I’ll give you 90, but if you’re telling me that winning the orange bowl over Mississippi state and beating UGA that year, while losing to a team in the playoffs by 2 POINTS? Wasn’t more fun than losing to Miami in the gator bowl along with a 7-5 UVA team, and losing to a 4-7 Boston college and an 11-2 FSU? You’re crazy

I was about to say the same thing. The highest we got was 1998 when we were Co ACC Champions with a team that boat-raced us during the season. 1999 was considered by most to be a disappointment at the time with all we had coming back. 2000 was fun and a pleasant surprise with a new QB that we were unsure about. 1990 was great. No öööö! I know this, since Dodd left (54 years), we have beaten a UGA team that actually finished with a winning record 8 times. 3 of those were with O'Leary, 3 were with Johnson. I would love to beat UGA regularly, but we are going to have to do something different than what we have been doing to get that done.

Gibbs is phenomenal, but I do not understand how Collins continues to get so much street cred for bringing in Simms. He'd be a great WR/Safety/DB (or gasp, option quarterback), but he is not a pro-style QB. He plays mindlessly.

For that matter, everyone talks up Collins' recruiting so much, but we're in Year 3 and the only player who is discernibly a cut above what CPJ was bringing in is Gibbs. Everyone else visibly appears to be a CPJ-level talent but in a system that doesn't hide talent weaknesses. We're in a P5 conference in Atlanta, it shouldn't take that long for a noticeable increase in athleticism. Year 3, you should have some juniors and sophomores who are clearly higher-level players, even if they're not fully polished yet. AND we're in the transfer portal era. Why is he getting so much credit for recruiting?

So he should get credit for the Juniors? So you mean the players CPJ recruited that CGC chose to honor after being around for a couple weeks. Yes, I know, counting is hard.

literally no one is happy with GC's performance yet plenty of the PJ Fan Club have pointed with pride to the 2018 season as the pinnacle of achievement and as proof that PJ's system could win at a big level even as it was getting blown out by Clemson and the mutts and a forgettable bowl loss.

There is not one damn person on here that thinks that 2018 was the "pinnacle of achievement". However, at this point, if GCG finishes with 7 wins next year it WILL BE considered a very good achievement. Basically, in the world of coaching, you can always go up, but not down. The fact is that ALL OF US on here really want CGC to be successful. We ALL want Tech to win as many games as they can. We ALL want to beat UGA. We ALL want to recruit all of the 4 and 5 star athletes in and out of Georgia. We can "what if ______ had happened or what if ______ had not happened?" all day long. None of that changes the result on the field now

I mean you clearly weren’t either, so all you can do is suck up to the coaches that are big publicity stunts

Yet I still was smart enough to get into one of the best schools in the world for my degree, and excel there.

You, on the other hand, could not. So you were both a football failure and an academic failure.

Lol nest and broth… and what makes you think I couldn’t? I literally just wanted to keep playing football lol.

I’m thoroughly convinced most of the GC Fan Club would absolutely love us to be on-par with Vanderbilt and Washington State, bottom tear in our conference and maxing out at 3 wins each season.

Where do you get that from? We don't whistfully dream of having Monken as or HC or anything. We are for a coach who is recruiting much, much better than our prior coach and are looking for him to transform our roster into something that competes yearly toe to toe with Clemson and UGAg

Well, we’re recruiting the talent, just not coaching them

I am looking for that too. I have been for over 40 years

So .... we need to keep looking for a coach?

Because the only thing this coach is transforming the program to is to a laughingstock.
I hope he turns it around. I do.
I just don't think he will. I think the challenge far exceeds his grasp.

the beginning of '99 saw us in the national title hunt and the top 10 for most of the season, falling out of that in early November. And a screwed-over Heisman candidacy. So yes, "most of '99" was more fun to me than barely scraping by Southern at home then losing consecutively to Duke & UNC and never reaching the top 10. The end of 2014 was awesome but meant little, as we didn't win the ACC nor make the CFP. We then completely threw away any 2014 gains very quickly the following season.

The end of '98 was a ton of fun too. Beating the mutts for the first time in 7 years and then beating hated Notre Dame in a New Year's Day bowl (as ACC Co-Champs, back when there weren't 80+ bowl invites) with the knowledge that JoeHam and that WR crew with Fridge's O was coming back in '99....sublime.

Probably because we lost to 7 win Wake Forest and 7 win Virginia… didn’t know that felt better than 2014…

And we lost to a 4 win Boston College team… which is even worse…

We should just change coaches every two years until we are UCONN

Didn’t reach the top 10? Didn’t we finish the season like #7 or something?

Edit: yeah 7 on coaches poll

You’re just cupping the sack, whatever that means.

I'd take sucking badly for a few years during a rebuild, rebounding and starting to compete again in the upper tier of the ACC rather than having a 3-loss season as our ceiling.

This is a stupid argument. Point blank. We were already competing for division titles on a yearly basis under CPJ and even Gailey, to a lesser degree. Other than the stretch where Clemson was too dominant to compete with, we had at least an outside shot at the ACC title just about every single season.

We are SO far from that right now that it’s unbelievable. We have to stop with this revisionist history that we were in the cellar. We were a top 4-5 team in the ACC throughout PJ’s tenure, and nearly won our division in his last season. Things had gotten stale and it was probably time for a change, but we weren’t a losing program until Collins took over, so if we have to get “back” to anything, it’s because Collins took us down in the first place.
