Suddes gone....

I was of the opinion that Suddes and Collins were tight. How is it that we just let him walk out the door?

I remember a thread from years ago where several posters were salivating over the idea of Todd Stansbury as our AD. We are now officially ööööed. I was more confident in 1981 then I am now.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they’ve been dear friends for 20+ years.

I didn’t say they were to blame. I said that when your program is a total dumpster fire it doesn’t make sense to hand out raises and promotions.

The current staff is the largest in GT history, and the highest paid. And their performance has been the worst of my lifetime.

Why were we paying a admin $200K anyway? Maybe we should have used that money to hire a competent OC or DC. Instead we’ve blown money on receptionists, admins, brand managers, hype guys, social media editors,etc. We’ve invested very little in on field performance, and it shows.

We were establishing the culture. But now that it’s established, we’re taking a deep dive into every aspect of the program…. Except, I presume, the culture. The wise move is often staying the course. For proof, look no further than our basketball team. :ughrun::ohyeah::ugh5::ughrun:

The guy honestly has to be trying to screw things up this much. I don't understand how bad decision makers get this far in their careers.

By not paying up, it looks like he's signaling that CGC is gone after this year and the new HC will bring a totally new recruiting philosophy and staff.
 
Meh. Suigura's tweet was misleading.

Can't say I blame the guy if he's getting a promotion to Assistant AD and although he's been very good at his job at Tech, I'm not sure it would be easy to justify promoting him to an Assistant AD job here.

That being said, Collins better hit a home run with a replacement hire because Suddes was really good at the recruiting stuff and that's about the only thing CGC can hang his hat on at this point.

Man oh man, so after Mr Waffle is handed his suitcase full of $$$ and shown the door at the end of next season, how many years is it going to take Tech to get back to respectability? We play in the freakin’ ACC Coastal ffs.

A good coach with good coordinators and position coaches should be able to come and win on day one with this roster. Problem is we will bargain shop at the Dollar Tree / Family Dollar combo store for the next coach and all of his assistants only to land right back where we are now.

With the way things are run I'm fully expecting Godsey to be the next HC with Key as OC.

The $60M question is:

a. Do we have what we need to win, just the wrong guys leading them?

OR

b. Is the recruiting all smoke and mirrors also?

OR

c. Some combo of both.

I think it’s “c”. Long is an upgrade, but he’s only got a good RB corps. QB is a crap shoot. Sims may be at his ceiling OR he could be just poorly coached. In comes Weinke, we’ll know by game 4. OL with Key is likely not good at all. Could be the players but my money is on Key. He needs to be run off.

Defense is a complete CF. Imbecile and Thacker ain’t it. Players are in the wrong positions being asked to do the wrong things and we can’t get plays in. Utter chaos. Tillman has to be an upgrade, but he’s only 1 man. Then there’s weaknesses in how many and the caliber of parts in the roles we want them in.shot öööö show IMO.

Bottom line- a small handful of good coaches, leading a bunch of players with ??’s, some good talent but will we use it, led by an imbecile under the watchful eye of an AD that’s 3 galaxies away staring mindlessly at a universe that’s mysterious and confusing to him. He’s like a caveman watching a space shuttle launch.

We’re NOW a monumental rebuild. 5 years away. This year to gut the staff (AD, HC, DC, etc), next year to “find and assess”, 2 years of recruiting and portal leveraging. I’d have never said 5 years before but we’re seeing our program implode with the people and it’s not a rebuild now, it’s demolish and start over.
 
Essentially, at the end of the year, we will have wasted 4 years on what was to be a rebuild. Four years with no progress. Attended my first Tech game in 1966 and the stark reality is I may never see a return to respectability.

Key is already looking elsewhere. I wouldn’t expect him to be any part of future plans

Key could have left for any number of SEC jobs already if he wanted out. Could still find a comparable or better job with one call. He may want to be the last man standing at this point and make a run at HC. Would depend on who the AD is when a change is made.

I don't know how many of you remember or even know that when Dodd retired, he personally offered the job to Frank Broyles at Arkansas (former player under Dodd) and Ray Graves at Florida (former assistant under Dodd). Both turned him down. At the time I was really disappointed that Broyles rejected the offer, but in hindsight, I can see that they were both wise to do so. They had better sense than to come back to where they started. It's a shame that the AA of today hasn't learned from them that it seldom if ever works out for a former player or coach to return. Pepper didn't work out and Curry was mostly a flop. Non-Tech men have had varied degrees of success and failure, but at least each of them brought fresh ideas and approaches with them. Collins and TStan are complete losers IMO. PLEASE, AA and rich alums, DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE AGAIN !!!

L wonder if Broyles or Graves would have accepted the job if we had still been in the SEC?
