They are bad - really bad.
SMU is dismantling the Tech team right now.

No talent whatsoever.
Horrendous coaching / play calling

This was a program that could go toe to toe with most teams outside the top 15 - now, they may be a bottom 5 D1 program.

They are still sitting out waiting for that better bowl bid that’s not beneath them.

College football $$$$ happened. This is a prime example of a program getting absolutely gutted due to NIL pouring onto the scene. The NCAA abandoned small schools like Tech in the name of money and it is disgusting.

Gone are the days of small schools being able to compete and knock off big schools every once in a while. Yes, SMU poured a ton of money into the program (compared to tech) and it shows.

Only way to save anything from our athletic program (not just football) is a complete blow up and rebuild. Placing the right people and resources in place to succeed.

Problem is we don’t and really never have had the right people or resources in place lol. We are fricked. No way in todays landscape, short of a miracle, Tech will be competitive athletically. I’ve just accepted it. Don’t get me wrong I love my school, but as far as athletics go big time apathy has set in.

Lack of administrative support is definitely part of it.

Tech used to benefit immensely from just being able to recruit the I20 corridor and louisiana and find some gems that slipped through the cracks. Now with transfer portal and NIL any of said gems are jumping ship for a pay day as soon as they make a name for themselves. Techs best WR went to Mississippi state and our star LB is now at Tulane. I just don’t see any way tech can become competitive in todays CFB landscape unless the Davidsons or some big booster just starts dumping money at the program
