Can’t argue with that!FIFY

Do we have to give up 70 points to Duke before we fire Thacker?He did that in his first 3 games? That's weird. I seem to recall Dabo being hired in the middle of the 2008 season and Venables not being hired until 2012.....after they gave up 70 points to West Virginia in the bowl game and fired Kevin Steele.
There were people calling for Dabo to be fired throughout those first 3 1/2 years and calling him an idiot...saying he was a snake oil salesman and didn't know what he's doing. Those people are all conspicuously silent these days.Do we have to give up 70 points to Duke before we fire Thacker?
CPJ never lost to multiple FCS teams as a FBS head coach.PJ won with Gaileys players. Get over it.
I’ll never get over the fact that you’ll never get over the fact.CPJ never lost to multiple FCS teams as a FBS head coach.
I’ll never get over the fact our used car salesman of a HC has that horrendous black eye.
Yeah but Johnson damn sure did break our continuous bowl games streak that even someone so sucky as Chan Gailey maintained...with one less regular season game per year to hit the needed 6 wins.CPJ never lost to multiple FCS teams as a FBS head coach.

And with his own as well--"get over it." Sorry, you can't erase the good he did no matter how butthurt you continue to be.PJ won with Gaileys players. Get over it.
Good. Keep it up. Encourage your fellow fans to do the same. That's the best thing to do to help.Don’t worry, I made my first donation Dec 1st last year.
Where can I get what you're smoking?Temple was trash before Collins so he can rebuild pretty quickly.
That is what concerned me with the hire. I am still nervous about it, but he is our HC. I’m behind him for 3 years and will re-evaluate then.Where can I get what you're smoking?
2015 Matt Rhule 10–4 7–1 1st (East) L Boca Raton Bowl
2016 Matt Rhule 10–4 7–1 T–1st (East) L Military Bowl
2017 Geoff Collins 7-6 4–4 3rd (East) W Gasparilla Bowl
2018 Geoff Collins 8-5 7–1 2nd (East) L Independence Bowl
Collins took a 10-win team and turned it into a 7 win team.
He has a 7-year contract, IIRC. My nervousness is over. We can only go up from here, but I’ll be in the stands cheering for the Jackets regardless.That is what concerned me with the hire. I am still nervous about it, but he is our HC. I’m behind him for 3 years and will re-evaluate then.
Thankfully, Citadel isn't on the schedule for the next three years, are they? Maybe we can squeak by....That is what concerned me with the hire. I am still nervous about it, but he is our HC. I’m behind him for 3 years and will re-evaluate then.
Great post. Just because a lot of us didnt like the triple option doesnt mean it didnt work for us. He did beat UGA three times (3x!) and go to the ACCG three times. That's a helluva good record any way you look at it. However, it also doesnt erase the fact that the criticisms of committing to the triple option were coming true, too, and change was necessary. I both loved and hated the triple option but once we started competing with the Coastal Carolinas and other lower GoF for recruits, thats when I really got restless with PJ.And with his own as well--"get over it."

Let's hope that CGC can get things going on the field and lead GT to future success.
I loved watching the triple option flexbone offense because it reminded me of how football used to be. Unfortunately, it’s not had a charismatic salesman to excite recruits. Can you imagine CPJ’s offense with a backfield like what Auburn, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or SMU (pre-death penalty) had in the 1980s?Great post.

Dabo has a ton of money to hire and retain those coordinators though."Sure, Geoff is a marketer and branding guy, but isn't that the game today? Isn't that Dabo? In any organization you have to set the vision for where you are headed. The vision is that GT is going to become an elite program, and I have no doubt that Geoff is sincere in driving for that."
Dabo is a marketer and branding guy; but beyond that he has surrounded himself with great coordinators. I don't think most here are convinced Geoff has done that.
There is a thin, thin line between Dabo and Butch Jones. Both are enormous goobers, IMO. The big difference is W/L ratio. I hope Collins can end up on the right side of that in the next couple years.Sure, Geoff is a marketer and branding guy, but isn't that the game today? Isn't that Dabo?
Losing to the Citadel in week 2 and winning the Coastal would be the most Frank Beamer season ever.Tech still controls their own destiny in the ACC. Just sayin...
I agree. Was he trending down the last 2 seasons? Yep. And clearly, he wasn't able to replace the magic of a Justin Thomas. And the recruiting criticisms were fair. However, crapping on his tenure here as if he never had any good seasons w/Chan's or his own players is stupid.Great post.
