“All I’ve ever been everywhere I’ve been is successful.”

Coach ATL sounds like a guy who’s been drinking a little too much Waffle House coffee.

With his team coming off two lopsided defeats and public criticism growing, Georgia Tech coach Geoff Collins answered back at his weekly news conference Tuesday…

“There’s a lot of people that want to tear you down,” he said. “There’s a lot of people that want to build you up. There’s a lot of people that want to be in your corner. There’s a lot of people don’t want to turn their back on you. And I keep score, too.”

While insisting that his team is on track to reach a “ridiculously high level”, he proceeded to channel his inner Booch.

“A lot of people just want to look at results,” Collins said. “They don’t want to see the progress and the steps in the journey, which I see every single day. Every single day, we’re building, and we’re building something that’s very special.”

Sounds like that seven-year plan is right on schedule.
