PrintIt's hard to look at last night's game with an objective point of view. The end is surely upon this era. And it ends with the sourest of sour tastes. It was painfully obvious which team realized it was on the bubble and which team HAD to win to stay alive. It wasn't Georgia Tech. Last night was an ironic game. The game against the Hokies was the lowest point total the Yellow Jackets have ever mustered under Paul Hewitt. Ironic yes? If you listened to the press conference, it was probably one of the most depressing press conferences you had listened. Sad, but true.
Whatever, we've all thought it long enough, here's the pulse of the Georgia Tech Fanbase...
Time for spring football and baseball

Final Virginia Tech 59, Georgia Tech 43. Not sorry I missed that one, actually. #ACCTRNY

If GT has the NBA talent you assert it has, then wouldn't the right hire, with the proper command of x's and o's, be able to win?

43 points scored truly does make this the nadir of the Paul Hewitt era. It's time for it to end.

The end has surely come. It's been a long, up and down 11 years but the time has surely come. Thank you for your efforts Paul Hewitt. Good luck in the future.

Goodnight, sweet hypnoface
After 11 years it’s time for those eyes to spin off into the sunset.
Because my years of marching band have made me an authority on football.
I know that you guys have stated before that the buyout in his contract is too large to let him go. Do you feel like his suckyness has now outweighed the buyout?
Of course it does and has
But that doesn’t matter if the school doesn’t have the money to pay it. They are currently spending tens of millions renovating the AMC, million are going to Gailey still, and they just gave CPJ a raise. They break even in sports just about every year, so there’s no surplus to buy him out unless the alumi/boosters want to pony up $8.1mil.
Maybe they can negotiate a deal at a lesser price, but Hewitt would be a fool to take it unless he has another job lined up.
"You could spend the next fifteen seconds of your life watching a man and a tiger scream together, or you could be an idiot."
Fact.
