I thought Collins was a solid hire but he isn’t and they’re going to finish with 3 wins for the 3rd straight season.

It doesn’t seem like GT can even move on from him because he has 4 YEARS LEFT on his contract!

I get they needed some time to transition from Paul Johnson but Jimmy Sexton swindled them boys in a big way.

Sexton is gonna mess around and ADs are gonna stop dealing with his clients. Hard to screw people over with no major job offers.

Would you take over a Triple Option Team without at least 5 years to recruit a non triple option roster before being judged?

That's one of the toughest P5 jobs in the country, not even including the added burden of having to transition from the triple-option.

Collins may not get it done, but I think he's a good coach. He's probably regretting taking that job, because he would've had other opportunities.

Not sure anyone else they could have legitimately gotten could have done any better.

I probably would have went all in on a stone cold recruiter to at least have a chance picking off some 2nd level Atlanta area recruits.

He’ll land somewhere else as a good DC

Collins was known as a great recruiter.

Ehh he's having to completely overhaul a team that ran option for over a decade. That's not a quick turn around gig for anyone. 3 years is still too early to judge. They lost a lot of close games this year too so they may be beginning to turn the corner.

GT has some serious financial problems/debt.

Not sure they can afford to get rid of em.

GT athletics financial woes

This is arguably the most damning figure from this report: in FY2019, Georgia Tech spent more on debt service payments than on scholarships (listed under Athletic Student Aid). I rest my ca—[buzzes in ear] Hm, I’m getting word from Atlanta that there’s one more figure I must show you:

It’s the only way they were going to get someone to come in and fix the mess of Paul Johnson. You knew it was going to be a long process to turn that roster over.
