Which direction is our program going?

Dem, I know you don't understand but no (positive)fan FROM THE INSIDE would ever tear his own team down, be it in the army, The White House, Corporate World Or the Tech athletics program.

If I knew who you were and I was DRad, I'd fire you on the spot.

It's one thing to say how a player's health is or insinuate there may be a move on the depth chart from the inside, quite another when you tear down the coach (or anyone else). Gone or not, to be a part of the inside team and then tear down a teammate is a no no in my book.

I know you don't understand but by admitting that there are certain goals that must be met admits that the coach is in trouble (and I'm not talking internet complaining). That's a problem that will fester internally and externally. It does absolutely no good for the program.

I question that you are in fact on the inside now. I don't question your youth or lack of experience in a team arena.

Very good. The point is A plain Joe can do that and there will be little or no effect but some one with supposed credentials saying the same can cause devastating results.

Exellent. I to think Dem and others are over the top with no real answers just accusations of supposed failure by a coach who has had a number of things and fans , I believe working against him.

Let things remain as they are and thing will improve.

No real answers? Damn dude, I asked you a question and you tap danced all around it cause you had nothing but,..."well, recruiting is improving".

Still waiting to know what you can give me to show me that we are on the way to the top.

You blind loyalists are more damaging to the program than anyone you choose to lable as a "bad fan". :laugher:

3rdGenJacket,
cracks up that someone on this board thinks his ghey little sigs are humorous and clever.

I, like the many others here that work in the AA,because there are more on here usually stay reserved in some views. It's a message board though and its about opinions so I thought I would give my view. I still want to see how the season plays out but that is a tough task to accomplish winning out, they are capable of it but it will be tough. If he doesn't win out more then likely he would be gone. I think we will survive if that does indeed happen.

I know it's making excuses too, but what's come up in the last few years that makes you wonder 'What Woulda Coulda Shoulda Been'?
  • Limited scholarships
  • Tony Hollings' Sudden Knee Malfunction
  • Flunkgate
  • The Reuben Houston Distro Corp.
  • C. Johnson Catches Early Departure to Detroit
  • more?
Limited Scholarships.... 2011 ( 2007 + 4 seasons)
Tony Hollings............. 2003
Flunkgate.................. 2007 (2003 + 4 seasons)
Reuben Houston......... 2005
C. Johnson................ 2007

One man's "making excuses" is another man's "getting a true assessment of performance." What other episodic (i.e., not structural such as recruiting restrictions due to academics) obstacles has the program faced?
  • Greg Gathers' illness (what year was that?)
  • What happened to that Dorsey fellow?
On the other side, what advantages have been squandered in the Gailey?
  • Failure to capitalize on Calvin's superheroism
  • Others?

Recruiting restrictions are inherent at Tech, but they were ratcheted up quite a good bit after flunkgate. There's also probation, which has hurt our depth the past couple of years.
 
One question midatlanta....just who doesn't think Chan is on the bubble anyway? We need an insider to tell us that an AD fresh from LSU, who is looking at a stadium that's not full, a team out of the running for the ACCG after 4 conference games in the year the coach proclaims he has his best team, an offense that is last in the NCAA in TD passes and who has lost to their principle rival every year since he's been here, wouldn't be worried about the leadership of the program?

Why don't you just encourage him to limit his posts to less destructive?

I'm sorry but I love the Yellow Jackets because we used to be something different. As calculus laden engineers, managers, scientists and architects, we were able to think and analyze and then make a decision. And the sidewalk fans that I have had the pleasure to meet tended to fall similarly.

To help make a decision for the program by tearing it down internally was NOT what we were about.

"I have a good friend who is involved in the basketball program and he told me that if Hewitt doesn't win the ACC this year, that he's been told to move on." Oops, I let it slip (I didn't like him anyway, I wonder if that had anything to do with letting the truth slip out.) But whatever, I'm an insider and a fan and the facts is the facts.

Dem's quotes is not tearing down this program. I suspect he has done more for Tech than you have.
 
To answer the original question, the direction of the program is headed up.

My loyalty is to DR, and I have great confidence in him to make sure recruiting continues its improvement long after his guy is in place.
I believe Clough has confidence in him too to not embarrass the school, and will continue to allow a fair share of "borderline" cases to enroll.
