[QUOTE="redmule, post: 265826, member: 1338"] I like the possibilities CPJ brings. Many (probably most) games in his tenure, we have seen an offense that cannot be stopped regardless of who is across the line of scrimmage. Some other games, it struggles, because of a lack of execution usually caused by lack of depth (injuries and attrition). He's had several nice seasons, a couple of amazing ones, and one awful one. For us to reach the heights we want and make the playoffs, we have to catch lightning in a bottle. But so does everybody else not named Bama, i.e., Auburn, Oregon, Michigan State, Notre Dame. FSU has disappeared and so will Clemson next year if they even make the playoffs this year. What gives us the best chance to catch lightning in a bottle? Johnson's offense IMO. Before Johnson, there have been three times in my GT lifetime that we caught LIAB. 1966, Dodd's last year, we started out 9-0. Dodd's luck ran out and we ended 9-2. Twenty four years later, we had our once in a lifetime best coaching staff of Ross, Friedgen, and O'Leary. They dragged us across the finish line in '90, but could not in '91 with many of the same players. 2000/2001 had coaching and talent, but it never quite reached critical mass for different reasons. We never came close under Carson, Fulcher, Rodgers, Curry, Lewis, or Gailey, and mostly had forgettable seasons under them. 2009 and 2014, we were sooooo clooooose, probably closer than any time other than 1990. Johnson has us where we at least have a bottle and the lightning is nearby. What we need is a player or two to unexpectedly explode like Godsey or Hollings or Brooking or Rudolph or Mason or Days. That is not as rare as you might expect, and CPJ's offense and recruiting from a different talent pool, I think, gives us a higher probability of that happening. Throw in a couple of timely bounces or referee calls, and we're there (for at least a little while). In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy the huuuge exciting plays, the unexpected guttings of very good teams by the TO, and the quality of the players CPJ brings in. Don't get on the coaching carousel cause mostly what you get is just taken for a ride. [/QUOTE]
