You may not have a doubt but don't speak for me. I don't believe that at all, not for a minute. They played lousy, but one can care a lot and still stink the place out. Anybody who has tried to compete knows that because if they played any at all, then it happened. I can remember beating a...

I agree he was loyal to a fault, not only with players, particularly QBs, but with coaches. (I don't see how changing a DC improves your D substantially if all your position coaches are unchanged.) But I don't think he thought Tobias made the offense better consistently. I just can't see any...

Marshall was what Marshall has for two years: a halfback out of position because he can run the ball well. My biggest regret for Johnson is not so much that he went out kind of floundering to find the winning touch again, but that his last two years his signature offense, options on top of...

There is something about beating a dead horse since the whole coaching staff is gone. But I've never figured out why we are willing, mostly, to give a head coach a couple of years to put something together, we argue that coordinators better get it done now. I am not a technician about the sport...

Can't argue too much, except to note that the Minnesota offense had something to do with it. I don't recall a single Swarm poster making any mention of that prior to the game, and when you have a feature back offense in which your featured back is a load, then you are to be reckoned with. I...

Well, in the Quick Lane Bowl, GT ran 44 plays. The quarterbacks kept the ball 31 times. Most of what remained went Bback, a play they actually started running late. But no, it is not unusual for the Abacks to touch the ball four times or less. That's the flaw in the option: often your best...

There is always churn regardless of coach or circumstances. Players who graduate, players who don't get playing time, players who don't like the coach or are not liked by the coach. I just hope the players who don't fit in Collins system but want a GT degree will be respected.

See, right here you get the essential Paul Johnson, just like in an album cover. He needs to call slippants on his grammar, but he is not even shy about jabbing one of his own. And he is right, though. I know I am going to watch this and see if he can slyly slip in there his record against Dabo...

I think they would talk five minutes and adjourn to the nearest golf course.

When are we finally gonna get it? The media created nothing. That is his personality. Was at Navy and anybody going over to a couple of Navy sites when he was hired would have been forewarned it would take some adjustment but mostly those on the other end enjoyed the exchanges. Johnson is...

I don't expect any announcer to hype chopped liver. I expect every announcer to keep track of the play, keep track of the players and the substitutions, and to know enough background on key players to keep it filled in. In short, do their job. It is up to the teams to hype the play. That was a...

ESPN did a horrible job. Period.

Look, the reality is this, even by those of us who think the option offense is the last thinking man's offense: it had its shot in P5 football, and along the way had some great success: Orange Bowls, COY, conference championship, division championships, huge rushing numbers and some startling...

Game certainly. to see the coach? Nah.

Now we know why he coaches and we carp.

I wouldn't argue with much of your argument, but he was hired as a playcaller with "sales" tucked in their among "relations". But no problem. As for attendance or ratings, I do not recall ever even being curious about a coach's last game. How much talking up and down the sidelines can one...

They'd better stand or he would rip their lungs out.

Now, come on. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: when and how did Paul Johnson mistreat the national media? A couple of Atlanta radio bobbleheads got dialed up for their cupidity? (I listened to that radio exchange and what I heard were two guys determined to start a fight, even if they had...

The truth is nobody in Minnesota has a clue about Tech or Johnson, just as you could have said "PJ Fleck" to me all night and drawn a blank.
