[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 160640, member: 1640"] Would want more information on this before I could agree to it. My memory is that recruiting staff had been cut, the administration had taken a hard line on academic exceptions due to past infractions and the depth chart was way out of whack, particularly short on good offensive linemen. But I had never looked at the possibility that it was stable before so I will have to think about that. One other thing that comes to mind is that the players he inherited really did not like him in some cases. Even those who stuck around for a year before leaving the program early had a tendency to talk the program down, even doing so after they left. That can really hinder recruiting for a few years. Bobby Ross had the same problem and he almost left Tech as a result until he "suddenly" turned things around with a national championship. What Ross and Johnson both have in common is a commitment to a systematic approach in the face of fierce criticism. I think Johnson will hang around longer because, unlike Ross, I do not think the harping negative naysayers have burned him out the way they did Ross. [/QUOTE]
