  1. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    2-Light Bulb moments, Gailey will never get Tech over the hump. Athens muck game, David Greene goes out. Tech gets ball inside the 50 about 75 times, Critical last series QB doesn't know it's fourth down. ACC Champ game, 3rd Quarter, T Choice is getting 3 yards before getting to the new line of...

  2. What I'll miss about Tech football … and what I hope to see

    The level of understanding this board has for other offenses is shockingly low. Always looking for a greater level of understanding. Dallas Cowboys run zone blocking all the time. Hat on a hat, push 'em down field, Zeke picks a hole. Works like a champ if your hats are better than their hats...

  3. What I'll miss about Tech football … and what I hope to see

    Fantastic post. I will totally miss Johnson's in game decision making. First ACC game at Boston College, BC driving for a TD before the half. On third down CPJ calls time to see their formation, just like basketball. BC fails, goes for field goal, then he ices the kicker. BC misses the field...

  4. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    Define real comparison. Bobby Ross first two years 2-9, 3-8. I guess your real comparison would be to throw out the 2 non major conference wins each year. So the real comparison is 0-9, 1-8. That second year, the team made great progress, lost 4 games by less than 10 points, killed South...

  5. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    3 coaches, loved Bobby Ross, named my dog after him. Ross was a F O O T B A L L coach. Loved to listen to him talk at TD club meetings. He hated them, got there late, just enough time to wolf down his food. Then talked X and Os. Told a great story once. Ross at Maryland ran a screen inside the 5...

  6. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    Up State, I recollection is Nesbitt requested to be moved to tight end to get on the field. He was not listed as QB when CPJ came on board. Looked back at 2007, his stats were QB with 13 passing attempts, but third leading rusher in yards and carries. Guess he was a Wildcat QB.

  7. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    Yes, we remember things the way we want. CPJ lost to the worst TN team of all time, Tech fumbles the ball on the way to game winning TD. But CPJ was the coach, so it's a loss under his watch. The loss to Wake in ACC Champ. was a final straw game for me. Tech with HOF wide receiver and NFL...

    CPJ went to the Orange Bowl with a team 'loaded with talent', that's pretty funny

  9. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    Alpha Buzz: Totally agree. Improved recruiting, improved defense. Plus special teams should be considerably better. Hopefully similar to Va Tech, Beamer ball days. I could never understand why CPJ did not improve special teams play during his tenure.

  10. Coach Paul Johnson Appreciation Thread

    Many thanks and great memories Coach. One of my favorite memories, that speaks to your straight talk and competitive spirit. Coach Johnson's first year, came and spoke at the Macon Touchdown Club. During questions, a Tech fan meekly asked if Coach could comment on how long it would take his...

  11. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    Hey Knox thanks for the debate. I've never understood the Johnson without Gailey's players thing. Nesbitt was a second string tight end under Gailey. Gailey would not have beaten UGA in anther 10 years. He never had a second team QB ready to play, hamstrung Calvin Johnson's college career with...

  12. The cold hard facts of GT Offense, Defense, Head Coaches

    All: New poster, diehard fan. Reading these posts comparing HC, win percentages, bowl games, ACC titles, appearances etc., it’s interesting to discuss until Collins starts, then we have new topics. Bottom line: GT has enjoyed substantial success three times since 1980’s. Bobby...

  14. How Good Was Coach Johnson at Tech?

    These comparisons of who was better by, win percentage, average wins per season, etc. don't come close to telling the story. No one has mentioned, O'Leary was only good when Ralph was his OC. By any measure. That very well may be true for Ross also, we can't know. After Curry, Tech employed...

  15. 2 Keys to for GT, this year, next year...

    1) Win the turnover battle. If Tech can do that, odds are the offense will score enough to win. GT is perennial top 5 rushing offense, especially when you limit the ranking to Power 5 conferences. Every year, new QB, veteran QB, we are going to run the ball. Less turnovers, more points, less...

  16. This would never happen at UNC or WWUNC-?

    Had to leave the D off, there are Ds at UNC. So what would happen if Mills failed to meet team rules in lovely Charlottesville? A) Give Mills an A+ for taking a test (any test) and 5 credit hours B) Never happen at UNC there are no team rules, except everybody passes C) Already seeking to...
