Today’s the day for Paul Johnson and Ralph Friedgen

[Eli]

Ibe played for him i don't think he's ever said Johnson was mediocre i think he's said the results were over time the same as they were with chan which many believed were mediocre. I disagree with that myself, but johnsons does have a couple losing seasons chan never did. chan also never won 11 games.

Or beat UGA and scored 6 points against wake with Tashard and the best player in Tech history

Well Deserved. Glad to see Paul get the nod, and equally happy to see GT Football amplifying it.

Yep

This may also help

Key is trying to unite the fanbase and the that includes the "say no to the option" donors. From what I've heard, he's dead serious about the business of GT football.

Since negative references to TFG are frowned upon on this site, I will say that the attitude of the new regime recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of CPJ are a very nice and refreshing touch and hopefully something the entire fan based can get behind. Very well deserved.

Would love to see Batt patch up the gt johnson relationship with a big dinner before a home game. Put me down for a table near the front.

Not a smooth politician but a football genius.

Waiting to see his name between the Lower and Upper East!

Dumbest thing we ever did was not support him post 2016. It’s almost unbelievable. It’s downright sad who replaced our HoF coach. I’ll never stop shaking my head over it.

It's a d@mn shame GT still hasn't brought CPJ back to honor him for his time at GT. Now that he's being inducted into the CHOF, there's a good reason to. Hope Batt and Cabrera rectify that in the next year or two.

I think it would have been an insult to bring him back in the past three years given all the negative talk that went on about how difficult the transition was for TFG.

Now that HCBK is at the helm, I think more respect will be shown. Seems fitting to do it this coming season. Maybe at homecoming?

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

He SHOULD have been the successor to Ross.

This!

First thing I thought of as well

Needs a statue. And I mean this in all sincerity!

I agree that Richt's record is good, but my question is what has he won? He's 11-7 in bowls as a HC, his national championships were as an OC, and he only won two conference championships as a HC. Multiple conference COYs, one national COY, but no other notable hardware. He did put players in the NFL which does help, but I'm not convinced he did enough.

He won 2 national championships almost every year at UGA.

(The national championship in recruiting and the preseason national championship.)

In Statesboro, absolutely. In Atlanta, no. Ross is the one needs a statue so all of NC coaches will be honored.

Preach it!

I think the biggest obstacle to that is sitting on his pile of $11 million at home, waiting for Matt Rhule to call.

If that happens, I'm there. And PJ is a helluva dinner speaker. Lots of good stories.

And the next home after that they should bring Collins back and let us throw water balloons at him. Thinking about it they could sell tickets for $10 each to throw a water balloon at Collins.

That alone could raise enough money to fully fund a NIL initiative.

I actually think this is a solid idea. For fan day we could set up a dunking booth
