Has gotten Georgia tech to#24 recruiting ranking. Good for him. I hope he finds a way to play and whip Mullen

One leaves us for Florida, and we wish him the best. The other leaves us for Florida, and we wish ill will on him. Weird

One ran the other one off. One wasn't our HC. One wasn't arrogant. One gave us 100% in every aspect of the game. One... You get the picture

Collins should have been run off for that 1B bullshit. It cost us. And he chose to leave. Mullen didn't fire him. I wouldn't spit on Collins if he was on fire. He did the same thing people hate Mullen for. And he hung us out at the Orange Bowl and Egg Bowl.

Well, they both made lateral moves and both dress like they're 14 year olds....

Haha forgot about that 1b thing. You're right, that was terrible. I wouldn't coach for a guy that chewed me out in front of everyone like Mullen did to him after the ole Miss game so as much as it makes me mad that he left after that, I understand it.
I just don't see how he's recruiting so well at GT. Do they have a lot of bag men that they just haven't utilized until recently?

Do what?? Dan ran him off?? Wow.... either way. Manny had a good class at Miami today. He left us twice. Don't blame him for either. Hope he does well too.

[Todd4State]

I remember Collins catching some flak for his "lateral move".

Which is hilarious coming from Dan since he made the exact same lateral move three years later.

[Schultzy]

Both failed to coach the 2014 egg for a chance to participate in the first ever playoff.

I don't care if you have one foot out the door and think you're leaving but at least have enough integrity to finish the job you're at.

You've got it backwards. Part of that ass chewing was because Collins had already mailed it in. He was already out the door. That ass chewing didn't affect that decision.

And Georgia / Atlanta metro has plenty of talent. Couple that with plenty of playing time opportunities and it's not a hard sell.

GT couldn't beat Florida if they spotted them 3 TD's.

[StateDawg44]

Yeah.... going 10-2 back to back years is a lateral move.

I'm not a Mullen defender but if it makes you feel better to think to go from MSU to UF is a lateral move then the joke is on you.

Short answer is recruiting to the hip-hop cultural center of the south is not hard if you actually try. O'Leary had a Top 20 class in 2000, even Chan Gailey landed one in 2007. Paul Johnson hated recruiting more than Mullen and Hev.

Longer answer is that GT has a very powerful alumni base in corporate Atlanta. Until they left the SEC, they were the football power in GA, and there are still a number of people in powerful places that remember that and want to get back some of that. They also have a new university President that I think recognizes that to be competitive, GT has to be about more than engineering and that the growth of GA State (now the largest university in GA) has hurt them. This will be an interesting one to watch - especially with the potential for endorsements, etc coming down the pipe. They won't become Bama, but they could challenge the ACC structure easily.

Good, somebody needs to do it.

Keep this in mind too - UGA signed 3 players from GA yesterday. 3. With UGA moving to a national recruiting model, more GA talent is available to GT (GT got 12 GA kids yesterday) and is the highest profile D1 school available if they want to play in state.

I count 4 but didn't realize it was so few. Kirby screwing up letting that happen. There were 37 4* or better players in Ga. Bama, AU, LSU & Clemson wore Ga out in it's own state. Kirby shouldn't ever let that happen.

Naw ... you got it wrong. Dan was the one with half a foot out the door and shopping himself. The whole team wasn't prepared. Then Collins lost his starting safety before Egg Bowl and the backup went down with ACL early in the game. That's why Ingram tore us up down the middle. On the long run by OM scat back, he was surrounded by like 7 or 8 of our guys and all of them slacked up waiting for one of the others to make the tackle looked like to me. And he exploded through all of them for the 96 yarder.

Collins got the offer from McE after the post-game presser where Dan blamed him for the loss. But Dan didn't have his offense ready either. One of my main criticisms of Dan (which aren't many anymore) is before Grantham, he'd chew the DC or the D out but never took the blame when he O wasn't performing like it should.

Collins is a good coach IMO. Had two top 10 Ds at FL (8 and 5). The 1B stuff ... most of the stats against us that year were garbage time when we had big leads. And we exploded out to a lot of big leads that year. But that D could clamp down when it wanted to. Only gave up 323 to a Bama O in TTown that was averaging around 600/game when playing in TTown. All while the O put them deep in the hole several times to start the game. Cooper had like 8 or 9 catches for 85 or so yards, with one of those being a 50 yarder (the only long completion of that game). The D didn't play well in EB or Orange Bowl either.

Yeah, I missed 1. And they have 1 more committed. Still, 5 GA kids is almost criminal. I get it's the #4 rated class, but I think it's not going to play well in-state and when push comes to shove may hurt UGA longer term. When Clemson and AU start whipping you with your own kids, UGA Fan will go ballistic. AU signed 8 of the GA top 50

If For whatever reason We are Looking for a new HC after next year , GC would for sure be on my short list if not number 1
He checks basically every box for what everyone says we want and need in a coach.
