Paul Johnson to retire

[Skeptic]

I haven't watched Army in a while. What has Monken done to tweak things? Looks like he's passed far less - 7.7 attempts per game, v. CPJ's 9.5 this year.

I've seen them a couple of times. He uses a shotgun occasionally, and a shotgun with motion occasionally, but stays mostly in Johnson's traditional set. Thing is, with his different formations, Monken still runs the ball, or did when I watched. His motion was Clemson-like: nothing happened with the motion man but it had to be respected. Like Johnson he thinks the only thing that should be in the air is rain. And while I know I am biased, I don't think a coach in the country has done a better job at their place than Monken has done at Army.

I agree that there are 4 to 5 programs that have taken off and left everyone else. Outside of that though there is still plenty of parity.

I agree

Here is what I want Paul Johnson to do. Write a book. In only the way he can - give the honest truth about what goes on at these other programs, what life is like as a coach. Social media, player challenges, academic challenges. Funny stories, etc.

The best thing that will come out of this is that Sewak is gone

Alright @Ibeeballin you got me

Disagree, it will hit me when we're forced to throw on third and five because the new guy doesn't have the balls to go for it on forth.

Welp. At least we got a bowl this year. We wont be getting one for another few years now.

We had one 17 straight years until Paul missed 2 out of 3

Chad Morris scared me off of CLEM coaches. The embarrassment of talent riches in that place is real and it makes their coaches look like geniuses.

For no big reason Tony Elliot to me is like Jeff Capel was for the b-ball search.

Or it's 3rd and 3 and we throw a swing pass 3 yards behind the line.
Or it's 4th and 1 and we line up in the shotgun and run it up the middle.

There are certainly some good offenses out there. But I like the GT/Iowa/Stanford teams that aren't afraid to line up and run the ball from under center when everyone in the stands knows it's going to happen, and it still gains yards.

Um doesn't really correlate but ok

They must have forgotten the 5 times that Paul Johnson beat them. That's not an exaggeration. Those sorts of short term memories are why they are Clemson alums and we are Georgia Tech alums.

on the other hand i've noticed that them tigger alums and fans make a lot less money than GT grads but are 10x more likely to buy you a fireball than any Gt alum when u casually meet them in bar .. ... ..

One reason Tech has so many millionaire alum

Sometimes I wonder about people on this board. I just brought up Whisenhunt's name to 6 different co-workers and they all thought he would be a great hire. Come on here and everyone thinks it would be terrible. Same thing with Johnson. When the news broke at the office EVERYONE thought it was great news for GT. Come on here and it's doom and gloom. I really would like to understand the psychology here. Something has caused many on this board to see our program completely differently than everyone else.

+1. Same experience here. No negative on Whis except on tech boards. I can see the comparison with Gailey but he us definitely not that. Much better personality. He would represent Tech extremely well. Staff would be critical especially around recruiting.

How does it not correlate? Clemson OC's look good because they have awesome talent via Dabo.

Can Elliot bring Dabo with him?
