Watching history repeat itself.

To be clear, I wasn’t just referencing Southern fans. We had some of our own turn into option cultists where it’s option first, Tech second.

I just want to win and have the best coach for it. I don’t care what system it is as long as it wins.

Who? The only ones I remember leaving were cpj fans
 
The last time we had a real college football coach walking the sideline was when CPJ was here. It amazes me how many people spit on his legacy. Also, just because another coach, coached under CPJ, it doesn't mean he coaches the same offense scheme. Monken would be the safe hire but I'm holding out for the homerun hire. I thought CPJ was the homerun hire when he was hired. Who else was being considered? Rick Neuheisel? No thanks.

I’ll tell you what we need to do. We need to hire Monken for one day, put him in a room with all his fanboys, and let them take turns sucking him off.

Then we go hire a coach.

Wow. Lots of “poo” reactions. Guess we know who’s queuing up first.

Hire Jeff Monken or you are going to be here again crying in 4 years. Some of you need to reckon with yer delusions. Monken can open it up when he has the players or run the trip-o when he does not. He is the perfect fit for us.

Agreed. We know the spread option works well. Is it perfect? No, but we're also not a perennial top 10 program. I think that's the root issue with the anti-spread option folks. They don't understand that Tech is a program that, at best, averages 7-8 wins with a 9+ win year sprinkled in every 3-5 years. That's the best that we could hope for. Sure, Gailey gave us something like that when he brought in top notch talent (megatron, PJ daniels, and tenuta's vaunted defenses), but CPJ was even more successful with much lower quality talent. CPJ breathed life into our program that we hadn't seen in decades. It's a proven system, and if we have a chance of putting in a proven coach that runs similar system (Jeff Monken), we'd be fools to pass that up and roll the dice on another pro-style coach.

PS I'm definitely not an option cult member. I loved watching Gailey's teams when they were hitting on all cylinders. I just think Jeff would give us the best chance at succeeding on a regular basis.

While I loved PJ‘s offense we need to see how the new blocking rules effect the scheme before committing to a similar offense again.
 
The new blocking rules actually affect the gun spread teams more than flexbone teams. The blocks that have been outlawed are more of a spread thing. The flexbone doesn’t have to have those blocks, are they nice to have….yeah, but not essential.

I don't have time to read the entire thread right now, so apologies if this has already been said: shut up you don't know anything.

A Deion cult. A Monke cult. Jesus. You're all ööööed in the head.

Chadwell or kermit. Simple.

Deion first, Chadwell second, anything after that is a mistake

I wish I shared you guys' apparent confidence/certainty that Deion would be more likely to be the guy than to complete our descent into the abyss. You are all starved for wins and your desperation inclines you to hope more than to think, and we literally just fired a coach we hired that way.

Chadwell makes sense to me. My first pick would be to give Bill Clark a blank check, but since it's a little soon after his retirement for that, Chadwell looks like the best bet if he's even interested in the job. Given our fanbase's schemesperging, he may be reticent to climb up on Paul Johnson's old cross.

The thing with Deion is that he's going to bring all the football talent in the world here. Travis will follow him, multiple big name transfers will come, and with that skill set, it'll be real tough for him to suck. I like Chadwell's scheme, I like him as a coach. It's just that under him, it'll take a few years to bounce back instead of almost instantaneously under Deion.

@coit shows up in 3-2-1 to point out an illegal block in your post.

There is no coach alive who can accomplish what you're describing. We are capable of competing nationally with the talent we can bring in under any coach, we twice fielded one of the best teams in the nation with a high school offense and a coach with all the charisma of Deion's scar tissue, who had nevertheless coached and prepared his team well and so they played well.

Lots of you still seem to think we are the right coach away from being Clemson and that is very simply not true. Making a hire in pursuit of illogical and impossible goals will invariably produce unsatisfactory results.
