As frustratingly inconsistent as his team has been for the past two seasons, the truth remains that few coaches could — or have, at least in the post-Bobby Dodd era — performed better at Tech than he has.
Since that time the academic situation at Tech has only gotten more difficult and competitive, a change that hardly makes winning football games any easier.
