[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 497239, member: 1045"] I have somewhat mixed feelings. After 11 years, it was getting near time for a change no matter what. Personally though, I was hoping he would coach at least one more year. I thought we had the potential for a really good season next year with a deep stable of experienced b-backs, a QB that can actually pass in LJ or JG, and second year under Woody. My hope is that this means we already have a succession plan in place. I am hoping this has been an ongoing discussion with TS and CPJ just felt it was the right time. If not, this could be a Brian Gregory like scenario for Tech. Given the suddenness of all of this, I wonder if that means someone like Monken is in line. I could see CPJ willing to hang it up a year or two early if one of his proteges was in line next. All I know is that I do not want a Tech grad just because he is a Tech grad (Whisenhunt, Godsey), or some retread coach that is on the hot seat at his current school. I would be fine with Monken or someone who runs the air raid like Neal Brown. Just give me someone young and exciting that has the potential to really recruit. Surround him with some older assistants if necessary like Pastner. Whatever you think of CPJ, his legacy at Tech is unquestionably fantastic and he is leaving at the right time, even according to most detractors. His decision to retire also leaves us in great financial position. Heck, we may even be able to pay middle of the ACC money! lol. His 2 Orange Bowls, 3 ACC title games, wins over plenty of top 15 teams and over UGA have made for a really fun ride. Thanks CPJ.!!!!! [/QUOTE]
