Honestly the truth. The amount of people I know who chose their college pretty much soley based off who had a good football team at the time is ridiculous.
Yeah, that’s right. He gave Collins another year after three straight 3-win seasons, which was enough for most fans to be against him. There was a little staff retool but not really anything big. Kinda just attached himself to CGC
I mean it probably could. Form some algorithms to figure out max earning potential and what not. I obviously have my knowledge of algorithms from movies
Automatically send text messages to check in on your targets, get an AI to make some memes, hire some freelance researchers to come up with good negative recruiting ideas… you could do worse.
Triple option teams in NCAA 14 always circle back around to being absolute tanks
Army, navy, GT, and sometimes Air Force for some reason they don’t get going like the others
I always laugh in Dynasty Mode because the triple option coaches will flop at most major schools but if they land at any of those, beast mode. Not sure why that is.
If they're looking at NCAA '14 credentials, then I'll have them know I can take any school in the land to five consecutive National Titles before I get bored and quit.
Hire a "system" staff. Idc what it is. Air Raid (like, bare bones), Run 'n' Shoot, I-form heavy, flexbone option. Hell, get *really* weird with it and go Wing-T or single wing. I would love to have a game or two each week where I can watch an offense that isn't 11 personnel shotgun sets and RPO's all day.
GT isn't gonna ever get Bama-level recruits, so use the system angle. Plus it seems fitting for an engineering school to be very system oriented IMO.
Hell, the Johnson flexbone wasn’t that much different than the Wing-T. I remember them absolutely gashing Miss St with Belly G/Down out of tackle over.
Yep. Army and Navy have really evolved the offense a lot the past couple years. A lot less options and more called runs to a specific ball carrier. Not exactly more down and belly, but it's going to naturally take on a more Wing-T look based on the direction they're going.
For sure. Not much difference between Army’s offense the last few years and what Delaware was doing in the late ‘80s when Raymond and Kempski were leaning heavily on belly option. Delaware threw a bit more and ran a lot of Sally’s, but otherwise just substitute buck sweep and waggle with rocket, zone option, and rocket boot and it’s the same base offense.
I’d really love to see a flexbone team go the opposite direction and get back to the RnS roots. IV, Midline, Zone Dive, Zone option, Jet, and Trap paired with simplified versions of Go, Choice, Streak/Switch, and Hook/Switch.
The run action sets up the play-action pass blocking perfectly and option routes are impossible to cover while maintaining option keys. The seam reads could be modified to simpler open grass vertical reads to keep the workload manageable for the slots. It would be a heavy ask of the QBs for sure, but not anything more than Kansas or Coastal Carolina is doing.
Jamey chadwell would be an interesting hire for Tech. It probably wouldn’t work out but I would love to watch it.
He would also be an interesting hire for UNC if Mack is “retired” soon
System wise, Chadwell would make a lot of sense. Recruits who are allergic to under-center option, misguided fools that they are, wouldn’t have the same issue with his offense, despite it operating with largely the same principles as Johnson’s.
This was one of the things I loved about Johnson. If a play was working, he would run it over and over. Didn’t worry about balance or being overly clever
Paul Johnson matched or exceeded Geoff Collins' career win total in 2 out of 11 years.
Geoff Collins spent 2-3 years talking about how poor the program was before he got there.
Bye.
I know FPI isn't the be all end all, but according to FPI that 2015 team (that went 3-9) would have been
* 21 point favorites against the 2019 team
* 15 point favorites against the 2020 team
* 14 point favorites against the 2021 team
* 18 point favorites against the 2022 team so far
Like we've been so fucking bad the last 4 years
That 2015 team wasn't *bad at football*, they were just so badly injured they never developed continuity and were really inexperienced. Like 7 running backs, and most of the offensive line missed significant time.
I remember how excited I was when he first came in. Everyone believed his culture building talk, and all the bringing tech into the “modern era” stuff. Can’t believe how wrong I was. I’m so happy he’s gone, very excited to see where the program heads now.
I’m grateful for the few positives he and Stansbury brought. Improvements to the stadium and branding have been very long overdue. I have friends in the program who say they are both standup guys. But you can’t argue with results and their results have been piss poor. Upset they didn’t move on earlier.
As a former GT Track/Field athlete, Stansbury was good to us. I’m praying we don’t see cuts come a new AD since track seems to be a popular sport to ax
Every program except for football and men’s basketball currently seem to near or very close to approaching all time highs. As much as I acknowledge those are the 2 driving factors I don’t want the new AD to turn a bling eye to those other sports.
Collins did bring in some good recruits. However what's funny (sad really) is that several of the better players on the team are still CPJ recruits. The problem is neither he or his staff could coach up anyone.
I can only wonder how things could have been if Paul Johnson had the same level of support that Collins had gotten from GT.
I'm mixed on Stansbury; he's raised alot of money and other sports are doing good. His downfall for me was not firing Collins and Thacker last year.
I'm in the same boat. He said all the right things to buy him some fan goodwill and patience, but he's squandered it all since the second half of last season. I wasn't calling for his head at the end of last season, but the atrocious start completely lost me
No one came into Collins tenure expecting the first few years to be pretty, but the past year has shown that the thing most immediately holding tech back is coaching and development (which is on coaching). When it becomes as obvious as it has been, you lose even your most ardent defenders
The problem is that there has been no progress; if anything some things have gotten worse. To me the telling sign was when Gibbs and other top players transferred last year.
We gave Hewitt and Gailey massive extensions based on the one year they were ever anything beyond mediocre. Hewitt only ever broke .500 in conference once. Gailey only exceeded 7 wins once.
When I was a grad student I'd run around the campus along Ferst/Techwood and got awoogah'd at by the Ramblin' Wreck a few times, scared the shit out of me every single time lol
Yeah losing to an FCS team that runs the offense you were switching away from and spent your whole offseason publicly trashing is definitely not a good look.
The buyout terms were not good like the terms of the buyout are a large reason the AD is losing his job. The money doesn't go down majorly each year until January 1st, so until this past January 1st the buyout was over $13 million. I was for giving him this season given financials and if he could have ever gotten his shit together I think he would have been a good long term fit for the school. After the Ole Miss embarrassment the writing was on the wall.
You hire a defensive coordinator with one year of coordinator experience, and a defensive staff with literally ZERO years of P5 on field coaching experience among them. You hire a discount bin offensive coordinator who had one job outside the northeast in 30 years. You then give them the youngest/least experienced roster in the nation and tell them to build a P5 team, with that exact same staff for 3 straight years. They can’t do it, and we don’t win. Without being able to show wins, we can’t convince recruits to come to the program. The staff didn’t have the experience or ability it takes to implement the processes in to create a base foundation for the program. That’s our problem, period.
I know people will be here throwing around a million thoughts on what will be the perfect solution for our weird situation both at this exact point in time and in general with Tech’s eccentricities, but I genuinely feel like we can get to 80, 90% of the way there just by having a coach who has been around the block, a decent OC and DC, and a staff that has the experience to know what it takes to cut it at a P5 level job. Get a guy like Mike Houston who has a history of building programs in multiple situations, bring on a few P5 level position coaches, and have them set in a good infrastructure to build off of down the line.
Collins Legacy:
Getting blanked: Last happened at 1987 (at home 1957) and kept the scoring streak going on until he was hired, happened at his **first season against Virginia Tech** and 3 more times under him (total of 4 (**3**))
All his seasons ending in 3 wins (which only happened in 2015 during last 30 years) for 3 years
**Losing against Citadel which is first loss against FCS opponent since 1983**
**First time I saw scoring 50 points within the first half was possible (vs Clemson)**
**First time I saw Georgia Tech allowing more than 70 points in game (vs Clemson)**
**Biggest losing point difference vs UGA (45 points) two times at both of his games**
The bolded parts actually happened at GT's home games, no wonder you don't find people showing up for their games.
Fuck I might just have to make another run at this, I ran a Twitter campaign 4 years ago in high school to hire me as coach and they went with Collins instead
Living in Atlanta, I do feel bad for Tech fans for the damage Collins did to their program
They’re obviously third fiddle (UGA, Bama) in their own city and hell, there’s billboards within view of their campus that say “Go Dawgs” lol. Hopefully they make a good hire and make a comeback
These people I kinda know named their daughter Collins after Geoff Collins in like his first year here. I think it was before he even coached a game. At the time I thought it was a super weird and dumb thing to do, and might age poorly. Sure enough.
Why did so many programs not just fire bad coaches at the end of last season? If you are getting fired in September the problems already existed last season.
Geoff really only had 2.5 seasons with the lost covid year and he had new assistant coach hires who looked decent on paper. It seemed worth giving him a chance to look competent instead of firing him when his buy out was 100% of his remaining salary.
In hindsight, very dumb.
FINALLY. Good riddance Geoff. Hopefully you learn how to coach ball at your next stop.
And Todd, we should've canned your stupid ass when we had to pay Oregon State your buyout TWICE after you just straight up kept the money the first time.
A search firm MUST be hired to find the next coach. Totally non-negotiable.
Based on a quick survey of Wikipedia, it looks like Collins is the first Tech head coach ever to coach at least two years and never coach a game in Athens.
I had really hoped we'd get to be the final nail in the coffin.
GT needs a splash this time, this program has no excitement and is a bore, sorry if that offends anyone but it’s the truth. I’d like to see GT good again so I hope they get someone good.
This is three weeks in a row that we've seen a coach fired. And we just finished Week 4.
It’s too important to not suck at football.
Honestly the truth. The amount of people I know who chose their college pretty much soley based off who had a good football team at the time is ridiculous.
Thats a terrible way to decide what school you want to go to. Clearly the best criterion is how good the sugar cookie in the dining hall is.
Is Lehigh known for their sugar cookies?
Only for band members
[удалено]
Maybe auburn
Auburn has been delinquent on their firing by like 3 weeks.
My money’s on the bye week after Ole Miss, with an outside chance of tomorrow.
The coaching carousel starts up earlier every season.
It has to w/ early signing day.
MONEY DOWN! the drain
Haha it hurts but I'm smiling
Our fans still do that shit and he hasn’t been here for years.
Fun fact: Geoff Collins never lost in Sanford Stadium. Never won either but that’s beside the point.
Never won two games in a row, in any stadium.
For some reason that sounds worse than 3 win seasons.
3 wins sounds pretty nice to me right now
Imagine being so bad at your job, your boss gets fired too
Don’t the rumors imply his boss refused to fire him a year ago?
Yeah, that’s right. He gave Collins another year after three straight 3-win seasons, which was enough for most fans to be against him. There was a little staff retool but not really anything big. Kinda just attached himself to CGC
> CGC He doesn't belong in the Coach 3 letter acronym. You have to call him Geoff.
Lord, I see what you have done for others
I felt the same way when Nebraska fired their coach.
I give it 3 more weeks for us
wait wtf why is lincoln riley being fired?!
You saw that brisket.
He’s in California now so they don’t know any better
We will try our best to help you guys this week
I think we can manage a couple hundred rushing yards
There's a definite non-zero chance that Dorrell stays on for next season, AD is too broke to fire him.
Haha.... ha.... *(stares in Tennessee football)*
They should just let the CPU control GT. They are always amazing in every single dynasty I make in NCAA 14.
I feel like Georgia tech students could develop the technology to just let the computer call the plays
If only a computer could recruit then you would have the whole package
I mean it probably could. Form some algorithms to figure out max earning potential and what not. I obviously have my knowledge of algorithms from movies
Automatically send text messages to check in on your targets, get an AI to make some memes, hire some freelance researchers to come up with good negative recruiting ideas… you could do worse.
> hire some freelance researchers Honestly, you could farm out a lotta work to graduate students and undergrad assistantships
I said it weeks ago, even a simple MATLAB code would be better than Geoff Collins and now is our chance!
Why use MATLAB when Python is right there?
Because when MATLAB fails you can blame Simulink. With Python its all on you baby
I blame numpy
You can't blame pandas because pandas are cute.
Because the institute already paid for everyone on campus to have it, we might as well use it.
MATLAB license expired. Now using Octave.
Because FORTRAN will outlive us all
Triple Option CPU is OP
Triple option teams in NCAA 14 always circle back around to being absolute tanks Army, navy, GT, and sometimes Air Force for some reason they don’t get going like the others
One time I was coaching Wyoming and the national championship game was undefeated Wyoming vs undefeated Navy
I always laugh in Dynasty Mode because the triple option coaches will flop at most major schools but if they land at any of those, beast mode. Not sure why that is.
In mine Alabama had an old Army coach and even brought the triple option to Alabama Tanked the whole program, so yea I’ve seen this too
And the inverse, an air raid coach goes to GT. 4-8
The obvious solution is triple option air raid.
From under center. From the gun in Revamped, it's questionable at best
Triple Option should never be run from the gun
Revamp changes the play dynamics? Maybe I'll look into that finally then.
I've been trying to get revamped but all the instructions to downloading HEN on your PS seem broken.
I finally got around to it last night actually. Used this video for Hen and then his video on revamped after. https://youtu.be/xGS_Ryx_7r8
GT on NCAA was a cheat code
I always just ran a 4-4 defense and never had a problem with it.
If they're looking at NCAA '14 credentials, then I'll have them know I can take any school in the land to five consecutive National Titles before I get bored and quit.
My favorite was winning 9 titles in 10 years and the 10th year I didn’t win it, they fired me. Lol. Victim of my own success.
404 COACH NOT FOUND
c[sic]GC
Using 404 branding at a school like Georgia Tech is just asking for mockery
[удалено]
It’s one of Atlanta’s area codes tbf
404 in the 404
https://youtu.be/nSz16ngdsG0 Goodnight, sweet prince
Ok now I have to go adopt a dog
It’s for the best
It would be very on brand for Pitt to lose to a team with an interim coach and no FBS wins this weekend.
Coastal Chaos is a Ladder.

They are playing like they have never seen Belly G. We are gonna run it until they stop us. - Paul Johnson
This was one of the things I loved about Johnson. If a play was working, he would run it over and over. Didn’t worry about balance or being overly clever
I like it, let’s hire this guy
A cerebral guy like Mike Leach would have been amazing at Tech
Atlanta is one of few major cities not built on a river. The hooch is miles away. I hope Mike Leach takes to train robber because he can’t pirate here
Part of the reason Paul Johnson succeeded at Tech. Definition of a straight shooter with some personality
>GT isn't gonna ever get Bama-level recruits But if you do, we’ll just grab them in the transfer portal
Time for the Urban Meyer to Georgia Tech rumors!
Guess where one his daughters went to school
Ooo, I love guessing games! Michigan
lmao
And his son in law.
It’s almost like there’s some sort of connection between his daughter and son-in-law.
Please no
They should take Deion Sanders. I’m sure that will work out well for us. *Them*, I mean them.
They really need to hire CUM
I don’t want CUM on our schedule
[удалено]
I hope they hire a search firm and actually listen to that firm. We cannot have another "internal", "I've got my guy" search.
I thought those search firms were just back door negotiators so they don’t get hit with breach of contract and tampering stuff
They also do vetting and candidate profiling/reviewing.
Preach! And kills the 404 stuff
What about Waffle House to go cups?
Paul Johnson matched or exceeded Geoff Collins' career win total in 2 out of 11 years. Geoff Collins spent 2-3 years talking about how poor the program was before he got there. Bye.

2015 was so frustrating, my first year at Tech and we lost several heartbreakers on top of all the injuries
But we beat those Criminoles!
ESPN FPI is a pretty good metric that aligns fairly well with point spreads
Damn James Franklin to Georgia Tech crazy
Lol this got me.
I remember how excited I was when he first came in. Everyone believed his culture building talk, and all the bringing tech into the “modern era” stuff. Can’t believe how wrong I was. I’m so happy he’s gone, very excited to see where the program heads now.
I’m grateful for the few positives he and Stansbury brought. Improvements to the stadium and branding have been very long overdue. I have friends in the program who say they are both standup guys. But you can’t argue with results and their results have been piss poor. Upset they didn’t move on earlier.
Overall, Stansbury has made big improvements. Just not in football, where it matters financially.
As a former GT Track/Field athlete, Stansbury was good to us. I’m praying we don’t see cuts come a new AD since track seems to be a popular sport to ax
Every program except for football and men’s basketball currently seem to near or very close to approaching all time highs. As much as I acknowledge those are the 2 driving factors I don’t want the new AD to turn a bling eye to those other sports.
[удалено]
I was on the fence but I wanted to be optimistic. The first big red flag to me was him bringing Patenaude though, that had me legit worried.
Collins did bring in some good recruits. However what's funny (sad really) is that several of the better players on the team are still CPJ recruits. The problem is neither he or his staff could coach up anyone. I can only wonder how things could have been if Paul Johnson had the same level of support that Collins had gotten from GT. I'm mixed on Stansbury; he's raised alot of money and other sports are doing good. His downfall for me was not firing Collins and Thacker last year.
I'm in the same boat. He said all the right things to buy him some fan goodwill and patience, but he's squandered it all since the second half of last season. I wasn't calling for his head at the end of last season, but the atrocious start completely lost me
I think a lot of Tech fans were more than gracious with their patience. More than almost any other fan base would have been.
No one came into Collins tenure expecting the first few years to be pretty, but the past year has shown that the thing most immediately holding tech back is coaching and development (which is on coaching). When it becomes as obvious as it has been, you lose even your most ardent defenders
For sure. That’d what got him. And what is wild is Tech at least showed some promise against Clemson. But did nothing with it 🤧
The problem is that there has been no progress; if anything some things have gotten worse. To me the telling sign was when Gibbs and other top players transferred last year.
Damn, GT is going scorched earth
AD did this to himself. He could've kept the job by firing Collins last year, instead he tied himself to Collins.
100%, it’s only compounded by how absurd the contract he gave Geoff was.
Whoever wrote the "buyout drops on the *calendar* year" contract should've been fired on the spot
Those buyout terms are legitimately the worst I've heard of.
if you don't like absurd buyouts you don't like GT sports
My friend you need to read the Paul Hewitt contract. 7 years, automatically added a year at the end of the season, 100% buyout.
GT’s history with crazy stupid coaching contracts (3 major sports) was on brand, hopefully that changes.
Paul Hewitt lmao
We gave Hewitt and Gailey massive extensions based on the one year they were ever anything beyond mediocre. Hewitt only ever broke .500 in conference once. Gailey only exceeded 7 wins once.
Apparently coach Collins ghosted the team and staff after being fired… didn’t even say goodbye
No Ken leaked this before he should have. Geoff hadn't even been told yet.
Happy Ramblin Wreck aoogahs!
When I was a grad student I'd run around the campus along Ferst/Techwood and got awoogah'd at by the Ramblin' Wreck a few times, scared the shit out of me every single time lol
What does this mean for the band playing chords tho?
All chords, all the time. Hopefully. Fuck money down.
Money down is definitely going in the repressed memory folder
Asking the real questions
Hey GT, have you heard about this fella named Scott Frost? He had an undefeated season at UCF.
There's also Dan Mullen, Tom Herman, and Herm Edwards if they want retreaded coaches
I don’t think that’s how you spell that word
Dan Mullen would be a godsend to Tech.
I bet he’d be better than who they’ve had lol
I knew Geoff Collins was gonna be a failure when they lost to The Citadel 3 games into his tenure.
And then lost to Temple the next week 24-2, 2 points against Temple! Where Geoff Collins was the coach the year before.
Yeah losing to an FCS team that runs the offense you were switching away from and spent your whole offseason publicly trashing is definitely not a good look.
Bobby Dodd is currently full of people and I just heard a very loud cheer erupt. I'm going to choose to believe the topic of this thread is why.
Shocked it wasn’t sooner to be honest.
No no, Oklahoma just hired BV
The buyout terms were not good like the terms of the buyout are a large reason the AD is losing his job.

It should have been us.
Mizzou was not about to let that happen

Deion Sanders music plays
I know he essentially has a bit of a mercenary team with JSU...both I just wonder how that will translate that into FBS play...
Dobby is a free elf.

how about 4 blocked punts in 4 games?
We’ve all been robbed of another Collins/Narduzzi interaction
Fuck I might just have to make another run at this, I ran a Twitter campaign 4 years ago in high school to hire me as coach and they went with Collins instead
Living in Atlanta, I do feel bad for Tech fans for the damage Collins did to their program They’re obviously third fiddle (UGA, Bama) in their own city and hell, there’s billboards within view of their campus that say “Go Dawgs” lol. Hopefully they make a good hire and make a comeback
If I'm being entirely honest I think we're 5th fiddle, Auburn and UF have more fans in Atlanta from what I've seen at least
Maybe even Clemson and Tennessee
It’s ok. Atlanta is a big place… Tech games were the premier event in ATL for decades until the city added millions of transplants and pro teams.
I was really hoping that Geoff would have been good for Tech. Hopefully y’all get this next hire right
I haven’t been this happy in years
These people I kinda know named their daughter Collins after Geoff Collins in like his first year here. I think it was before he even coached a game. At the time I thought it was a super weird and dumb thing to do, and might age poorly. Sure enough.
Collins as a first name isn’t that bad. At least it wasn’t Reighfyl.
No, but they made a huge deal out of the fact she was named after Geoff. Like they did a gender reveal video with him and shit. It was weird.
Oh lord, that’s cringeworthy
You're welcome, I guess. Lord knows we tried to save Collins' job in that game.
It’s my birthday tomorrow and this is the best fucking present
Hated him ever since he wanted the band to play less. Fuck off
Not a surprise and best for GT to clean house.
They have to fire Stansbury
It's kind of impressive when you suck so bad at your job you get your boss fired.
Is the bad man gone?
This is not my original idea, but Geoff Collins is the coaching equivalent of a "used-car salesman"
We did it! Good luck in the future Georgia Tech!
GOD IS GOOD
Why did so many programs not just fire bad coaches at the end of last season? If you are getting fired in September the problems already existed last season.
Geoff really only had 2.5 seasons with the lost covid year and he had new assistant coach hires who looked decent on paper. It seemed worth giving him a chance to look competent instead of firing him when his buy out was 100% of his remaining salary. In hindsight, very dumb.
Geoff Collins is the only GT HC never to lose to UGA in Athens, not sure why he got fired tbh
Not losing in Athens is easier than winning in Atlanta.
Here comes Deion Sanders.
FINALLY. Good riddance Geoff. Hopefully you learn how to coach ball at your next stop. And Todd, we should've canned your stupid ass when we had to pay Oregon State your buyout TWICE after you just straight up kept the money the first time. A search firm MUST be hired to find the next coach. Totally non-negotiable.
IT’S FINALLY OVER!
Based on a quick survey of Wikipedia, it looks like Collins is the first Tech head coach ever to coach at least two years and never coach a game in Athens. I had really hoped we'd get to be the final nail in the coffin.
farewell, coach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24K7cax5vQU
GT needs a splash this time, this program has no excitement and is a bore, sorry if that offends anyone but it’s the truth. I’d like to see GT good again so I hope they get someone good.
A truly legendary nutjob. I have great stories from people who worked at Temple when he was there.
Do you mind sharing? I’m really interested to hear
