Could be ominous.
Then again, maybe they’re just getting together to give Geoff a vote of confidence.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

The biggest challenge they face is how to find some poor soul to run this dumpster fire for the last 8 games of the season.

I can’t understand why they fire him now. I’d make him take the rest of these losses and I don’t see them winning another game this season. It’s not like he’s going to agree to less money now than he will in late November.

I don’t get why they are doing this now. If they engage a search firm, they can do all of the behind the scenes work before November. It’s not like they are going to be able to recruit as a lame duck coaching staff for whoever is next.
I have absolutely no idea who will take this job at this point. I could see that coach saying “I ain’t coming because I don’t want to be measured against Kirby Smart and Dabo Swinney with clearly inferior players.”

Most D2-3 coaches who would like a bigger payday on a bigger stage. If they catch a little lightning in a bottle and win like Wake has the past couple years that could lead to bigger things. Hell Tech won a co national championship in 1990. Better can be done there. They’ve been so shitty for so long the majority of their fan base doesn’t think being decent is even possible. They’re in the ACC for Gawd’s sake. How hard can it be to be average in that shitty conference? Half their league could lose to Vanderbilt any given year. Do better Tech. Your stink is rubbing off on us a little by making our schedule even worse.

I think they fire him now to counter the spreading discussion that GT has no interest in big time sports, particularly football. They have shifted to academic emphasis over everything else including educating Georgia students.

But wouldn’t they better prove this commitment by saving money for the next regime I stead of pissing it away on a person who was from the jump unqualified and inept.
For all the talk about Nebraska hiring the guy from Kansas, Tech is who would most benefit from getting someone to teach them the basics. If they go the recruiter route again it’s gonna be even worse for them in 2-3 years.

Logically, you are correct. They should save money if they can. My point is that it is an emotional, public perception problem which is overriding dollars and cents.

They also have to get a jump on any real jobs that may become available later in the season. The more jobs available, the less desirable the Tech job looks.

Saw where former Ga Tech head coach Bill Fulcher passed away today. He still holds the shortest tenure as a tech head coach, 2 years. His experience at tech sucked so bad that he quit at age 39 after 2 years and never coached again.

Tech should keep Gee-off on the payroll, don’t fire him, but make him do some other job even if he keeps the title of “head football coach”. Give him an office somewhere away from the athletic offices and make him pick up trash or sweep floors. Make him do the new job until January so he can be fired and tech can save some buyout money.
Maybe he will get mad en0ugh to quit.

I’ve heard that but even in Hotlanta Deion would be dealing with academics and getting enough guys in would be a problem. You can get a basket ball team in Atlanta but too many bodies needed for football. They will go after an assistant or lower division coach with a good record of doing more with less talent.

Logic would say can Todd Stansbury first and let Collins hang on the rest of the year until his buyout goes down. The entire athletic program is in a pile of steaming financial shit and the Waffle house buyout isn’t going to help. You would think all those brainiacs on North Avenue would at least be able to figure out to have a financially sound athletic program in these days of crazy TV money.
