  1. Paul Johnson's job

    I remember the story about Mac Tharpe visiting General Neyland asking for a scouting report about North Carolina who GT was going to play in a week. General Neyland couldn't be bothered with Mac Tharpe's request and told him to go talk to Tennessee halfback Bobby Dodd(there was no quarterback in...

  2. Bleacher Report Top 5 Coaches on Hot Seat

    I think he'll be out after three seasons. The only reason Ray Goff lasted as long as he did was there was no internet as we know it and Vince Dooley was his buddy.

  3. Paul Johnson's job

    Ted Roof is my alltime favorite GT defensive player along with Pat Swilling

  4. Paul Johnson's job

    I guess that's why he was head coach of the Auburn freshman football team for 10 years before being UGAG head coach;)

  5. Paul Johnson's job

    That's true Vince Dooley is a great example of that

  6. Paul Johnson's job

    Norm was on Pepper Rodgers Coaching Staff in 1979 and i believe he didn't like Pepper or the things that Pepper had the team doing in 1979 like aerobics

  7. Paul Johnson's job

    Bobby Dodd was a great,great head coach and he was right up there with John Heisman in my mind. I agree with you i could have phrased it better sorry,Vespidae.

  8. Paul Johnson's job

    Too bad the Tech Man idea that Bobby Dodd had in the 1970s didn't work the way it could have.

  9. Paul Johnson's job

    For as great a head coach as Bobby Dodd was he was a poor Athletic Director. He made a bad mistake firing Bud Carson after GT lost 41-18 to Ole Miss in the 1971 Peach Bowl. Bill Fulcher was a poor choice to replace Bud Carson and he couldn't handle the pressure of being head coach which Bobby...

  10. ACC elects to keep current football schedule format

    Do you think there is a chance when the SEC goes to a 9 game conference schedule in the not too distant future that UGAG will try to end the yearly series with GT?

  11. Paul Johnson's job

    GT football would have been very interesting in the 1980s into the 1990s running the Steve Spurrier offense ;)

  12. ACC elects to keep current football schedule format

    Really big mistake by the ACC :( I guess those morons only care about basketball:)

  13. Paul Johnson's job

    Yeah the Bammers hated GT from way back ;)

  14. Paul Johnson's job

    Another one was Bob Woodruff who was head coach of Baylor 1948-1949 and Florida 1950-1959. He was also Tennessee AD from 1964-1985.

  15. Paul Johnson's job

    GT should have named Steve Spurrier(who was a Pepper Rodgers assistant 1978-1979)as head coach in 1980 instead of Bill Curry.

  16. Paul Johnson's job

    The worst mistake GT ever made in my opinion was not naming Steve Spurrier as head coach in 1980 when he really wanted the job.

  17. Paul Johnson's job

    I don't think GT has developed decent internal head coaching talent since Bud Carson succeeded Bobby Dodd in January 1967

  18. Week 6 Football Games

    FSU could very well stumble around enough to probably wind up in the Belk or Russell Athletic Bowl.

  19. AJC- "Johnson sending wrong message."

    The State out of Columbia,South Carolina favors Clemson over it's hometown team South Carolina in a manner similar to the way the AJC favors UGAG.

  20. Paul Johnson's job

    They looked good against Virginia Tech,Florida and Georgia in winning those three games. I'm surprised that CPJ didn't recruit Josh Dobbs more heavily than he did with him being from Alpharetta. He could have easily gotten into GT with him about to get an aerospace engineering degree at...
