make a bit of progress somebody makes a STUPID penalty! Why don't we have a punt returner at this f----ing level? I am so sick of CG and his product!
 
I Really Don\'t Blame Coaching, Our QB Position...

was given the opportunity to make plays but could not come through. In fact, all 3 turnovers while we had great field position with a chance to score point came from the QB position. Now if you want to blame the coaches for not recruiting a better QB I can go along with that. I still would have wanted Reggie as a Yellow Jacket, I think he would have been a good wing or flanker in the Charlie Rogers mold. Oh, and our punt coverage, well, that is too awful to even talk about.

You're right, herBee...5 more years of Gailey is a concern. Let's hope Tenuta goes no where as HE is the reason we're at least a mediocre team
 
Re: I Really Don\'t Blame Coaching, Our QB Position...

Yes I think Reggie would have been a better Slash type player. We need to move on to the next quarterback. Reggie will start against ND but I expect to see Garner or Bennett step in. OUr drives are being killed by the same player most often.
 
I could not agree more. If you're happy with mediocrity, you've got it! We've been saying this for the last couple of years. No need to bring the discussion back about the 5 year contract, but something must change if we want to recruit top/national players. Yes, we'll contend in some big games, but its apparent that we lack the coaching ability to get our players up weekend after weekend. Thats why we lost to UGA after such a big game with Miami(but we all know Miami wasnt that strong all year, anyway)
 
No team gets their players up week after week.

Don't get your Miami comment. So they're not strong, which must mean Va Tech isn't either. Or Va Tech's coaches aren't any good since they can't get their team up for a game with Miami.

We lost to ugag because of our mistakes. You can blame that on coaching if you like, but the fact is our players are good enough to beat anyone on our schedule WHEN WE PLAY WELL. Playing well is a combination of coaching, experience, focus, luck, and confidence among other things. Right now we lack a little in the confidence and experience departments at some positions and maybe focus at others. Those are things that coaches work to overcome and correct. We actually have a pretty good team this year as evidenced by the fact that it was our mistakes that lost the ugag game rather than their play that beat us. While I'm pissed we let it get away, I at least understand it's about us. Rather than bitching and moaning about how we're going to hell in a handbasket.

BTW, what do you mean by recruiting top/national players? If you're looking for top 10 recruiting classes we're never going to do it. Top 25 maybe in some years, but I doubt that either on any kind of consistent basis. But if watching college football as long as I have has convinced me of anything it's that you don't need to do that to be successful. You need to recruit well, but that's not the same as making the recruiting gurus excited.
 
I disagree with you on UGA coaching being better than GT. Matter of fact, I think it to be the opposite. I wonder how UGA's coach could do with GT's restrictions. CG has coached up his players better than UGA's has. The only way one could ever know for sure would be to put all D-1 schools on the same individual school requirements level, distribute players to each school, giving each school the same calibur players at each position, etc............. Then we could see which coach would do the best. I certainly hope this never happens. Nascar has done pretty much that already to their sport though with their parity. That's another program though. For the time being, I think GT is pretty danged fortunate to have what we have now. Can we do better? maybe so. Will we do better, I firmly believe we will if we will be patient and let the coaches have a little rein to work with.

you must be kidding...UGA has 3 times the talent and we moved the ball better...but did ultimately lose. We beat teams with more talent than us in Auburn and Miami. We had no losses this year to teams with less talent...and lost one to a team with equal talent (NCState).

btw...remember that Greg Blue wanted to be a Jacket...but he could not get in.
 
don\'t hit them with facts....

these people would have you believing that O'leary beat 2 top 10 teams on the road.

It destroys them that 5-3 in this ACC is like 7-1 under O'leary.

Can somebody tell me if GT has EVER beaten two top 10 on the road in the same year?

Both those teams would be top 5 BUT FOR THE LOSS TO US.

There are few teams to ever beat two Top 10 teams in one year...period...particularly during the regular season...particularly since it is more difficult to stay in the Top 10 after a loss.

UGA only beat 1 ranked opponent this year...and that was us with 3 minutes left in the game!
 
Re: don\'t hit them with facts....

Not to give any credit to UGA, cause I certainly don't want to do that, but I also believe Boise State was ranked when UGA played them and won, so that would make it 2 ranked teams, correct?
