[QUOTE="Techster, post: 146482, member: 360"] I remember that. I also remember a player (may have been Jemea Thomas) tweeting a picture of JeT as a t-FR with the caption "The Future" and that was when EVERYONE thought Vad was the going to be the next big thing for GT football. OTOH...I also remember a bunch of players being excited about adding the pistol and diamond formation, and recruits saying publicly how much CPJ told them he wanted to "expand the offense" and "throw the ball more". I also remember players saying how the offense would be more explosive under Vad, and how much talent he had. At the end of the day, CPJ made the conscious decision to install those formations and concepts during the two seasons leading up to 2013, so CPJ can't be totally clean in this. I wasn't in the living room when Vad was recruited, but I do know he was SUPER excited about something CPJ said about the offense...and I don't believe it was all "triple option offense all the time". A lot of the quotes can be misconstrued, and I think the media knows the pot they're stirring and just want to get a good quote...which CPJ gave. At the end of the day, it's what CPJ said last year, players are going to support the guy that gets them to where they want to go...which is win a championship. I think CPJ meant well when he recruited Vad, but sometimes things just work out the way you plan it. No need for anyone to really say anything negative about Vad or Vad about GT. Vad has actually been pretty supportive of his old GT teammates, and as far as I know, has never disparaged GT or the staff. I think GT and Vad are both in better places now. [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
