I don't think anything can be done right now. The Boosters and Powers are aware of the situation and have either already decided their solution or will so soon. There is nothing we can do at this time. I suspect, CPJ will be here and coach next season. He is going to get paid for it whether he...

George O’Leary took over from Lewis in the last three games of the 1994 season. He lost all three games to Clemson 10-20 (5-6); Wake Forest 13-20 (3-8); and UGA 10-48 (6-4-1). Tech scored 33 and the opposition 88. George coached the next two years (1995-1996) without Ralph Friegden. The...

TheSilasSonRising: Thumbs up, this is the only solution to recruiting, filling the seats, satisfying the fans, and satisfaction in the locker room.

O'Leary's defenses were horrible! If he did not have the Fridge to bail him out on offense, his record would be on the negative side of Hades. I often used the phrase in favor of the Fridge, "He aint my brother, he is just heavy". I am sure you remember me using that phrase on the Hive. I and...

Whiskey_Clear: Even though I am 78, my eyesight is still pretty good. I watch their games on TV when they are on, and that is pretty often. Also, it becomes obvious when you look at the scores. What is your excuse for trying to say my observations are bad. Have you done all the things you asked...

If so, we could sue the AJC. They are one of the worst media outlets against Tech and the ACC in favor of UGA and the SEC. They slant all articles to favor UGA and the SEC, and to slur Tech and the ACC. The one thing I cannot understand about any Tech fan is why they would subscribe to the AJC.

Klaus: You may be right, that is why I left the little caveat about his recruiting at the end of the reply. I have heard one rumor about Hugh Freeze, but dismissed it until I see more smoke. That is one advantage of coaching in the SEC, someone can pay the players. Of course, we have had a few...

Clemson has a good offense, but they do not have a great defense. They are similar to UGA, they have some good athletes on defense, but they do not have a good defensive coordinator.

Most of the time, all problems are due to lack of good coaching. The teams which keep all mistakes down to a small percentage, the results are most always due to the coaching and the mindset of certain members of the team. Fundamental tackling, blocking, etal, is also due to good coaching...

I am glad for Dabo. I have read part of the history of his childhood and growing up. He had a rough time and persevered taking care of his mother. He understands people and hard times. I am sure all of his players really love and appreciate him. I am sure he treats his players well and they play...

I watch about every game that comes on TV and have for years. If you watch the good kickoff returners, most of them look for an open space, turn on the burners and never slow or stop for a sidestep. It is strictly straight ahead speed. Then watch those that do not return kickoffs well, they try...

I certainly am not in the stream of inside information. All of my assessments are strictly from years of watching this type stuff over and over again, plus the things I hear from fans and boards. However, history keeps repeating itself. My guess is that some of this information is correct and...

flounder: I remember them being tried a few times, but it was with the wrong kickoff return system. The system was not set up for their speed; it was set up for the old wedge or mass type of blocking at some point on the field, and they were required to follow the wedge or the mass blocking...

Billyho55: I am glad for O'Leary's success at UCF, but hope we never bring him back to Tech.

Why Bostic and Zenon, if it is true. It appears obvious to me. One of the biggest attributes to have in football is speed, and both Bostic and Zenon have plenty. Most likely both of them were recruited by some of the lesser schools who knew they had a chance to make a big impact in their system...

I am not optimistic, but I can see that a change in quarterbacks might have a good effect on the whole system. Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, it has happened a lot of places and Tech is not immune to players not giving their best becasue they have no confidence in their leader on...

The win was good for football in general and to prove again that other teams are just as strong as the ACC teams. On another reply above, I hear this same occasional remark, "Saban could not win at Tech". You are correct, he could not win at Tech, but that is not the point. Saban can win, and...

Did Thomas play the option in High School? If so, then he should have some aptitude for it. He is supposedly quick and fast. We will soon know if he fits the position. The few times I saw him this year, he appeared to be quicker on his decisions. Time will tell.

I have decided to refrain from entering any additional posts or replies regarding Paul Johnson and the Tech situation. I am sure the big boostes are totally aware of the entire situation and will handle it as they are the only ones who really matter in this situation. They will either decide to...

It is alright if a coach is quiet, if he asserts authority when needed. It is still not bad to walk lightly and carry a big stick. In my analysis, I have Strong as the best candidate, but wondered how he would last if the fans did not take to him at Texas. However, Briles lost a little luster...
