Chaney's other meaningful baggage is in Athens.

Almost universally, new head coaches who create a bump do so in year two or three; if not by then, it usually doesn’t happen. Recent performance, massive losses in production, a lack of game-changing additions, and an absolutely brutal schedule mean that realistic expectations for this year’s outcome fall right around what we have seen the last three seasons. And that isn’t, and shouldn’t be, good enough. As we launch into this year’s Opinion Week, I believe very strongly that Georgia Tech will be looking for its 22nd head football coach sometime in 2022.

His fate is sealed. Same for Pastner. They'll both be gone in months not years.

I hope so.

Though if there was ever a year to skate to a bowl game this would be it.
Four first-year coaches in the division. A struggling FSU from the Atlantic. One FCS opponent to pad the win column. If the new assistant coaches/coordinators can produce something competent Collins might survive.

Another year of Collins is one of the worst things imaginable for GT football.
The ONLY way they should keep him is if the Jackets win 10+ games, including wins over FSU, Ole Miss, and UCF - and keep the Clemson and Georgia games CLOSE - which ain't happening! (But if it DID happen, then yeah, by all means, extend his contract!)

If he goes to a bowl game he won't be fired. But he also won't be extended. The heat won't go away much if any.

I would think if he goes 5-7 he is safe.. 1 or 2 wins over UCF/Ole Miss/WCU/Georgia and 3-4 wins over ACC schedule. He is safe, I agree that the heat wont go away and the fans wont come back. He lost the fanbase with all the talk and disrespect of CPJ in year 1 and losses to the Citadel. it would take B2B8 win seasons to get the fans back IMHO. FWIW I am hearing more and more fans that want Jeff Monken and the 3O back. I think we need to give Chip Long a chance before we go back to the 3O.

Clemson - LOSS
Western Carolina - WIN
Ole Miss - Loss
UCF - Loss
Pitt -Loss
Duke - Win
BYE WeeK
Virginia - Toss up
Florida State - Toss Up
Virginia Tech - Toss Up
Miami - Loss
North Carolina - Toss UP
Georgia - Loss

Geoff Collins fate will be determined before the Georgia game (Oct 20- Nov 19). If Tech moves on from him it wil not be announced sometime after 7 Dec 2022. If they win 5-7 games he gets to the next year. If he wins 3-4 games he will be dismissed!

That Georgia game has Chan Gailey's last year vibes all over it. Either GT wins .... and Collins is granted a stay of execution .... or Collins is fired within hours of the game ending. Which is just another way of saying GT wins. Literally can't lose!

I just hope Georgia Tech doesn't come try to steal Clay Helton from Georgia Southern. He seems to be doing what Georgia Tech tried to do but way better.

Former Clemson QB comes to Georgia Tech with chance to start, save Geoff Collins’ job


Georgia Tech was outscored 100-0 in its final two games of 2021 and saw its home stadium overrun with red and black for the season finale. It's clear that time is running out for Collins to turn the tide on his tenure, and while it was always going to take a few years to transition out of the triple option, this season needs to indicate a major step forward. Sims has shown flashes throughout his two years at Georgia Tech but has struggled with turnovers and durability while compelling just 57% of his passes. In 2021, Sims threw 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions while splitting time under center with Jordan Yates, who has since transferred to Sam Houston State. Phommachanh arrived at Clemson as a 4-star recruit and was considered one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the country out of high school as part of the 2019 recruiting class. However, he couldn’t crack the starting lineup as he sat behind a guy with long blonde hair in 2019 and 2020. Whether or not Phommachanh can provide that spark remains to be seen, but his addition creates competition at the most important position on the field.

****in **** the opposing coaches in Athlon.


Opposing Coaches Size Up Georgia Tech: Coach 1: Honestly, it's almost impossible to see a way in which Geoff Collins survives this season. Every good player on defense is gone or in the portal. The best player they've recruited is going to be starting at Alabama. They have a conference schedule that’s tough on its own and a nonconference slate that looks like it was designed to get this guy fired. Coach 2: Three years in, coaches are beginning to question what the plan was on offense. The transfer QB will be a better fit for the new scheme. Chip Long knows what he's doing, but it's a really bare cupboard. The problem is, you can still see the transition out of the triple option on their tape from the end of last year. Coach 3: They've recruited a bunch of guys that other staffs think are overrated. That’s fine, you have a difference in evaluations, but they aren't a development program either. Coach 4: They had one of the worst secondaries I've ever seen last year., and all those guys are gone, so maybe so maybe that is a positive move? The bigger problem is that the guys up front who could help are gone, too, so they're going to need multiple unknowns to step up if they're going to do anything. Coach 5: The failure here has been recruiting. It's been the exact thing he made such a big deal about in the first place, recruiting Atlanta talent to stay in Atlanta. They're as much of a non-factor on legit talent now as they were under Paul Johnson.

It's hard to disagree with any of them.

1) The schedule is tough, a lot of talent left, the assistant coaching changes are a desperation move to save C******' job. It can work (See Dave Doeren 2019-2020) but it isn't likely.
2) Patenaude was way in over his head. His offensive gameplans were "try a bunch of things and see what works" and most of the time it didn't work and the team was too far behind to catch up most times.
3) Who has C****** developed in his three years?
4) Not wrong on either point.
5) C****** started strong on recruiting but the good talent hasn't stayed so the hits are there. Simply put, C****** is going to have to make do with less this year and his job is on the line.

Makes me wonder which one of these was Narduzzi and Dabo?

Based on what I saw on today, Ole Miss whipping Collins this isn’t working, and it isn’t going to work if this is what the Collins era has resulted in. I wasn’t expecting the team to be in a place to beat playoff-caliber Clemson or Georgia, or even to win the division against clearly talented-but-flawed UNC and Miami teams. I was expecting this program to be in a place where they could score and compete and lose small. Today looked a lot like the 45-0 loss to VT in Season 1. This is year Four, it’s over. It’s just a matter of time at this point — we’re in the endgame now.

All I can think of as I shake my head is the audacity of Geoff Collins at demeaning Paul Johnson’s accomplishments as our Head Football Coach. He actually thought good marketing would provide better results on the field than great Coaching.

Over their past four games against Power 5 opposition, Collins’ Jackets have been outscored 183-10. After three full seasons under Collins, Tech still doesn’t do anything well. Whatever he’s doing, it’s not working. It’s not working to the extent you can’t imagine it ever working. Even the two-plus years of Bill Lewis weren’t this bad. IMHO Paul Johnson’s Tech teams always had Paul Johnson’s offense, we had hope! I hope they go after Jamey Chadwell , Shawn Clark or Jeff Monken!

I laugh a little and quickly delete anything emailed to me from the athletic department.
