My memory is fading a bit, but I am sure of this: that Nix was actually only given full control (at least 90% control with CCG giving input) in the '06 season. He was allowed to be called OC a couple years prior but was not given control because CCG felt he wasn't ready. He did feel that he...
I would not disagree that CPJ has been better overall than CCG's first 6 years. What I'm questioning is whether CCG's future could've been comparable to CPJ, and my arguments for believing it could've been are the significant change in culture and recruiting and that all we needed to fix was...
I agree with two-thirds of your argument. I agree that CPJ is great and his offense brings an inherent advantage. I also agree that this is definitely better for GT when recruiting is an issue (as it normally has been). But, what if the CCG-Giff Smith GT program actually recruited...
I'm an admitted CCG apologist. I love CPJ and think DRad knocked that hire out of the park. I was very disappointed with CCG's firing, and hiring CPJ was one of the few hires that I could get on board with. Feel very fortunate that GT was fortunate enough to get CPJ as our coach. CCG was my...
True, #40 did disproportionate damage to us - especially from the backside. I've seen CPJ call a WR reverse to combat this over-zealous flow from the backside. I'm not sure why it wasn't called this time, but perhaps it was because he thought we should be able to win this game without that and...
Taking away the long hair, he looks and has mannerisms in the interview so much like CTR. Good looking player too. Might have gotten a steal with him - pair him with the other two LB's in his class and who we've already got committed for next year and we're looking at that position possibly...
The play where Coach West (I think) and CPJ are both pointing ... I think they're point at exactly what you were pointing out on that play. They were pointing at the guy who came in unblocked to make the tackle. I couldn't tell as much with CPJ, but it seems to me that West is pointing at the...
Man, some of those near-misses in the first half were huge (errant pitch to JJ, wrong-way-Qua). Those would've been TD's (especially the one to Qua) or would've been very big plays which likely would've set up scores. Would've blown it open a lot earlier.
Kirvonte ran hard the first few...
Duke has been a decent to good team every year under Cutcliffe (he's a pretty darn good coach imo). I wouldn't be surprised to see them be anywhere from 6-6 to 10-2. Kind of like us, honestly. Their margin for error is small, but they can be a good team. I'd put us ahead of them over the...
I agree. The one on Branch could've gone either way and doesn't irk me that it wasn't called. The one on Anree is pathetically bad and should be enough to get the ref that missed it some sort of corrective action (even if just getting it pointed out to him in a teaching session).
Some things...
I was telling my wife when she went to bed that this was the best I'd ever seen us look in a season opener.
Tennessee is now equal with Ugag and the NE Patriots as the luckiest bunch of SOG's in football.
The last play call by CPJ was perfect. To go for two was 100% the right call and gave us...
Since there are infinitely many shades of gold (in my belief system), then the probability of getting it "right" is zero. Or, you could just think of it as getting it right would be a miracle. Also, the number of shades that have been seen is finite; the number of shades that have yet to be...
I'm definitely a fan of adidas apparel. The golf pants (wear them to work almost every day, climacool or something like that) feel like you're wearing nothing. And, they make them in a 35 waist - 34 too small, 36 too big, I'm like goldilocks in a 35.
Some of the polos are nice too - got a...
Anytime I've seen Kagawa in games/scrimmages, he's been highly productive (perhaps more than a starter). He doesn't look the part quite as much as some, but it has seemed to me that he can play it.
I think this is the most important and least considered point of the whole thing. The decision to enforce the rules even on the most impactful player on the team probably just made an important impact on the lives of 104 other players (and maybe more than that if we take fans into...
