I’ve become convinced that if the completion percentage is worse than about 50%, the offense becomes one-dimensional because you miss too many of the big plays in the passing game once the completion percentage starts dropping into the mid-forties.

It'll never work. Not enough passing. :)

Don’t know if they still run this, but it is a quarters based coverage intended to allow for safe blitzes and providing for a 9 man front. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/michigan-state-oregon-pat-narduzzi-defense-breakdown/

Maybe, maybe not. In the past CPJ has said that he does not give QB's the option to audible from a run play to a pass play, or vice versa. The reason why was that some QB, when given the choice, would always audible to the pass while others would always audible to the run.

I don't think we'll have to worry anymore about needing to simply the defense. From on the press conference it sounded like CPJ was looking for someone who wasn't going to complicate things and who had a scheme where the players could easily get lined up and ready to play. He also said that...

A guy that has demonstrated proficiency at QB in high school and who is 6'0" 200 lb (give or take) with good speed and a good arm has the collegiate football world as his oyster. Every team wants QB like that. Those guys generally go to a team where they can throw 30+ passes a game. Someone...

I do not know how the recruiting sites actually assign stars to players, but I suspect that fundamentally the idea is something like this: Successful collegiate teams are successful due to coaching and acquiring good players. Acquiring good players means being able to evaluate high school...

The new hires were initially a mix of 3 and 4 stars. But since committing to GT, they've become a mix of 2 and 3 stars.

March 2019, give or take a month.

There may not have been any bellyaching at the time and at the time giving Hewitt a big contract might have been appropriate. What wasn't appropriate, however, was agreeing to a contract with guaranteed money that automatically renewed. The AD should have known that was an inherently bad idea...

Not humorous, but something could happen: Delta Airlines Stadium at Coca-Cola Field presented by The Home Depot.

I'm excited about the new defense. I liked what I heard at the introductory press conference. I'll be doubly excited when I see it able to prevent the opposing team from scoring with under two minutes left in the half. It has been quite frustrating to know that the only way to win a one...

Some of the contracts are like that. CPJ's contract is like that. However, the base is like 80%-90% of the maximum possible compensation. It's really not too different than most people's compensation structure, aside from the amount of money involved. Most people get a base amount and a...

The combined basketball coach outstanding buyout balance is something like $1.3M. The $7M would have been the total owed when Hewitt was dismissed. The combined annual payment is about a $1M or so. Gregory's will be paid off in March and Hewitt's the March after that. It'll be nice when they...

Does anyone know if only coaches go on the road to meet with recruits or can it be anyone on the staff? I suspect anyone could go to games and evaluate players from the stands, but I'm not sure if only the coaches can actually contact the players in person.

The coaching staff for GT: hc/oc Johnson qb/bb Candeto ab/stc Owens wr Preston ol_1 Sewak ol_2 West dl Pelton s McCollum dc/lb Roof cb Speed stc means special teams coordinator. For the extra assistant coach, I wonder if it would be best to hire a linebackers coach and let Roof focus only...

This is my understanding as well. Per an ESPN article in March 2016, at that time Hewitt was owed $2.7M and Gregory was owed $1.3M. A ballpark estimate of the amounts remaining as of today would be $1.2M for Hewitt and $200k for Gregory.

That requires a very good offense. The conversion percentage has to be high enough to make it worthwhile and the defense needs some ability to defend a short field. In some years, the GT offense can do it. This past year was not one of them. Certainly, the GT defense struggled mightily in...

I think the issue isn't understanding it but having enough film time and practice repetitions to make it second nature. This applies to the coaches too. They need time to watch practice film, but that may not be possible if they have to devote time to developing game plans, watching recruiting...

That seems to be the case. It sounds like program needs about another dozen staffers, everything from recruiting specialist to QA analyst to water boys. And facilities apparently need some help to. The impression I got from CPJ on a radio show is that you need to be doing some sort of...
