In my opinion, no, that isn't the reason he was brought in. He was brought in to win as many games as possible. I think many people, and you appear to be one, believe that GT will never get a high number of NFL-type bodies in and CPJ is therefore the best coach for a situation such as ours...

Very true and I didn't mean to insinuate we had. But, if you compare the roster of NFL talent under the previous coaches, we certainly had more then than we currently have.

Sorry but I don't accept that. The team he coached in 2009 had 9 All-ACC first or second team players and Michael Johnson was an All-American....all recruited by Gailey. The previous coach also brought in Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson, 2 of the top receivers in the NFL today. Yes, the...

Fair point, but the flaw in that line of logic still lies with the recruiting. I don't disagree that the "uniqueness" of our offense makes it more difficult to prepare to play us because teams see it so rarely. But if most teams in college and pros are going to a passing offense and you're not...

Boy, did you guys ever derail this thread. :rolleyes:

I don't doubt that. I'm merely casting doubt upon the stat he chose to throw out there to prove his point. I'm not willing to accept that stat at face value of being more effective if we actually did take 3x more plays from under center than we did from the gun. If you're running 3 times the...

It would be more interesting, and more compelling, if we knew how many passes were thrown out of each formation. Note that CPJ says that we completed "more passes", not "a higher percent of passes". My memory, which admittedly can often be faulty, says that we took somewhere in the...

Or, perhaps, just perhaps, this is the real impression that others have regarding our program. I'm not trolling here myself; I swear. But ask yourself this question? Do you think they'd write such an article for the sole purpose of stirring up GT's fans? Or do they perhaps really believe...

Very true. I was thinking about this the other day and wondering about the following: Offensive line injuries are pretty common on all teams. On most teams, they seem to have leg injuries such as knee &/or ankle injuries more commonly than we do at GT. Now, certainly part of that should be...

I agree with you, Eric. I had indeed forgotten about Jemea but that kid was a baller. Not super impressive measurables by an NFL standard and that will likely hurt him in the draft. But that's a kid whom I think ends up not only sticking on an NFL roster but he will contribute. He just has a...

I hope we don't regress, but I can very easily see how we could. For starters, the starter at QB has fewer than 100 snaps under his belt, so despite his all-world athleticism, we really don't know just how he's going to perform versus the Miamis, Clemsons, Virginia Techs, and UGAs on the...

Well, first of all, I'm not suggesting that you don't have oversight of the academics....checks & balances per se. There already is an academic advisor appointed by the Hill who is responsible for this (see my earlier post about Carol Moore's failings @ this job). And APR doesn't have...

Excellent post.

Squints, Although my first statement was in response to a statement you made, I didn't mean my comments to single you out. I just find it frustrating that so many Tech alums have come to accept the "this is the way Tech is, we'll never change" argument. dressedcheeseside, I realize the coach...

Perhaps it is not "us" who have trouble grasping that the game has changed but others who have trouble grasping that the problem is that GT hasn't. No one wants to cheapen a degree from Georgia Tech but the assertion that allowing more exceptions into the school would do so is myopic to the...

I took some of my baseball players to a speed and agility guy about 3 years ago and I found it fascinating to watch how much that guy could help them improve their times. I thought I was pretty good with a stopwatch but he and I both tried hand timing 40's while the kids were also running laser...

Spend some time out there with high school coaches of any sport (football timing 40's, baseball timing 60's) and you'll find the answer. Three or four guys with stop watches...the kid runs, and 4 different values that are often as much as 2 tenths of a second apart. Factor in the natural bias...

Boomer, exactly what I've been saying and I couldn't agree more.

I agree. I think Attaochu will actually have a good pro career because he has that ability to "bend" as he comes around the corner going after the QB. However, I think his standing in the draft will be hurt because of not being able to take part in the combine. If he has a strong pro day @...

Actually, I thought your post was pretty spot on JBR. I thought his point about RB's was fairly accurate as well. Boomer, you point out Orwin and Robbie Godhigh...yet his statement was that we haven't been able to recruit & sign a game breaker in the past 4 years. Both of those were here 5...
