[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 79120, member: 1640"] To state the obvious, it is harder to win at Tech than at some other schools. This is not an excuse for mediocrity, it is just empirically true and needs to be taken into consideration. If we criticize CPJ I just hope we will be fair about it. If you criticize his recruiting you need to be able to show that other Tech coaches have recruited much better while having student athletes show academic progress and graduate. And you can't use as your standard of comparison a time before college football became the pro farm system that it is today with no expectation of players actually being students in the classroom. If we criticize CPJ for his defense it really would be helpful to also explain why Tech has not had a nationally ranked defense in modern history or why so few Tech defensive linemen ever make it in the pros. If you criticize CPJ for his won-loss record you will need to show how his record is way out of line with Tech coaches of the last few decades. It is easy to conceive of a mythical perfect coach for Tech against which to compare CPJ but it is quite another to compare him to reality. I think it is safe to say that most Tech fans want to go undefeated and win the National Championship. It is frustrating to have such aspirations at Tech. But scapegoating the coach has been a long tradition at Tech that does not help us think clearly about what might be done on an institutional level to maintain high standards not only in the classroom but also on the football field.
