[QUOTE="Cam, post: 440831, member: 568"] You're missing the point. It's not about whether CPJ deserved it. Extending Johnson was literally the only option that Stansbury had available to him that wouldn't hurt us in some major way. Even if he wanted to fire CPJ, the fact of the matter is that we are a cash poor program that cannot afford to pay the remainder of the contracts for Hewitt, Gregory, CPJ, and whatever new coach we hire. Firing is not an option right now. And if you do not provide an extension, you're basically telling every recruit to not bother coming to Georgia Tech because we're going to nuke the program in 1 or 2 years and start from scratch. It is a standard in college athletics to make sure your coach has enough years left on their contract to make recruits feel like they're coming to a stable program. It's just how it works. Aside from that, Stansbury came out and publicly stated he's going to put as much support and resources into the football program that he can manage. One way he demonstrated this was issuing an extension and showing that he has confidence that his head coach can get it done. Honestly, he has essentially put CPJ on a 3 year clock. He's saying, "Here's everything you've asked for. New facilities, larger recruiting staff, your top choice at DC. No more excuses, make it happen." After the 2020 season, we'll have enough money built up from the Gregory and Hewitt contracts ending and (hopefully decent) ACC Network money to make the decision whether to extend CPJ again or kindly ask him to retire.
