Everyone on here pretty much now wants Geoff Collins gone. From talking to multiple high-level sources, some of the people who would be involved in that process in various ways and other sources I do not expect that to happen. The main reason why is the guy who hired Collins. I've had multiple sources confirm what I've reported since the end of last year, the fate of both Collins and ADTS are linked and the move at the AD spot would happen first as I've maintained for a while as well. Stansbury was in the locker room after the game apparently per my sources monitoring things and the vibe is not great right now around the program. I expect a change at both IMO before the end of the year, but that is my informed opinion and an opinion. GT is bleeding money and it is not all Collins' fault. There are a million different decisions and things that have happened to lead to that financial hole. It can be fixed IMO as well, but it will take the right hire(s) to make that happen.
It is a money thing now. GT is bleeding it, attendance is at an all-time low since Bill Curry turned it around and the product on the field is not good enough by any measuring stick.
As far as Collins goes, I've talked to sources on every level who do not expect anything to happen including the people with the juice to make something happen. The people with that juice want
There are three issues, coaching/player development, talent issues at key spots, and in-game adjustments/coaching. The lack of competition and guys playing because of seniority. All three have been issues for four years now as well. The other issue is they just look completely uninterested when the game starts. The team starts so slow each week and that begins with the coaches and team leadership. The chemistry was good going into the season and it withered pretty quickly after the Clemson game unraveled. There is just a general softness right now around the program
The punt blocking issues encapsulate the issue. That is something Collins is hands-on with and the punt got blocked because a guy didn't motion in to protect David Shanahan. It is a simple issue and a lack of attention to detail that keeps killing them over and over and over.
Jeff Sims missed most of his reads today, pulled up on key scrambles, and even missed on some key throws. The lack of competition there is a problem IMO. I thought they should've given Zach Gibson a series at the end as well. The play that exemplified the issue with Sims was actually the run by Jaxson Dart where he trucked Jaylon King for a first down despite his team having the game in hand. It reminded me of Vad Lee's final game against Ole Miss when he knew he was leaving and would pull up on runs in the option game. Sims just is missing the killer instinct and I think that was the major red flag that led FSU to bail on recruiting him when Mike Norvell took over. Something is just off there.
So what happens next? I think Collins could still get fired in the next few weeks, but GT is not Auburn or Nebraska so finances will weigh into the timing of it and whatever is happening with the AD spot will as well.
