Paul Johnson left the place with a roster full of triple option players. There weren't any legitimate receivers, or quarterbacks, for that matter.
In the few years that Collins recruited there, he (Collins) tried his best to recruit athletes who could play in a spread offense, but didn't exactly have impact players who could contribute right away.
As a result, it's not surprising that Georgia Tech was a terrible team.
Right now, there are a handful of 4 star players, but most of the roster are middle of the road players. Arguably, their best player, Jahmyr Gibbs, fled the program for the Crimson Tide.
If Al Golden is as shrewd as I think he is, I believe he'll wait for a better opportunity.
Not sure he'd take it...
