[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 499003, member: 789"] Your post may not be the best one to respond to and this post is meant to be to people, maybe some of our fans in general but here goes: Say what you want about Johnson, but one thing the man isn’t is dishonest or deceitful. If he said he & Stansbury talked throughout the season about him possibly retiring then take it to the bank because that’s what happened. If he said he retired, then that’s what happened. If he would have said “ we reached an agreeement” I could see your point, but that’s not what he said. I dont have the exact words but Stansbury asked him if he was sure he wanted to retire & Johnson said yes. These two guys are not Slick Willy politicians you’ve got accustomed to watching the news or maybe at your workplace where they parse words. These are 2 stand up straight froward guys that say what they mean & mean what they say. I deal with mealy mouthed bastards all the time. They get pissed when I interrogate them and demand straightforward answers from them. I do not know Johnson personally, but I do know people that have been close to him. They have nothing but respect for the man’s honesty & integrity. There are many that should take a lesson from Paul Johnson. The world would be a much better place. Lastly, I’m really not sure is to be gained by demeaning Johnson’s tenure on the Flats. Do some of you think it makes GT a better place or the football program better if you continue your diatribes about how the outgoing coach sucks donkey balls if that is what your opinion of the last decade is? Is that a way to atttact a high quality coach, by attacking the guy retiring that has posted a pretty good record by nearly anyone’s measure particularly given the challenges coaching at GT presents? Wouldn’t a potential coaching hire prefer to come to a school that has celebrated the retiring of one of the best coaches it has ever had? [/QUOTE]
