He should. He's the captain of the ship. If he is going to get the glory when the team play good, he damn well better take some or all the responsibility when the team has had a chance to go bowling again two straight weeks and have laid two big eggs. His message has gone stale.
There is one thing I have learned over the years of reading this board. It is always the same ole argument about the issues at Tech. The school doesn't care about our opinions. They don't care about football. They care about building the next rocket that's going to take mankind to another planet. I really wish GT would change but the truth is , it want happen.
I put all the blame on him. I'm ready for GT to veer away from the option and get back to real football. Ten years of this gimmick crap is enough.
If you get right down to it, the Hill shouldn't care about football, aside from the fact that good football teams affect the overall image of the school. That's why the AA is, and always has been, totally separate from the Hill.
Yea, that's what we need. Let's start running the pro-style offense with all the 5 stars that we'll get once we don't run the option anymore. We won't have to commit anymore money and we'll win National Championships consistently. Watch out Bama, here we come.* Lol
There is a lack of commitment from every high source at GT. I disagree that they shouldn't put football first. Why compete at the highest level if we're not going to contribute at the highest level? You can not be Princeton Monday--Friday and be Oklahoma on Saturday. It's never going to happen.
And we are competing for NC and all these players now ?
No, but we were a few points away in 2014. Think about how close we could be if we could just match a school like Boston College in monetary contributions to the program.
And tech is running for Bama now ? I don't like the option , I never have and never will. Some of you guys like it and that's ok. I don't know what a " Pro style offense is " do you ? I want more shotgun with a better passing attack. I want some formations with TE.
We we're not close in 2014! Be honest to yourself. We'll just finished year ten and the passing attack still looks the same since Johnson took over. There is some major issues with this aspect of the offense. I personally think Johnson knows he's running out of time and that's why he doesn't care to change.
Not close? See edit above. One last minute defensive stand against UNC and a healthy Smelter gets us into the playoff in 2014.
I will make a friendly bet with you. A varsity meal before a game haha. My bet is : Tech will NEVER make the playoffs with Johnson in charge. Are you up for that ?
My god dude. Duke beats us that year. Even if we would have beat fsu , tech was not getting in.
I don't get blaming the hill and then saying you blame CPJ. If he's not given resources because of the hill how is that on CPJ? Also you want real football? When has GT ever had "real football" besides decades ago? He's historically been one of the better coaches at GT playing the tougher schedules compared to those who were before him. You call it a gimmick crap of an offense yet it has been top 5 in efficiency two years and multiple other top 25, how is that crap? If you don't like the style I understand that. But to make comments like "gimmick crap" when he's done what he has with his offense doesn't make sense to me.
Oregon lost to Arizona that year and got in. We would have gotten in with a loss to Duke. Not that hard to comprehend. We finished 7th that year. 3 spots away isn't close?
A two loss tech team would have not made the playoffs.
The option offense is crap. Scratch it for the love of the game.
