[QUOTE="Techster, post: 525827, member: 360"] Someone else wrote it earlier (in terms more blunt than I did), and I also touched on it a bit with the "diminishing returns" post, but CPJ's tenure got to the point where some donors and some within the department thought giving more money to him wasn't going to return what they wanted. They felt like CPJ took the program as far as he could. They weren't going to flat out stop funding him to the detriment of GT football like Sasquatch almost did, but they also were not going to stroke big checks toward some of the things CPJ wanted. Stuff like the weight room, better athletic facilities, and coaches endowments are going to live on past CPJ and past even CGC. Those are capital improvements that will return dividends no matter who the players, coaches, or AD is, and has to be done. Other things are relative to the coaching staff, and therefore it was a business decision as to whether giving that money would have returned a higher ROI than what was put in. A few have mentioned that some donors have started to give again and other donors have upped their contributions since CGC was hired. Unfortunately, CGC is the benefactor of a lot of things CPJ accomplished and was working towards. The same will happen to CGC if he's lucky enough to be here for 5+ years...the next coach always gets what the previous coach wanted. [/QUOTE]
