvin. We have a good blocking FB, and several fine options at TB. A talented but young OL should be bigger, wiser, stronger. TE has talent and depth. And, then there is Reggie. He has never been at the bottom in the ACC. I know his stats are sometimes near the bottom - but he does make plays, and he does win games. He also has blown some plays and lost some games. He is now a senior, seems to have teammates respect. The league lacks experienced signal callers. I think he will be fine. All in all, we should, we must, score more points this year. I am optimistic.
 
Foggy: I have explained my reasoning on why Reggie will benefit from Nix being the sole offensive coordinator enough times that most readers here probably can spout it in their sleep.

But you have to hear it again?

First of all, it is not facts! That is my first problem with you harrassing me on this thread. It is conjector, it is reasoning, it is theory. Nowhere is it a fact....

To start there is two assumptions here: That Reggie is good enough athlete to play quarterback and that Nix is good enough of a coach to design and coach an offense. If so then we have this to think about: Reggie will have one offensive coordinator this year. The offensive coordinator will have his offense on the field and he will be calling the plays. The offense in part will be designed with Reggie's capabilities in mind.

Simple enough isn't?

Reggie won't have Nix telling him on the sideline to look for this and to look for that....then go out on the field and Gailey's playcalling has absolutely nothing to do with what Nix has been telling him.

Is all this too much for you to comprehend?

Very simple but any offense has to have a solid foundation to work and hopefully Gailey stepping aside and allowing Nix to build this offense in his image, under his direction on gameday, and with Reggie at the helm.....will be beneficial for the entire team.
 
1st off SLJ I'm not harassing you. You said "facts", I just wanted the facts. OK I accept assumptions, you, me, everyone is allowed to make assumptions. I'm glad you finally said they were not facts. Do I believe Nix will make improvements, yes I do, he could not be any worse than the last 4 years. Do I believe CCG will allow Nix to do his job without interference, I have my doubts. Will the Radman allow CCG to interfere with Nix, I don't know, I only hope he does not. Now if only our QB can make improvements as well, IE, TD/INT ratio, >.500 comp rate, then Tech may be able to make some noise and the opponent will have to bring their A game to BDS or wherever.

Of course he will. The head coach can fiddle with any coach/player he wants. I think it will be a bad sign if he does, but that will be up to him.
Now, if Radokovich had to tell CG what parts of the game he was allowed to be involved with, what's the point of having a head coach?
Never met him, but I believe Dan has the Rads to have just fired CG before he told him where he could and couldn't go.

Hate to tell you (SLJ) but you used facts several times! One was edited out but here is one that took me about 15 seconds to find and quote!

'Detox from BuzzOFF' /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugher.gif Good one. I'm still getting use to the fresh air.

Now, if I look at the facts as I know them then I have to believe Gailey reviewed his work and the program and decided changes had to be made. Stubbornness giving way to reason is how I see it.

But no, I don't think it is a coincidence that the changes have been made after Braine resigned.

It was extremely helpful that Braine resigned and that Radakovich hired. The changes may not have been approved without the change in athlectic director. But remember that many of the changes announced happened before Radakovich was actually hired and onboard.

Radakovich, to my knowledge had nothing to do with the dismissal of certain coaches, the elevations of Giff Smith and Jon Tenuta, the hirings of Charles Kelly and Geoff Collins to round out the recruiting aces we hired last year in Brian Jean-Mary and Smith.

I think that Radakovich has no intention of telling Gailey how to run his business. But will hold him to a higher standard than Braine did. But while holding him to a higher standard, Radakovich fully intends to give Gailey the support that he needs in getting a fairer shake from 'the Hill' as far as admissions is concerned, and will get the various athlectic offices, its personnel, and their duties straighten out and running smoothly. This is where Radakovich's impact will start showing itself. His public relations work and personable approach to his job is already paying dividends. Everything is looking up. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

This is the post where you mentioned the word facts so all in all you used the word facts about 4 or 5 time!

But it's ok as we can not always remember what or where we made prior posts. You see I do read your post and read them thoroughly.
 
I totally agree PW that's why I remain somewhat skeptical about CCG letting Nix run the show by himself. I hope CCG sees the errors of his ways but I do believe he will interfere with NIX! I also agree if Rad has to tell CCG to lay off then you are correct why have a head coach.
