[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 459855, member: 1792"] I understand the feeling, even from among long time CPJ supporters, of getting worn down and, after 2014, more often dismayed than not. I [I]do[/I], as I am also one who is far more pro- than anti-CPJ. Oh, I was there in Tampa last week to witness the fourth-quarter collapse, the gut-punch experience was visceral. I get it. But, not to compare CPJ to Dodd in all respects, but merely as a sober historical reminder, I looked at this. After considerable national success for most of his first 12 years at Tech, seasons 13-16 were an era of mediocrity for Dodd and Tech football: A record of 20-18-3. Yes, even the sainted Dodd went through a down period in the middle of his illustrious head coaching career. Yet, Dodd closed out his final six seasons with a 44-18-2 record. Absent a complete team breakdown this season, [I]and [/I]little or no defensive improvement through next season, I've decided to kick back. Keep rooting for the guys, hope (not without reason) for better, and step back from the forums for a few days when the bear gets us instead of us getting the bear. Take a deep breath or ten, have some perspective. A downward trend is not set in stone, but if things don't start trending better in 2019, Tech now has a football-savvy AD who will do whatever needs to be done after the 2019 season -- a season in which the defense should become better, and Benson will be back with two seasoned B-back reserves.
