Great to see CPJ up there singing along too. I wish the camera had been able to show who all was up there.
Good summary article by Ken.

OK, for the CPJ folks that well, don't like him, stop reading. I have this feeling that he is going to be around the Tech program for a while. Beyond the success at Tech, I think he really loves the school and loves his players. I hope he never coaches again and finds a place at GT.

I don’t get how you don’t like CPJ. Do I think it was time for a change? Absolutely. However, CPJ is an incredibly talented coach and a great person. When he had the right players, that offense was one of the most entertaining offenses in the nation to watch. You could just see the other team slowly slip into depression as we death marched them down the field over and over. Had he been the HC in the 60s and 70s, we would probably have two or three more national championships right now.

And, not surprisingly, the news of a moving memorial service to a wonderful young man is no more.

I think you misread what @Southpawmac posted. Sounds to me like he DOES like CPJ and was telling those who don't like him to stop reading what he had to say.

Seriously guys. Not the thread for this.
Paul was their because HIS former player has passed away.

This was not about Paul, like him or not.

I wonder whom we could contact at Tech about putting the entire memorial service online somewhere. I would LOVE to see it.

I asked friend at GTAA about it. He said they wanted to check with the speakers given the emotional nature of it before posting any additional video.

BTW, here is another story from the memorial from The Athletic:

Nope. That won't work either. Tried Chrome Incognito. Is there an incognito mode in Firefox?

No stake in the business but the Athletic is well worth the money and that article in particular is worth it on its own.

Agreed. It was hard to not get emotional reading this article.

Really good job by Tori.

I think you are wrong he will be around much. Agree he loves his players and always will.
