Hopefully if GT has to make a coaching change there wont be chaos like at Tennessee!
I will never forget the "fans" booing TW because the wanted Vad. So when I see others posting that TM or any other player should be benched, or Freeman didn't have the proper leadership, etc. it really pisses me off. As I have posted multiple time, I will continue to believe the coaches are putting the best available player on the field.

May be true. But if that’s the best our O can look with the players we have then we are in trouble next year.
Oh I hope so for sure. What I was naming was the scary scenario...if we go 5-7 or worse next year everyone on this board will be calling for a new coach.OR... with another year in the system more of the playbook will be installed and TQM explodes...
The most frustrating thing about Quon, is that his passing got worse.

Agree, but would like a 7-5 year with a 9-3 . I hope we show some ability to win half our games agains uga, vt,clem, miami, unc, and the best of the bottom feeders. Right now it seems very unlikely we can win 2 of 6 from this group. Ouch! Bring on Elin and citadelNot the year to make a coaching change I say we wait till Paul Johnson's contract runs out and unless he puts together three 8+ win seasons in a row we say goodbye

Unfortunately, that is Tech football for the last 40 or so yearsYou may be right. Some of our “best available players” just aren’t as good as the other teams’.

I don't think his passing got worse i think he just stopped playing a 4-8 UT team an FCS team a 5-7 Pitt team and a 3-9 UNC team. after going 5/9 5/7 4/7 and 5/10 (which is all we need because they're all probably first down passes) he went 3/7 5/11 3/13 6/22 2/8 3/13 and 2/9 and 5 interceptions after throwing zero in the first 4. not saying all of that is Taquan, I think Mike Sewak is to blame, but the passing offense as a whole got exposed and teams learned the offense had trouble passing and really just had to stop Kirvonte. in our last 7 games teams just sold out to stop the run and Kirvonte only had 2 100 rushing yard games (one of those was the clemson game were he got almost all of it off 1 run) compared to 3 out of the first 4. we were 3-1 in our first 4 games and 2-5 in our last 7.The most frustrating thing about Quon, is that his passing got worse.

I totally agree. One thing that has confused me is the number of long passes that were thrown this year when compared to short and mid-range. Maybe my memory is failing me but I don’t recall this many deep passes in the CPJ era. Why didn’t we throw more across the middle? Screens? Out routes? Can TaQuon see over the linemen? Are there throwing lanes or is that even a thing in this offense? Even when we were successful, the passing game looked odd.

CPJ addressed that to some degree in one of the radio shows. I can't remember which game, but there were several third and short situations where long passes were made. He said that in those plays(and I assume in many of the situations) the receivers are running option routes. If the DB is playing 8 yards deep, it is a quick pass. If the DB presses, the receiver goes out and either goes deep or turns for back shoulder depending on how the DB plays him. I think in many of the situations you are describing, they didn't specifically call deep routes, that is just what the defense was allowing.
Wasn’t asking because of the firing thought, was just wondering. I know he’s not going anywhere. He will retire as our head coach unless he leaves on his own will to purse another job. Maybe back at Heorgia Southern or somewhere. Could win multiple conference championships with themThink it's 1mil a year so 3mil currently.
He's not gonna be fired you might as well stop wasting thought.
