GT is getting serious about athletics.
The hardest part has always been having the right President. Cabrera is the right President.

Quote:Long before season, Georgia Tech president found football performance ‘worrisome’
About a year ago, Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera sang the praises of then-athletic director Todd Stansbury. Up for his annual performance review in February 2022, Cabrera affirmed Stansbury for his leadership of the athletic department throughout 2021 – as the forces of the pandemic, the transfer portal and the rule changes that permitted athletes to be compensated for their name, image and likeness unsettled the world of college athletics.
“I thank you for leading the program throughout this time of transformation and doing so without accruing losses or increasing our outstanding debt – a result not many programs achieved this year,” Cabrera wrote.
There was one particular issue that Cabrera raised in the annual performance evaluation, dated Feb. 24, 2022 and obtained through an open-records request that was made Sept. 27, 2022 and received Feb. 10. (By state law, University System of Georgia sports programs are required to respond to records requests within 90 business days.)
“My biggest concern this year was our poor performance in football, which is worrisome given its outsized impact on our reputation, student and alumni engagement, and the revenues of the entire program,” Cabrera wrote.
Cabrera’s concern with then-coach Geoff Collins’ team, and his raising it with Collins’ boss, speaks to his decision to dismiss both the coach and AD after the Jackets began the 2022 season in calamitous fashion. Cabrera was quite willing to credit Stansbury for the many successes achieved by the Tech athletic department in 2021, such as the strong seasons of several teams, Jackets athletes’ academic performance and Stansbury’s fundraising and budgeting efforts. But, months before the start of the fateful 2022 season, Cabrera’s assessment of the football team – and its potential impact – made clear that he placed ultimate responsibility for the program with Stansbury, who late in the 2021 season affirmed Collins as “my man.”
“Since the change in coaches and system three seasons ago our results have been consistently poor, with a 9-25 overall record,” Cabrera wrote. “While it is reasonable to expect a leadership and system change to impact performance, the last three years have produced the worst three-year record since we joined the ACC forty years ago. Clearly you cannot control the outcomes of specific games, but these numbers indicate a problematic trend which, unless reversed, has the risk of damaging the whole athletic program, no matter the successes elsewhere.”

If Brownell gets fired, we're a Robert McCollum FAMU firing away from our 4 wins equating to 4 coaches fired!

His hair being tall makes him look like a totally different person.
He was a bad ass at Arizona.
Congrats to Ga Tech!
