[QUOTE="Techster, post: 481930, member: 360"] Personally, for me, I'm first and foremost a GT fan. GT will always come first in my rooting priorities. I root for our players because they chose us to play for, and they are the ones that sacrifice their bodies and time for GT. Coaches come and go. They are modern day mercenaries that get paid VERY well to do a job. Let's not romanticize coaching...Heisman, as legendary as he is for GT, only came to GT because we paid better and he got a cut of the attendance proceeds. As CPJ showed last offseason, there are no loyalties if a better opportunity arises. I root for CPJ to do well because, obviously, GT's success is tied to CPJ's success. Anyone who roots for CPJ to fail while he's still coaching here is NOT a GT fan. However, do I believe CPJ is the best solution for GT the next 5-10 years? I do not. I think the way college football, and football overall is trending, CPJ's insistence on going out with his system is a liability for GT in the long run. I also thinking holding on to CPJ will be a detriment to the capital drive that Stansbury has put together. Let's face it, CPJ is probably close to the end of his coaching career, whether it's on the field returns or the age factor. I DO NOT want a situation like Bobby Bowden, or Frank Beamer where the program is hurt in the process of figuring out "the right thing" to do while on field performance is declining. As I said in another thread, giving CPJ more money ultimately only puts a new paint job on an old car. [/QUOTE]
