[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 279725, member: 1508"] I would assume that if we go after Ken N or Jeff Monken, their first call would be to CPJ to ask him what he thought. Sometimes I wonder if CPJ regrets leaving Navy to come here. Money aside, at Navy he didn't really have to worry about expectations. Housing was paid for. The school could recruit itself. He didn't really have to worry about kids expecting touches and unrealistic NFL aspirations. He didn't have to deal with an antagonistic fan base and local media doubting him or his system. If Monken can beat Navy half the time, they'll start naming stuff after him. If Ken N. keeps doing what he's doing, he and his staff can stay there forever. I don't think either one of those guys would have any aspirations to go to the NFL, so why exactly would they come to Tech with all of its hardships? I'll put it another way, the ceiling at Tech is higher than a service academy, but it isn't high enough that we will probably ever be in the National title conversation in the rest of my lifetime. I suppose all the stars could align, but I've just come to realize that a 2 loss season is about the best we could ever hope for going forward. So, if the money is comparable, why would Ken N. or Monken leave the relative comfort of an academy head coaching position? I think Paul left Navy thinking that he could take Tech and get us in the national title conversation. That hasn't happened. Reality set in about the academic restrictions here, the prevailing media narrative about our offense and our school and a crappy AD on top of that. All of that has a chance to change with Stansbury and his willingness to really put an emphasis on football and giving us the things we need to succeed. If that's the case and we truly take off as a program, I don't think that Paul would be leaving any time soon. If I were Paul and they called me, I'd give them the straight poop, blemishes and all. Tech is a place where great things can happen, but there are a lot easier places to coach. [/QUOTE]
