The three years prior to Kornblaugh, the lack of recruiting was starting to show. As I stated, give Pete(r) Head his due...he did a good job of coaching and won some close games. I was really surprised when we lost the game Nord's senior year. However, that team never recovered from the demoralizing loss (with many key injuries) to FAMU just before the BC.
Then came the two years with Kornblaugh when it was obvious that the talent level at GSU was down. You missed my point...Yes SU had Jacoby, but there was no comparison. Jacoby was a transfer from LaTech that Pete(r) Head brought in becuz Orlando wanted someone to eat pizza with. But at least he could play. Kornblaugh was a 26 year old that no one else wanted and GSU started when the projected starter broke his arm... there was no one else around (i.e. Bad recruiting). The second year he started becuz Hayes (Transferred from SUcks) was not eligible.
No attempt to knock Coach Robinson, but those years (after Nord's senior season) were not the typical Eddie Robinson teams. Discipline had slipped (not so much because of Coach Robinson but because of deadweight on the staff). Just telling it like it is!
Then the Doug Williams years! Year one, Doug almost pulled off the big upset. However the depth wasn't there to get the job done. Year two, despite a big lead at half we simply blew it. The lack of a running game, a key drop of a touchdown, bad field goal kicking, against a veteran talented SUcks team (that kicked your azz twice in the same season) proved our undoing. In year 3:
Plain and Simple...DOUG NEEDED HIS AZZ WHIPPED! He got too caught up in the emotion of the game and got off to a bad start.
Some say the three week layoff hurt...Bullisht, SUcks was off the same period of time. Of all the years, the best team didn't win last year. But that's life. However, you and I both know that as soon as we (starting with this year) kick off in the jags azz, the Nation fans and Pete(r) Head will be gone faster than a bowl of Mamma Jag's Chitlins! </font>
