    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    Yes Whiskey, we have to... He has now clearly demonstrated that his offensive system "can" win at any level. He has also ramped up recruiting. He has earned the opportunity to finish the job. We will have more disappointing days I'm sure, but I'll take my chances with our Coach... I believe...

    What needs to happen for you to want to keep CPJ?

    Guys, seriously, it would be certifiably insane to not retain our coach.... pure irrational nuttiness. Consider these things: Performance that is on a clear upward trajectory, recruiting upward trajectory, and the built in challenges that we have, and the manner in which our coaches and...

    Big time win today playing big boy football.... Don't let ANYBODY try to downgrade this effort today with any kind of "well our QB got hurt" BS. Clemson is loaded with 4-5 star talent top to bottom.... they got out coached by our staff and out played by our players. Period. Dominating...

    Gameday !!!

    I'm with you brother... Fired UP... this team is so easy to pull for... and the best thing is, win or lose tomorrow I'm gonna be just as proud of 'em.... just because I know they are going to fight for us all the way to the end. Really excited for this game.

    Favorite quote from NCSU board...

    Agree with this... Our Band is an important part of the GT "Team"... They provide the Sound Track for the drama that plays out each year on fall Saturdays... I've been to a few road games over the years where the band wasn't there... made everything out of place... bad bad mojo... any time our...

    Coastal Chaos--We cannot win a tiebreak

    That's a lot to work through...thanks for doing it and thanks for sharing it..! Of course I'd love to go to ACCCG game and win it but I'm not gonna let our dim prospects bring me down... I'm enjoying this team and I'm very encouraged for our future.... Very fun season!!

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    ...and let me go ahead and say.. the results of our next two games will have ZERO impact on my feelings about my thoughts above... given our D-line challenges this year, and the fact that we are now getting additional admin support for recruiting, we are ALREADY in bonus territory for this...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    At this point I can't even imagine not doing whatever is required to retain our coaching staff for at least the next 3-4 years... Honestly, it would be a most foolish move for us to play coy with our current staff regarding their future. Not only would we put our current continuity and momentum...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    It feels like we're building some continuity in the program... feels right to me. Assuming we continue to ramp up our recruiting to a place where we have a top 30-35 defense we can win... this offense is legitimate... at ANY level. Regardless of the outcome of Clemson and Georgia, our program...

    GT - Nc State Post game thread

    Outstanding.... so very very proud for our men... Days like this are paydays for the countless hours of lifting/running/film study. Recruiting getting stronger and stronger... These road wins are particularly sweet!!!!!!! We want that 5th NC... Playing like this leads to recruiting wins>>>>...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    Somehow my comment got embedded within your quoted comments Bruce Wayne Not sure how that happened but my comment said "Holy Marketing prowess Batman... Outstanding!!!" :-) Your ideas are excellent... relatively inexpensive with a high degree of some success... Love it!

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    You make an interesting point AE87... Many of our sidewalk fans are "legacies" from family members or some other natural connection with Tech, but many are just attracted to our style of play, or support Tech because it's a local, home state team, or they are simply answering the Institute's...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    Honestly Spandex, those last few games do feel as daunting as they did. Those two teams are significantly ahead of us today recruiting wise and we "should" lose those 2 games all things being equal. The main thing going on for me right now is that I am confident that, win or lose, our team will...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    You're probably right Boomer... Discussions about retention and/or extensions for coaches are best saved for off season... My comments are more about my personal observations of our coaches and players, though I guess one could reasonably glean from those comments that I will be supportive of an...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    That's a great point Matt... Hadn't really thought about that. The cohesiveness of the locker room surely speaks to respect of the coaching staff and the character of the men on our team. I think we are doubly blessed to have Derrick Moore in our program... I know he's not a coach per se but...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    Seems like recruiting is the common theme for all of us.... when we consistently recruit as we have this year, especially on defense, I don't have any question about Coach Johnson's ability to hire good coaches and execute a game plan. Even more confident with the coaches making in-game and...

    Friends, let's talk about our Football Coach

    First, I have never been against Coach Johnson. I wasn't against his hiring and I've never been against him being our coach... but something has changed for me this year. I now find myself pro-actively pulling for our Coach and having that feeling of "ownership" and "pride" in Paul Johnson as...

    Thanks Lifsey... You know, we've never been a big ME ME ME Showboat type program but this group has taken "togetherness" and "team" and "professionalism" to a whole new level. Most of us have been around the program for a long time and have a pretty good feel for the mojo and "flow" of our...
