I don't mean to be "obnoxious & divisive" about the past.
I would like to see 1 more Natl Title from GT FB in whatever time I have left, based on statistics most of us have more behind us than we do in front of us.
So when a FB Coach making 7 figures, even if it is at the lower end of the P5 scale, that HC should do his #1 Job, which is recruit.
All he had to do was stay in the car on the Road inside the 13 County Metro Atlanta Area.
It is highly disappointing to see Local Kids that could've played for GT, playing for other schools and going to the NFL if our HC had focused on his #1 Job.
Next, if you look at the Top125 HS FB Players from GA, most reasonable CFB minds would look at that talent and say to themselves, "there's no reason to run the Option" - I can run anything I want with all this talent, this means that the Coach was too stubborn to adapt to changes in CFB.
Saban, did, now even Bama runs HUNH , and other variations of the spread offense.
And finally, I'm not getting my way, I'm simply rooting for the Guy in charge, stop overthinking things, this is supposed to be entertainment, this is what makes America great, how we celebrate our pastimes, enjoy the season, the ups as well as the downs.
