    I've been a Gator fan since 91...... I've never seen a defense this bad.... this is beyond pathetic

    Hmm, the article I posted says

    “the official vote had not yet been taken. When it was, the count was 11-0 to keep the 140 Rule.”

    I guess I believe the Atlanta Journal-ConstItution over orageandbluevictortious.weekly.com.

    Would be great if Toney was demoted to safety coach/co-DC and Collins comes in as DC with play calling abilities. Then maybe Toney can get a look again when Collins promotes out.

    That allows our D to be better and keep toneys recruiting. The recruits really like him.

    Would be a good fit for him, honestly. He could elevate that program back to being mid tier ACC with the occasional competing for a division and they'd be ecstatic. Recruiting expectations and fan expectations are low there and he already lives in GA.

    Ga Tech is a very difficult place to recruit to without adding a poor recruiting head coach to the mix. I have to disagree on this one....especially if he brought Grantham along.

    Hire Collins immediately as DC. Our defense would improve (can't get much worse honestly). Let Toney do safety's or whatever he (thinks he) is good at. If he is a good recruiter then keep him but his coaching hasn't impressed me.

    Not sure that’s what it is. Doesn’t he live at Reynolds Plantation @ Lake Oconee now? Later in the comments someone said they thought they saw him on a flight from ATL to Nassau last Sun. He responded and said yes, it was him. He was likely returning.

    Logistics say that’s optimistic. Bringing in Collins as an off-the l-field consultant/analyst would work though.

    I would like to see Collins come in as a D analyst right away. Don't forget that Raymond is the other Co-DC so you have to account for that.

    Why do any ex head coaches take analyst positions anywhere?

    Well Saban has more cachet than Napier to attract these rehabilitating coaches.
