The article also suggests that they have reached a agreement in principle. CPJ and his attorney are awaiting a draft of the contract but feel good about getting things completed in short order.

Great News

I already know the few people on here that will "enjoy" this news.

My afternoon productivity just went out the door.

All I ask is that everyone try to keep the discourse civil. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. Thanks,

This is very disappointing

He graduates his players. He can stay as long as he wants as long as the Hill is concerned.

Roof was extended and given a raise 2 months before he was "fired" so this doesn't really mean anything to me.

Something tells me you gonna have to put your mod Batman suit on soon ...

His current contract ends in 2020. A 2 year extension is customary to keep the coach “on contract” for all the years the kids being recruited will be there.

Nothing really to see here.

I really like CPJ and want him to retire here, but this seems a bit premature. Probably should have waited until after this upcoming year. I believe that this is just something to show recruits.

That's true. It's probably to keep the impression that hes gonna be here awhile to help with recruiting but still worrisome news.

You have to have a contract long enough for the kids you're recruiting to feel you'll be there when they graduate or you're dead in water recruiting.

I understand what you mean the GT football news has derailed me for the past several days while we awaited Woody's official hiring statement and then trying to guess who fills out the Defensive staff and 10th coach. I am also certain that some on here will rant and rave about accepting average to below average recruiting, win/loss records, poor assistant coaches, and bad swagger in front of the camera/press. I however am more hopeful that things are on the uptick and we will see real progress in recruiting with added staff, updated facilities, and adding Woody! Please also remember that the press isn't shy about pulling quotes from message boards and using them in articles when trying to get a read on the fan base pulse (so not everything typed in here just stays in here). Please take this into consideration prior to rehashing your perspectives on where you perceive that GT football or coaches have failed to produce the results that it would have if "you and your buddies" were in charge. Also remember that GT is hosting several signed football athletes and some that are considering coming to GT this weekend. I encourage you to rip off the rear view mirror and hoist a glass full of your beverage of choice in recognition of all the positive things that are happening within the GT Football staff, facilities, and recruiting resources. In conclusion thanks for all the valuable exchanges on this sight that provide positive discourse between respectful participants that have the best interests of GT at the forefront of their mind! GO JACKETS let's make 2018 the best one yet!

We thought that about BG too. Turns out our then-AD was a dolt and screwed everything up. Hope our new guy isn't a raging idiot.

Guess we'll know based on what the buyout is. If Stansbury is smart it won't go up much.

I think Stan has already shown and made moves that provide evidence to support and suggest that he is behind CPJ and GT Football far beyond what we have seen in the most recent ADs.

Totally different as BG never won squat...JMO

CPJ will be overseeing what perhaps is a GT Football expansion, it's needed.

Not to mention I believe he'll retire soon.

Roof was not fired. He left on his own to take a different job where he’d be appreciated...probably because he saw the writing on the wall [message boards] that the fanbase wanted him gone. Similar to O’Leary btw.
