looks like he might be joining Johnson and Monken with a first year of misery.

We are going to disagree on your premise. When the kid "quits" his school -- and for pete's sake, transferring is what half our college students do before they ever get a degree , me included -- he doesn't quit on his contract at all. In fact he adheres to it by a) sitting out a year as the...

Thoughtful.

You seem to doubt it is an upward move. But keep in mind Monken made the "promotion" on his way to apparently resurrecting Army's football, and Cook would get to actually be in charge of an offense and be on the game sideline calling the plays. This could be a very good move for him considering...

So coaches can "quit" on their teams, but because they are "different" it is hunky dory? And where on God's green earth did you come up with something so judgmental as being an utter failure at everything in the future if you transfer in college? ? Lighten up. Take a deep breath. It seems you...

Green. And exactly what is the source we so casually use to assign reasons for a transfer? Was anybody in such a meeting? Is Johnson blabbing? Is Philpott blabbing? Or are we simply assuming we know something when we don't have a clue? Shoot, maybe the kid decided he didn't like Atlanta traffic.

Nobody gets five yards on every single carry. Nobody.

Do I recall incorrectly, or this not Candeto's second tour at Tech? Somewhere I recall he was discharged as a Navy pilot for an undisclosed medical problem, Johnson hired him maybe as a GA, and then he went to a small school as HC and back to Tech? I once had a HS principal who was a carrier...

If he had made that kick the last game of the year would be the Harrison Butker Canonization Day.

That's the Chad Morris offense that Watson runs so well. Just straighten up and get it off within two counts. With the right receivers it is very hard to slow down, and when you bring up safeties to help out they will step back and go long.

It will be a real bummer if he can't kick extra points.

Gets a bit excited, does he?

Harrison Butker will leave Georgia Tech as a legend and the standard to which other kickers are measured. Not particularly for accuracy, or number of FGs for scoring since this offense limits those, or his kickoffs. Georgia 2014 and Georgia 2016 might get him a statue out there, or his name on...

I don't understanding it except getting more mature and stronger, but remember Butker was not a reliable end zone kicker for two years or so. So maybe ST ought to cinch it up next season.

The answer is blindingly simple: we need to schedule all our games in November.

My son's department had the phones removed from their cubbyhole offices. To save money. I did not make that up. Betcha they get dinged on reviews for not being available to students and parents,. (The latter actually being a good thing probably.)

Well, as to the last point: I don't have a problem with it. It seemed even handed to me, but I have always granted wide latitude. Often I don't like it, but we all survive such unpleasantness, and actually I don't have to read it. As we can see on the board, a lot of us disagree with a lot of...

I have a son who is a college professor. Over the years he has come to appreciate college sports. Why? The games have a score and there is accountability at the end, you can see the results, and the coaches who perform get paid for it. In academia it is all subjective and merit has almost...

Try this: Johnson left for presumably better opportunities. The players leave for better opportunities. Period. So why do we whine and complain about a perceived lack of commitment, accountability, world without end, amen? He got more money. They want playing time, and they are going to make a...

The schools didn't transfer, he did., and the real argument is whether Paul Johnson is worse off or better off. I don't argue he should or should not change schools. But this business of coaches targeting students for what they do themselves is hypocrisy. A coach isn't worried about...
