Paul Johnson to retire

[MikeJackets1967]

Exciting and sad. Lots of great memories over the last 11 years.

It's been an interesting ride on the world's biggest roller coaster

Ken Whisenhunt being thrown out is an interesting option.. knows Tech and challenges we face

This would be an absolute awful hire. I'd rather we bring in another Flex Option coach (Monken) than go the NFL retread route. I hope TStan has better options in his pocket or else it's not gonna be pretty.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

I'll say this though, to follow up on my last post, I would be pretty heartbroken if he retires then comes back out of retirement and leads another team. Ugh, that would suck.

I could see him coaching East Carolina or coaching Appalachian State if GT hires Scott Satterfield.

Always been a fan of CPJ, but he said a while back when he gets to a point where he just can't win or it isn't fun anymore he would retire. Those 4th and 6 calls at the UGA game pretty much sealed the deal.
He was a great coach and a hall of famer , he's done amazing things for this program

Now real question...is whose next will it be an option coach or a standard offense coach.
Will be interesting seeing as how our offense is built and the current recruits coming in

If you go back and listen to the radio show from last week, I think he accidentally let his plans be known, but I was hoping that wasn’t the case. Great coach who has been under appreciated. We’ll be lucky to get someone who is half the coach of CPJ. I would love to see us bring in Monken, but I think the narrative that his offense was the problem will prevent that.

Wisenhunt would be a disaster. We need to run some form of spread option. I'd be very hesistant to hire Satterfield from App State. They are a program that spits out success like VCU in basketball. I don't want the next Shaka Smart of football.

If it is Whisenhunt, then I have lost all faith in TStan.

Agree 100000000000 % please not him

You're absolutely right I'd rather hire Mike Smith than Ken Whisenhunt

Yep. We need someone who understands recruiting and is an offensive innovator. So many good options and we are the best open job right now. Whisenhunt would be the most uninspiring hire I can imagine.

I'm glad to start a new chapter and believe it's time, but I will carry many good memories from the Paul Johnson years. He certainly had some good ones.

NFL is like watching dry paint dry. I don't even do fantasy.

Loooove college football (well, except this recent factory thing getting out of hand now).... NFL is so boring.

Standard offense now is a power spread.

 

[dubjacket]

No way to Wisenhunt. JMO. He has a horrible record as a head coach! Stay in college. Monken or Bohannon

 

[MikeJackets1967]

On 92.9 the Zone they said this announcement of Paul Johnson retiring was great timing for GT and wouldn't hurt recruiting

Xmas came early

 

[GTRoy]

So many great memories: The Kick and the Pick, The Miracles on Techwood and North Avenue, The End of the Drought, The Lightning Game in Tallahassee.

I'm a big fan of traditional option offenses, so I selfishly hope we hire Jeff Monken. Would also love Scott Satterfield at App State.

 

[SteamWhistle]

He's now flaccid.

LMAO!

Has not coached in college as a head coach and won 40% of his games.

The ones who wanted to see CPJ hope y'all will be happy with 3 wins a year

 

[Technut1990]

He will go down in Tech History as the 3rd best coach at the school, the best in modern history, that's a statistical fact for you naysayers

 

[MikeJackets1967]

Or do what Tennessee and Alabama are doing which is a Pro-Set
