He was the best defensive coordinator since after George O'leary that we've had.

If Paul Johnson had kept him as defensive coordinator when we hired him, Johnson would have won a nat'y

I thought Jon's gambling defense would have been a perfect fit with Paul's ball-control offense. Loads of experience but he might be retired. Didn't coach last year:

Pass.
He's 68.
You think he wants to spend time in some recruit's home? And spend time having to keep recruiting his own players so they don't bolt for somewhere else?

Bud Foster, who has retired, is younger than Jon Tenuta.
May be younger than Judy Tenuta. If anyone gets that reference.

All the good defensive coordinators already have jobs. This is very bad timing with signing day 4 days away.

We will probably have to hire someone that's already on staff.

We have a very young defensive staff that would benefit greatly from Jon Tenuta as co defensive coordinator for one year.

What is it with fans of this program and the infatuation of bringing back coaches from years, sometimes decades ago? Why don’t we dig up Heisman while we’re at it and get the biomed kids to reanimate him. The game has changed significantly. Key and his staff will find the right candidate for the future of Georgia Tech football - and hopefully it won’t be a 70 year old who had success with the program 20 years ago.

Oh.you’re serious?
Sorry, but the game has left Tenuta behind. His last couple of gigs as DC his defenses got eaten alive.
Mind if I clip 'n save this post for whoever has the courage or audacity to suggest Ted Roof? I know it's coming...

I know I only went to Southern Tech so not as smart as most on here (but I believe you would promote someone (Jess Simpson) and hire a LB coach.

I had to suffer thru the BC game where Matt Ryan picked the Tenuta defense apart. And that was a pretty "traditional" offense. Now image RPO and zone read and all the new schemes that are taking over...a zone blitzing scheme might be the worst possible tactic against current offenses. Tenuta was a good DC, but between his tactical limitations and his infamously *****ly demeanour, the game has left him in the past...

YES
But what do you think about uga in athens where we whip uga for all but 5 minutes and lead 28 to 13 and then play 3 man line with soft zone.
Some of us are still seeking clousure and cling to old blitz.
Watching the nfl playoffs - i see a lot of teams play our offense. No one has a 3 man line with soft zone.
GROH was Fianly fired because MTSU stole our signals. He believed in dl dominate and rwad that means Gt needs a stud NT.
I am pretty bummed out about - just before spring our dc leaves for lessor level coaching and we have youth movnent in dl.
WTF.
I see you guys after spring training gets
