[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 410717, member: 2175"] I followed Johnson some at Navy, and was excited when Tech hired him. Others know more about him obviously. TV sideline shots, newspapers and message boards is all I know of the man. Given that, I still wonder: what part of Paul Johnson says "quitter"? I haven't seen it. I have seen him on the sideline late in games, trailing and still fighting to get back in the game against the odds, and sometimes winning. I have read about some of his halftime tirades, particularly the classic blistering in his first Georgia-GT game with the good guys down 28-12, awaiting the fork because they were done. They decided fighting Georgia was easier than fighting Johnson and came back to win my favorite grudge game of all time. It is a long way around the barn to say Johnson believes in what he does and he is not going to quit. He won't run. It is not in the man's DNA. He will be punching. That's why he's perfect for GT, and I can accept that sometimes difficult personality -- let's admit it -- and his sometimes petulant and churlish nature. [/QUOTE]
