Wins needed next year to quell the blood lust

I typically don’t judge the team just on win total alone

Everbody says this until the season starts, and it's bullshit. Once TML, people do not give a öööö about whether the team actually looks improved or not, if we don't win the game then it's as bad or worse than it's ever been.

With that said, in 2022 it really will not matter whether we can see improvements in the team's play unless we have the wins to go along with it. And that won't change even if we win the first three games. If we start 3-0, we will be absolutely justified in suspecting that Clemson and Ole Miss are about to have catastrophic seasons. That is ordinarily an abhorrent way to look at Tech football for me, but that is the state of things now.
 
Per the Article from the Big Donors... 8

Also in that Article they are qouted as saying thatthe AD tied his career to Geoff by not buying him out this season. I wonder who the new AD hires?

Not true. There’sa huge difference between 6-6 with 6 blowout losses and 6-6 with 6 close losses. How you lose does matter.

On paper, yes. What I am saying is that none of the people on this board behave that way once the season begins. The only they care about seeing improvement in is the win column and if they don't get it, the team is not improving.

Ah. Ok. Yeah, that I agree with. I’m not one of the hand waving freakoutery guys, but I do know what you mean.

Re: your original point, I am not sure that looking better in losses will mean much of anything next year, or that it should, unless we were to reach the 6-win mark you mentioned. If we win 5 games, lose 4 we were competitive in, and get blown out in the remaining 3 like we did in our final two of this year, I think the "progress" has to be called far too little, too late. I don't think that kind of "improvement" can be considered encouraging. 2021 was the year where 5 wins would have probably kept Collins off the hot seat, but only if we hadn't gotten annihilated in the last two games like we did.

Dudes, it's not too late to fire Geoff this year.

We’d be torpedoing any chance of a decent recruiting class at this point. Early signing day is like two weeks away. No way we’d have somebody new in place, too many other schools looking for coaches out there. The pool this year is overfished.
 
to really quell the blood lust.... I think 8 wins quells....and that prob could be either 7 reg szn plus a bowl win or 8 reg szn with a bowl loss.

BUT- no shut outs on us and no drubbings or stupid losses either. Do your f'n job and field a quality team that knows what they're doing. It's time. We'll have good talent (especially if we get the 2 o-line txfrs).....get your head outta yer ass and let's show we're moving forward.
 
8 or UGA win or Coastal title.

I will not drag this out any longer for anything less.
 
He’s already lost me. He’s a clown. I refuse to believe he’ll do anything next year to change my mind. But, for the purpose of playing along, we need to win the Coastal and be competitive against UGa and Ole Miss.

Agree. That’s why I said we need the wins this time. There aren’t enough style points to make up for the losses now. Less than 6 wins next year and Collins needs to go.
