[QUOTE="56JacketDE, post: 511101, member: 1053"] [U][B]Against the mutts:[/B][/U] Johnson won 3, all wins in Athens, with no consecutive wins. (3-8 overall) CG was 0-7 with the unforgettable 51-7 drubbing. GOL won 3 in a row (3-4 overall), additionally this upcoming season marks the 20th anniversary of our last win at Bobby Dodd against UGA BR won 2 in a row (2-3 overall) Curry won 2 in a row (2-5 overall) I think Johnson was successful, any coach who wins an orange bowl at GT has done something! That being said, regarding his overall total games won - we play more regular season games now, we also have a conference championship game, and we also play annual FCS competition, something some of his predecessors did not get the luxury of. More overall games = more chances to win. On top 25 finishes; we landed in the final top 25 poll 3 of 11 seasons (08, 09, 14). In looking up this info, it was surprising the 2016 team that beat Kentucky and finished 9-4 did not finish in the top 25. When i looked at the schedule, two of the wins were over Mercer and GA Southern, maybe the pollsters weren't fond of the FCS wins? I think it goes largely unrecognized that GOL finished in the top 25 five seasons in a row (97-01). It is debatable as to whether some of those teams deserved it for sure but it happened. As a side note, I think GOL is one of the more polarizing names on these message boards. One other point that is hard to argue is he inherited a pretty full cupboard of talent. It is no coincidence that 08-09 were his best back to back seasons. He provided alot of great memories besides the 3 dramatic wins in athens. some big wins over much more talented clemson teams and the VT and wake wins in 2009 come to mind. I am looking forward to the GC era! [/QUOTE]
