[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 415343, member: 630"] His whole body of work is not 10 years. The first reason is that recruiting is the most important task in being a head coach. His success or failure the first 2 years (at least) is due in large part to his predecessor's recruiting efforts--or lack thereof. The second reason is that in comparing coaches, you have to consider what they inherited. O'Leary inherited the Lewis mess. Curry inherited a program that was an even bigger mess. Johnson inherited arguably the most talent ever assembled at GT. Going back to Curry, and comparing Johnson's FBS record with other coaches after the first two years, he comes up way short as compared to Ross and O'Leary, and about the same as Curry. I'll ask you this simple question: His FBS record his first two years was far, far better than his FBS record over the last 8 years. Why? Don't start with the "ACC is better" stuff. It did not become miraculously better between 2009 and 2010. The reason is apparent, but the Johnson apologists won't admit the reason. Back to the OP, I don't know if the extension was a good thing or not. The actual terms of the extension have been mysteriously absent from public view. I don't believe that Johnson should have been terminated after last year, and an extension was therefore in order. If it does not increase the buyout, then I am OK with it. However, I'll bet that it does. [/QUOTE]
