The difference in Renfrow is simply that he wins. He extends drives. Possessions. And at 5-10 or so and maybe 180 pounds, he is the best WR blocker in the ACC. (In one game, I forget against whom but it was while Lawrence was hurt, they ran him in as QB as a possibility. He handed off on the...

I wouldn't worry about this "all-ACC" team. Any "all" team that does not have Hunter Renfrow of Clemson on the first 11 is not "all" anything. And NC State doesn't win anything league-wise, and leads the "all" offensive team? What in the wide world of sports ...?

Why would you think he would come to Georgia Tech? That "stepping stone"can be slick. Hasn't this job killed more than one college coaching career? He did get fired at Oklahoma, you know, and Clemson wore him out -- but more to the point, if everything else negative about Johnson is true, and...

Generally you are on the money. Asking the guy leaving who should replace him is problematic at best. Sometimes you get the outlier though: Bowden suggested Swinney, although the AD at the time had already decided on him.

Boy, aren't you glum today?

I would point out to you without necessarily disagreeing with all of your assessment, that Brent Venables was raging about the same things in a game Clemson won by three TDs, but gave up four scores and 500 yards passing to USC. Generally Clemson is surely considered to be big, fast and strong...

One thing to be down on a guy but sledgehammers are not really productive. Nor particularly accurate.

Good questions because at least on the surface the gravy train for TV money is slowing down. I don't know the numbers but ESPN has lost a bunch of cable viewers and frankly, GT football is the only reason I get cable. Apparently I am not alone.

I believe but am not certain that Swinney's buyout after three straight NC playoff runs, is $35 million. That in a state whose legislature limits the amount of money its university professors can earn teaching summer courses. Think there's an anti-education bias there?

To be clear, I am not in the "fire Johnson" camp. I think sometimes he should get his ears boxed because of his thin skin, but he can coach. But to your proposition, nothing is wrong with it. That was my point. My question is who are you gonna get, because it will not be a name anybody...

Whether alums or fans want to admit it, GT is not a destination coaching job any more. It is an interim step whilst he goes about campaigning for a really good job somewhere. So folks with sugar plums dancing in their heads need to know the first result is: no name coach to Georgia Tech. There...

Ain't it just grand when people are so willing to tell you what you know?

We could have had Namath and Ditka and you name 'em. The stark daylight truth is we were outmanned at every position. Maybe not punter. After resigning myself to another slough, my biggest complaint is that those slugs at OSU are back in the race for one of the four spots. Harbaugh showed...

Good to see the passion frankly. Johnson flung out a couple his own self. Beats what I read in the Raleigh paper about Roof's defense at NC State that week. Gave up some big plays and Roof did a very nice sashay to dump on players. Said they were in the right position -- that is coaching don't...

We will get some yards in the Clemson-Virginia range, and against good defenses it's expected. You don't get your average every game. My concern is simply the lack of an efficient option offense and the one-trick pony reliance on QB running left and QB running right, the occasional FB up the...

If you continue to insist on mixing logic into this thread, you should be banned. It is a football message board and no other explanation is needed.

Doubt there is a football coach in captivity who goes through a season without regrets and second guessing himself. At that point in the season, though, nobody was talking Tech or Pitt for division title. All the talk was Miami -- the real Notre Dame of the ACC because they are crowned just...

It seemed to me that Johnson couldn't make up his QB mind, and neither aspirant helped very much early, and several times our inability to read and execute options was glaring. Couple of times Marshall turned up directly into two tacklers. Must like to get mauled.

Be careful what you wish for. In the ACC right now there is Clemson, and then there is everybody else. It needs to get better in a hurry. Not sure what happened because there were some hirings and the league got better, then backslid. But nationally the reputation has suffered considerable.

Well, yeah. I have to say seeing that Tech is not an option team was the most startling comment I ever saw on this board -- like somebody posting that Paul Johnson won't watch Fox -- since for 10 years it has been an option team, and for 10 years called an option team, and for 10 years opposing...
