Paul Johnson's job

[Em_Jae20]

I've never been on the fire Paul Johnson train but I was wondering how long do you guys think our new AD will give him if we continue to lose. Not necessarily play poorly, but still lose.

 

[lv20gt]

He'll get next year regardless of what happens (barring things like hitting a player or something)

 

[Lawyer mark]

Johnson isn't going anywhere. If fans start with the fire johnson dialogue it will only hurt recruiting. I am frustrated, but 2 losses isn't a huge deal. Especially against solid opponents. Miami was untested, but had a ton of talent. People that say Miami isn't good are morons. 2 fumbles go for touchdowns. Our senior qb was the difference in the game, just not how we would expect

 

[sidewalkGTfan]

Unless he decides to walk away on his own, he's here thru next year no matter how we play.

Financially, we have no choice right now.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

Money is not a problem. Stansbury will can him if he has a losing season again.

Go Jackets!

 

[inGTwetrust]

Overreaction. Nothing to see here.

 

[OldJacketFan]

I think PJ's fine as far as any hot seat but let say this if Mike Sewak is back next year I may lose what's left of my mind. Yes, I know he and PJ are close but Sewak's lack of being able to communicate and teach the O line scheme has continued to show in the complete inconsistency of play by the O line. Not just year but for the vast majority of time he's been here.

PJ should not be fired. He just needs to hire a recruiting guru. He doesn't have much to work with, with our roster top to bottom, but it's up to him to bring in the right recruiter.

Yep, we're going after les miles lol

....... Miami was untested, but had a ton of talent. People that say Miami isn't good are morons. .....

UM will lose at least 4 of their next 5. UM isn't that good and we'll see that, just like BC. Or I'm a moron.

CPJ should stay as I said in chat. Go look at this for the odds of getting a better coach ........ https://gtswarm.com/threads/112-years-of-gt-football-how-bad-were-we-last-year.9020/

What shouldn't be overlooked is the attendance. The last 2 games the opposition has been out in full force in our home stadium. Are tech fans staying away because of the product on the field?

Let's beat pitt. If Miami beats fsu and our two losses are to top ten teams we will feel a lot better.

I don't want Paul to be fired, but your point is extremely valid.

 

[up state jacket]

I can't stand Sergio Garcia.

 

[GTBandit22]

If we go 3-9 again, it would have to be done.
But we are 3-2 right now. After last year, it's understandable to hear the grumbles. But let it play out before we go too far down the rabbit hole.

Go Jackets!

This! Jerry is spot on. The people who have the money and in many cases withholding their money got their guy in Stansbury. Paul better right the ship quickly. The game within the game going on the rest of the way after losing these last two games. Should be interesting to watch it play out.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

He will not be fired - ever.

The HillNerds are ecstatic when we lose as this will eventually deemphasize football.

The newer generation of GT fans have been "dumbed down" so much by the new definition of success ( nothing wrong with being 2 - 7 vs um) at GT, that they are happy out of their mind with 6 to 7 wins per year.

To wit, 2 weeks ago quite a few were contemplating why we were not ranked (after beating bs & mercer). Now wait and see how soon the "what bowl will we get?". 3rd rate would be better but we, due to academics and never wearing the right cleats of course, will gladly settle for 4th rate.

I think my ignore button is gonna get a workout this week.

That makes no sense. Would they have hired Todd Stansbury if they would have wanted to deemphasize football?

 

[GTL]

Firing Johnson without changing the underlying fundamentals of support for the team by the administration, boosters and alumni will result in a change for the worse.

Maybe Todd can bring about the needed changes, but a new coach shouldn't be the priority.
