Dang. Still seems surreal. After all the ups and downs, I’m really gonna miss that cantankerous yet loveable rascal. Thank you, coach.
Exactly what I was thinking. This is a lot of love for a snarky guy like him who recruits don't like and whose players didn't enjoy playing for him.Funny that the perception of CPJ by the Atlanta media was he was not well liked.
My favorite Paul Johnson story: After his team beat Georgia for a second straight time at Sanford Stadium in 2016, officials went to the visiting locker room to present him with the Governor's Cup. They found him staring at the ceiling and asked what he was doing. "Looking for a place for the sign," he said. What sign? "The Paul Johnson visitor's locker room," he replied. "I own this (expletive) place."
Just thought I would add this, read Bradley's article in the AJC, Bradley is an idiot and knows nothing about Tech or football. Says we need to go to a pro system get a pro style quarterback.....exactly who have we ever had,,,,,Nesbitt, Shawn Jones, Joe Hamilton,,,,we have never had a pro style QB. Goose may have been the closest.

There is a reason they call him bark madly.He only says that because he thinks it will help the school in Athens.
I agree. Definitely should be in the hall of fame. Also, I can't wait to hear a unfiltered CPJ interview.Easily

Great post Dr Jacket. I am so happy people like you are posting the truth and showing how the vast majority of us true fans are feeling right now!!!!Paul, thanks for every ounce of yourself that you've given. What a ride, my friend. You brought a ferocity and a set of expectations that, quite ironically, you ended up suffering in comparison to for the last several years. Rest up. You did good for 40 years!! I couldn't be prouder of you, and for you. I am only sad for us. But relieved for you, too.
Since Susan will probably read this, I'd be remiss if I failed to say that we love you with all our hearts. I wish you were here for us to hug right now. You've given the program a fierce support, and have dedicated yourself to his work on the Flats loyally. Can't wait to see you guys next.
