Paul Johnson time frame.

[MikeJackets1967]

I still not sure he will retire I don't see him being fired he has done what Tech wants , They just don't care about winning. I still like him but I also think it's time for him to retire. IMO if Tech doesn't chance the way they think about football it's not going to matter who is the Coach.

I think GT could use a colorful head coach like Lane Kiffin that would get GT regularly on ESPN and in big stories in newspapers and magazines. That would help in recruiting and make GT relevant very quickly.

He might decide to go elsewhere to coach. Maybe even D2 level but there is always turnover and some school out there would take a chance on him.

I could get behind another year of cpj if he hired an offensive coordinator or consultant to assist with some new additions to offense. If the offense becomes more efficient in passing and passes more, it will also improve recruiting...

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I don't think they would but some thought that about the SEC

At least i don't think it will happen in my lifetime

I could see Paul Johnson coaching somewhere like Appalachian State if Scott Satterfield left for GT or UNC.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

With that thought process half the schools in the ACC should move to a lower divisions and many other schools outside the ACC. We're not the only school in the Acc that is struggling or constantly faces mediocrity.
Louisville, BC come to mind

When everyone starts to realize that it's not just the coach that makes us a good team then we can get somewhere. Hiring a new coach is like a bandaid right now. If we're going to be serious about improving the program we need to improve all aspects from top to bottom.

Louisville and BC would be better off in the AAC and so would Syracuse

East Carolina will be looking. There are a lot of changes every year and schools are desperate to win. Look at us.

It's not him I worried about he has money. It's Tech football I worry about if they don't change how they feel about Football,

Yeah Scooter Montgomery will be fired at East Carolina at the end of the season and they might want to hire someone like Paul Johnson

I know for a fact yes to your first question. We have basically been dead last in acc in asst coach spending. Or tied with wake etc. especially this 5-6 years ago. We have had a slight uptick the past year or two. This is one reason why paul has talked about, in the past, matching the program commitment with expectations.

Cpj has had to manage tech through the unprecedented arms race boom. This didn’t happen to this extent prior to cpj

As far as your second question. Not sure immediately, overtime if should if they are well known coaches. I think it may help in spots. But i do think his offense is a big recruiting barrier to overcome. Been saying that for 11 years as always my biggest concern with paul (and OL)

Your biggest concerns with CPJ are well documented....#1 Roof, #2 Sewak, # “3 a currrnt player getting pt.

With some slight improvements on D thus far you are shifting your focus a tad this year.

Cpj will likely retire than go coach somewhere else . Thats our best case. But again , a new coach is not going to fix things at least not right away. The program has more issues than just our coach . Gotta fix things top to bottom

Spending more on Per Player money will not improve the recruiting generated by our predictable, deciphered, boring 65-rush-plays/game offense. We aren't losing to Duke and Pitt now because of facilities spending, etc. It's a load of crap being spun by those who wish to keep our team in the mid 20th century.

Well...the load of crap has been found now...

Well if that is what you need to get behind him all I can say is you may want to get behind the next coach, I don't see him hiring someone to run his offense.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Well at one time we did play Clemson in Atlanta like 16 straight years before we entered the ACC.

And what was the W/L record during that time? (I honestly don’t know and recognize much of the football landscape has since changed)

 

[RonJohn]

So I stand by my assertion. Until we commit to spending more, we cannot reasonably expect to be any more competitive than we already are.

Even in the current situation, GT is competitive. Not winning as much as I would like. Even in 2015 with a 3-9 record all but three games were within one score.(Clemson, Miami, ND) I included ND even though it was 8 points because that score didn't really match the game. Also, in the Miami game the strip-sack touchdown late in the 2nd quarter was a game breaker. We played Miami well but made some very bad mistakes.(2 fumbles, 2 interceptions)

First Mike I like you am not picking on you . Think about this your the AD you have a Head Coach you didn't hire but the School is happy with him because he graduates players and does not brake the rules. Now you know you need to hire a new Head Coach and that is going to be your man ( Your statement ) the one you are putting your job on, What do you do ? You know there are other things you want to do first to help recruiting. Would you really want your name on Lane Kiffin and his past ?

 

[MikeJackets1967]

And what was the W/L record during that time? (I honestly don’t know and recognize much of the football landscape has since changed)

GT lost to Clemson 73-0 in 1903 and didn't lose to them again until 1945 and after that didn't lose to them until 1969. GT first lost to Clemson at Death Valley in 1974.

That's a great point you make stech81TStan needs to get concessions from the bigwigs up on the hill The minus with Lane Kiffin as head coach would be his questionable recruiting that would probably cause the NCAA to investigate GT at some point.

 

[Vespidae]

No . I still think Paul Johnson will retire or be let go the week of the UGAG game or shortly afterwards.

I don’t see it. Next year, yes. Not this year.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

If he's around in 2019 the attendance at BDS could get really ugly.........................................just sayin'
