[QUOTE="Lee, post: 620738, member: 786"] Not sure why you called me out specifically. Cheese is essentially giddy about the way the game went and going out of his way to undermine anything the new staff is going. It’s clear his allegiance is greater for CPJ than it is GT. I’ve said nothing about you. All I did was prove how ignorant his post was yet again. He never responds which means he either knows he’s wrong, but won’t admit it or got tired of being called out and ignored me. Either way is fine by me. But since you called me out specifically, I’ll respond. I’ll start by saying that I was a huge supporter if PJ when he was hired. So much so that I bet a Bama friend of mine that we would get to a National Championship game before they did with Saban (clearly wrong on that one. Was 22 at the time). PJ started losing me when he told Vad something like: “don’t plan on ever doing that again”after the 4 td pass game against Duke in whatever year that was. Ironically (or not) this is one of the last times we beat Duke. This started me thinking that his offense and perception as an “option genius” trumped winning. He didn’t officially lose me until 2017. It just seemed like his ego never went away and only got worse, he valued “his offense” more than winning and his total apathy towards recruiting just turned me off. As for the new coach, I don’t plan expressing my distaste for him because I’m not hoping he fails like some. I am for GT. Have been since I was about 5, was when I put on the uniform (different sport), and will be until I die. I want what’s best for the program. If you, or anyone else didn’t think it was time for a change, then you weren’t paying attention. The man himself knew it was time and quit (which I’m thankful for). This does not mean I will not question things that the new coach or anyone on staff do. Quite the opposite. I was very frustrated with how long Oliver stayed in the game last Thursday.
