[QUOTE="GT_B, post: 497666, member: 887"] I will always love Pauls competitiveness and his occasional gems he would drop here and there with the media. He brought a lot of success to Tech and strangely enough, gave tech a national identity by running the 3O, even though it also brought a lot of negative coverage as well. I sure won’t miss the same cliche commentary every game. “Assignment football”, “3 yards and cloud of dust”, “the bback is the fullback”. With that said, I’ve felt the program had gone stale the last couple of years and I did want a change, even with us hanging on and putting a winning season together, I still wished we would look a different direction. But I was pretty sure with us not having a losing season after the 1-3 start Paul would stay. So it is a little surprising now. I know people hate and love the offense. There’s nothing wrong with the 3O in terms of Xs and Os, it can be very effective offense when clicking, and fun to watch at times, but also be absolutely painful to watch when run poorly(yes I know every offense would be painful), but having a starting division 1 QB who can’t make an 8 yard throw is something I definitely don’t want to see again. My issue is that we already struggle with so many things that hender our recruiting and I think the 3O only furthered that aspect. It’s so easy to negatively recruit against it, even when it produces. I saw so many HS players saying they wouldn’t even consider tech and the offense. I understand the crowd that thinks we can only ever recruit 2 and 3 star players, and the 3O allowed us to compete with those players, but I hate that attitude and would want us to at least try to shoot higher. With GA having so much Hs talent as a state, I truely think bringing in an offense that is more appealing across the board to kids now days, we can snag a handful of 4 star players, get a few difference makers and we can really do some damage.
