It would be nice if CPJ wouldn't be so testy with the reporters that cover us. Just give a professional answer and move on.

"How was practice today coach?"It would be nice if the reporters that cover us would not ask questions they already know the answer to and start the damn question with a very timid " I imagine"

This is the quintessential smart *** answer:
"Asked if Marshall would start, Johnson replied, “I don’t know. Why wouldn’t he?”
Told that there were indications that backup Tobias Oliver might start, Johnson replied, “You know what? My dad used to tell me: Be careful. Don’t believe anything you hear and half of what you see, and you might be all right.”
I get it that CPJ thinks he is funny or smarter than others. But he is paid $2.5M a year to win games AND represent GT. Being a smart *** doesn't meet the second criteria. He does win some games, but there are other posts for that.
So a guy leaves the game injured and the reporter asks the head ball coach if he will play against VT and Johnson gives another one of his smarmy answers. Tell us exactly how the reporter knows the answer to that question? (In law, don't ask a question you don't know the anser to. In journalism, it is how you learn things. Geez. It is a complete bafflement to me that a guy with his head coaching experience continues to shoot himself in the foot just to prove he can. I do dearly wish his public demeanor and professional courtesy matched his on-field coaching skills.It would be nice if the reporters that cover us would not ask questions they already know the answer to and start the damn question with a very timid " I imagine"
Or he has to read 3 or 4 players when it should be 1 or 2 .You'll know pretty early on whether TM is making reads or playing rock, paper, scissors with the VT defense. Should take a series or 2.
I wonder if there is any other coach in the NCAA that has some of the same questions asked every week when it’s a question they know he won’t answer or questions that beat around the bush trying to trick an answer out of him. I don’t like how he acts either, but I can imagine it gets old. If you notice he normally does that with ridiculous questions (although not always)It would be nice if CPJ wouldn't be so testy with the reporters that cover us.

Bingo!When johnson first came on the scene most of us gave him an attaboy when dealing with the media. Now TV/radio/newspaper don't want to deal with his smart_ _ _answers. It came back to hurt Tech's image and now we see & hear nothing re: Tech sports.This is the quintessential smart *** answer:
