[QUOTE="decatur jacket, post: 20166, member: 977"] Hate was probably too strong of a word. I probably should have phrased it "I have faith in CPJ." Please do not construe this as being intolerant of criticism of our coach. There are certainly some areas where I feel he needs to improve. However, as much as people point out that he is unwilling to change, in the past couple of years, he has hired a ST coach, implemented shotgun & diamond formations, and added shorter routes to the passing game. I think he is making the improvements to field a more successful team. I hope he implements a hurry-up mode that we could switch on when it looks like we have the other team on its heels. Even if it is calling the same play for 3 plays in a row... that is the reason we run the 3O. We can dive, pitch, or keep on every play, so why not just tell Vad to run the 3O to the wide (or short) side of the field until it gets stopped? I do feel that CPJ has the challenge of meeting more stringent requirements than his predecessors. First of all being the Hill. I wrote a recommendation for a local kid out of Kennessaw this past spring. He grew up a Tech fan, a legacy, had a 4.0 GPA, played HS baseball, other egxtra curricular activities, etc. His SAT was a little low, but he was denied admission. I heard they finally offered him admission only if he came in for summer school. If this is the new standard for Ma Tech, I would have NEVER been accepted. Granted, the scholarship SA's are not held to this standard, but it is clear the bar has been raised. He also has to deal with the graduation rate requirements, or lose scholarships. I am happy we are near the top. I wouldn't mind being middle of the pack and taking a chance on a few more guys that could help on the field, but I can't fault the coach for having to work within the system he is given. [/QUOTE]
