[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 38086, member: 923"] Personally, I think the majority of fans and boosters are unhappy with CPJ's production at present. I think there is only a small majority that is overwhelmingly in love with PJ. However, I think the biggest majority of fans and boosters are satisfied with the fact that PJ was given this year to correct problems with the team and to have a good outing this year. It is a fair thing to do, and most understand it would have taken a lot of money to pay him off if we had not kept him this year. I do believe that the results of this year will have a big influence on both the fans and boosters regarding his tenure after this year. I do think there is a minority to a medium amount of fans and boosters who are completely fed up with the triple option and want to see us go more to a spread or some system that will help our recruiting. I believe most of the fans and boosters will be satisfied to keep CPJ another year after this one if we have a good year. I also think most fans and boosters should think it a big mistake if his contract is extended further even if he has a good season. The wisdom would be to leave the contract in place and then give him another season to see if a good season this year is an anomoly. Basically, I do not think it makes much difference in recruiting if a coach does not have an extension. Most recruits understand that all coaches can be fired at any time the seasons go downhill. If Saban was fired tomorrow, I doubt it would hurt their recruiting more than a player or two. Most of the recruits who have come to Tech wanted to be here regardless of the coach. Most either wanted to come here for the education, Atlanta atmosphere, close to home, etal. The last thought is that there most likely will be a drop in season tickets sold this year because of the past couple of year results (frustration). If the team begins to win consistently through the first half of the year, there might be some increase in single ticket sales the rest of the year. If we have a real good year, then some of the season ticket holders will return if the next year seems promising. I will assure all that the deciding factors for any coach are the ticket sales and the team record, but I am being redundant on those two items. They go hand in hand. I also know that if Tech were to start winning consistantly each year, then the stadium will be full. Winning is the key to full stadiums. Ask Duke how losing affects attendance. When Wallace Wade was their coach, they filled their stadium. When Spurrier was their coach, their attendance also increased. I expect it has increased some in the past few years. [/QUOTE]
