    Where are we now?

    You know Fridge ran a ton of option, right?

    Anyone else just really happy?

    I think Dabo revived Clemson with his enthusiasm. He’s not slick, he’s enthusiastic and tireless. I really do like the hire, but I want a Dabo, not a Butch Jones.

    Were you not at Clemson 2011, or VT 2009? Or VT 2014? No? Or do those not count?

    Moving On

    See, I disagree. I think the legacy is important. In my opinion, Paul Johnson was the perfect coach for GT at the time. And maybe the time has come to move on, but I would be thrilled to hire a PJ protege to succeed him. The thing is, Georgia Tech is a unique school. I like that it’s...

    Moving On

    What’s really amazing is that we won 7 or 8 games this year with essentially no passing offense. A lot of teams would have just folded. We got it done with what we had.

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    Yeah, but if we want to compete with a Georgia for the elusive preseason Natty, we gotta get better in the recruiting rankings...

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    Yes, I do. Straight dope. Offense has not been our problem. If Monken can put together a decent defense, and maintain our level of productivity on offense, then yeah, we could win it all.

    How does Army do this?

    That’s a great question! To answer I want to first talk about why the option is different from what most big schools run. Winning football games is about dictating the terms of the contest to be about whatever aspect of your team is better than the other team. If you have a great run defense...

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    Unlike all those 9 and 10 win seasons we had before CPJ?

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    Monken is the best candidate, in terms of pedigree and track record. But we don’t want another “option coach.”

    Temple football board seems to think Collins is headed to GT: https://247sports.com/college/temple/Board/104514/Contents/Collins-offers-no-comment-on-job-openings-125789767/ I actually like this.

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    I’ll bite. I think the pros of Collins are his reputation as a recruiter, his roots in Georgia, and his track record at Temple. I’ll throw this in too. I love the option, and I love what it does for a school like Tech. But if we’re not going to hire an option guy like Monken or Bohannon, I’m...

    Potential Head Coach Hires

    Whatever. I’ll believe we have the cash for that when I see it. We paid CPJ $3M as head coach AND offensive coordinator. I like Nate Woody, but we got him partly because that’s who we could afford. If we have to start paying an OC separately from the head coach, we’re not going to be...

    How does Army do this?

    Yes. And they’re all option offenses. People who want us to abandon the option must think we’d be Clemson or Bama if we just ran their style of offense. Folks, we will never compete on a regular basis for the athletes Clemson and Bama get every year. Never. Remember Justin Thomas, how they...
