[QUOTE="swampsting, post: 261833, member: 1062"] In 1998, after UMass put up 55 points on a previously unbeaten Georgia Southern team, PJ told the media afterward "I promise you next year we will be better on defense." And they were. They were vastly better. To say PJ "doesn't care about defense" just isn't true. How many times has he started a halftime or postgame interview with "we've got to do a better job of getting them off the field on third down." He has a Tech legend and a good recruiter at DC. Another good friend and one of the better recruiters on staff - McCollum - is on the defensive staff. It's a tough spot to be in if he's contemplating staff changes. PJ is stubborn and he's loyal. He's also a much better guy than the Atlanta media, particularly the talk radio jackwads, paint him to be. We can't go back to the O'Leary days, not with the APR mandates. We've lost to one damn good team, lost to a decent team we should have beaten,lost to a ranked team by handing them two easy scores and crapped the bed defensively against a good UNC offense. We're 5-4, should be 6-3 and likely will be 5-5 because Va Tech is much better than I thought they would be after the coaching change. But I'll take 7-5 this year. Need to drop the hammer on Virginia and go to Athens and not give away the game. They are beatable - even for us. [/QUOTE]
