Wrong one to have at AD , and AD should always be ready not a good sign.

Could be worse. He could have called Bill Curry to the press conference and announced him as the next coach.

 

[TooTall]

But geez ... when he talks he reminds me of the Peanuts parents: very monotone, says "uuummmmm" a lot. He could use a few courses in our hoped-for communications degree.

He may be Canadian, but he's OUR Canadian!!

Why? Do you hate having an explosive offense or something? Do you want to have the POS offense Gailey ran? I just don’t understand not wanting one of the best offenses there is out there. I don’t want something everyone else runs.

It’s a sore thumb on the program, look at it through the eyes of a 19 year old... (which I am) I know how people my age feel about it and how negatively it effects GT’s image and ability to recruit. I know most of the older people have seen it all and just want to win, but I want sustainable success because of the players we have not the offense we run.

Please TStan no more Triple Option.

This is the same thing that GT's opponents' coaches are saying right now, also. So, you have that going for you.

Running a "sustainable successful" program around players when they have a 4-5 year shelf life AT MAX is by definition impossible. Systems win championships.

What I’m saying is I want Tech to be good without having to run a gimmicky offense that has gone extinct in the P5 for a reason.

The reason being that we are consistently among the top offenses in country?

In the words of former Ga Tech head coach Paul Johnson when asked why he relies so heavily on an unbalanced offense.
“I don’t want to be balanced,” Johnson said. “I can find a bunch of teams with losing records that are balanced.” ajc 7/28/2018

I enjoyed Stansbury's interview. To me he's got a great personality - a few "umm's" in there understandably, which is fine because it means he's thinking about what he's saying, but he's got great humor, easy-going, good responses to the actual questions, and exudes maturity.

I miss him already. He was a smug SOB.... but he was OUR smug SOB!

The thing I love about the option is that it is a system breaker. By that, I mean it doesn’t matter what the defense runs normally, they all adapt to our formation. Whether blitzing A gaps, the umbrella 4-3, or a 5 man front, there are only so many ways to skin the cat, and we theoretically had a counter to them all.
It also allowed us the freedom to move the ball without the massive tackles or throwing QB that are required to run the pro style, which Chan grew one of the former and never got the latter in recruiting. Their are only so many to go around, and we aren’t in the club.
I think we need to run a David strategy still, but that doesn’t necessarily mean flexbone. There are other systems out there that can put pressure on the defense and we can recruit to.
But no offensive system is a panacea. You still need good players, and you need high level QB play.

I respect your opinion, but I don't think you're using "gimmicky" correctly.
Also, for GT to have "what every other P5 school does/has done" in their decision making process seems very flawed.

Please TStan no more Triple Option.

So you want to see us punt more next year.

 

[year_of_the_swarm]

Did he say anything about timeline?

Conspiracy theory: CPJ's "retirement" is about 1 thing - Pressley Harvin's Heisman campaign.

Lol gimmicky offense. People act like every bum coach can run any offense and have success. Every offense is gimmicky. If not, it probably sucks without elite talent and even with white talent it may still suck like LSU.

Kill the program why don’t you. Let it go.

 

[augustabuzz]

Why do all the children dismiss this offense?

 

[GTonTop88]

I want an open minded coach who can evolve a program and one who can recruit. The next coach doesn’t need to be our offensive coordinator but one who knows who to hire to transition our offense and be effective with who we have on the roster.

 

[ibeattetris]

Because they are Madden heroes?

I don't know.
