Institutional support is everything when you have a good coach. If you don't give it you get bad results so whatever happens that has to be our mantra going forward.
Yes - it'd be nice to compete with those teams. There's an ice cube's chance in hell of doing that now.
Do you want to keep having seasons like this one? 'Cause that's what more of CPJ or another option coach will bring us. Complete, total mediocrity and irrelevance.
Is that what you want?
Who's to say next season or the following ones will be like this one? Why could they not be like 2014? Tech is never going to be able to compete for the same athletes as the factory schools. Sorry but that is reality regardless of who the coach is or the scheme being run.
I think he talking about support as a commitment to success, but I would like to know more about how gt verses other ollege sports programs in GA are organized.. Gt, ga state, uga?? Any ideasIs Duke sports run by an "athletic department" or an "athletic association"? It matters because if it's a department of the school, then yes ... institutional support is needed. Tennessee for example, is a department of the school. If it's an "athletic association", then ... athletics is more or less on its own. Support is to be generated from the fanbase along with donations, etc.

Well, it would sure liven up the scene around here. He did a great job at Alabama breathing life into a moribund Crimson Tide offense but man Coach Saban got to where he could not stand him. You could see that in the way Saban would look at Kiffin while they were on the sidelines. It must have been a tense working environment for sure.
I know UGA is operated by an "Athletic Association" much like Tech. In fact, I think it's a BOR requirement. A few schools, like Tenneseee ... athletics are part of the school administration and the school calls the shots.

I don't think it is USG policy but is needed if funding needs exceed the allowable institutional amount. Regardless of having athletic association or not, USG and SACSCOC both specify ultimate responsibility is president.I know UGA is operated by an "Athletic Association" much like Tech.

USG Policy 4.5 - https://www.usg.edu/policymanual/section4/C331/
Also, SACSCOC in Principle 5.2.b requires institution president/CEO to be responsible for athletics - http://www.sacscoc.org/pdf/2018PrinciplesOfAcreditation.pdf
Whats the damn fear of losing Johnson, the team sucks. How many “we’ll get em next year” do you want to have? The program is a laughingstock in its own state and not a
thought nationally. Why wouldn’t you want more for your program?
The scheme DOES hurt recruiting. As a former educator and someone that continues to work with teens in youth sports it’s absolutely hurts recruiting.
Steve Addazio would be a nice hire. He's turning the BC program around which is tough to do when nobody in Massachutsetts gives a damn about BC football.Steve Addazio? He surely doesn't want to spend his career at BC. It would be like stealing Bobby Ross from MD?
An offense like Texas Tech runs where you throw all the time would get a lot of notice. If Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury gets fired this season or next he would be a very interesting hire.So how does Tech overcome this? Running a spread? RPO? Pro set? Where are the 4-5 stars needed to run those at the highest level going to come from?
So the thing with a new coach is that if Paul Johnson is fired it means a losing record for the third time in 4 years and another missed bowl game. I'm of the mind of hiring a solid hire for a reasonable 4-5 year contract and give him 3 years to get us back to 7-8 win consistency. If we hire an untested guy who is an "up and come" there is a bigger chance they flame out and we go three more years without a bowl and dig a hole too big to climb out of.

Totally agree with this. We need a proven P5 coach. We can see the up and comers ... give a guy 3-5 years and a percentage of the gate. Even Les Miles ...
