It’s weird to me that People are blind to the fact that Paul had four seasons without a winning record. 2009, and 2014 was awesome buts it’s not fair to pretend that was the bar set by Paul that was 2 seasons out of 11. 2010-2013 was full of disappointment and a long period of being owned by VT and Miami, and 2015-2018 were some of the wildest seasons ever where we could beat Miami and VT but lost to Duke and Pitt. There was a lot of ups and downs with Paul a lot of seasons where he got a pass or excuses but some fans on here can’t even give Collins 1 season with a pass or excuses.
It’s hard as fans to know what’s really going on.
For the record, GTAA wanted to terminate CPJ after ‘13 but ‘14 happened and they were boxed in. Unhappy, but boxed in. The general view was the experiment didn’t work.
(Note: I personally supported CPJ.)
I also understand he was not well-liked within the AA because he spoke his mind, regardless. I sympathize with this, but he didn’t win many friends internally. A friend at the AA told me no one was sorry to see him go.
Kinda interesting to see how different camps view things.
