JHD and Whitehead play the same position as Freeman.
Boy does that combo sound better than what we have now.
I actually think Hunt-Days could play some DT. We will see.

We need better recruiting. We need some 4-star difference makers.This isn't a fire CPJ thread or anything of that nature...Just want to discuss what you it takes for you to want to keep CPJ as coach.
Just trying to get a feel of the fanbase.
Or a Hadassah recruiter.Save the buyout money. Spemd it on recruiters and a badass d coordinator.
That's unfair to Barnes. He had a good senior year, but your overall point standsWe've had big guys who couldn't play and that didn't work, either. TJ Barnes ring a bell?
Muschamp for DC ? He will be available soonSave the buyout money. Spemd it on recruiters and a badass d coordinator.
Then do it--today!I think Paul will step down before he is fired.
Until the recruiting limitations placed on the program by the Hill are addressed, we have little choice but to keep him. Personally, I do not think that the geeks on the Hill care about football and are in many ways antagonistic towards it. However, if certain alumni with deep pockets were to explain the facts of life to these ivory tower idiots that might change. Defensive recruiting is an area that must be addressed. How many scholarships do we have left in this class? Four, Five whatever the number ALL of them should be directed towards getting defense no matter what. Johnson whatever his faults is absolutely the master of this offense. It is astonishing what they accomplish given the personnel limitations but no matter how much offensive wizardry and fireworks you produce you cannot score every time.This isn't a fire CPJ thread or anything of that nature...Just want to discuss what you it takes for you to want to keep CPJ as coach.

I am pretty sure this team has more team spirit and supports one another more than any tech team in quite a while. They seem to get along with one another and play hard. Really don't think team cohesiveness is an issue here.I don't even say keep him no matter what. I think the issue is more complicated than the choices provided. For example, has he lost the locker room is a big part of it for me.
BS. He was foreign born and was behind in HS credits. Has nothing to do with GT being tougher to get into than it was 10 years ago. Quit making excuses.North Carolina's best defensive player was committed to Georgia Tech and then turned away at the last minute (for whatever reason) ..
It's getting more difficult to find players
CPJ is graduating players and has stayed very competitive in almost all games. There is far more parity in college footfall then there was 30 years ago. There are far more D1 schools, which means more scholarship available to top players......(why take a scholly at Tech and sit on the bench for 2 years when you can take on at a MTSU and possibly start your freshman year........kids want to play) I think the fan base needs to wake up and realize that Tech is never going to be competing for an NC year in and year out.
Pair last year's defense with this year's offense.....or the O from 2012 and you have a stellar season. The stars just did not align for that to happen. I would rather have the stability of a winning season almost every year and the odd chance of chasing the NC rather than a couple of 10-2/11-1 seasons followed by 4-8/3-5 seasons.
Last two weeks pushed me over the edgeThis isn't a fire CPJ thread or anything of that nature...Just want to discuss what you it takes for you to want to keep CPJ as coach.

Was ranked 84 DT by Scout. That's a 3 star by today's standards. It's well known that Scout changed their star ranking criteria a few years back.Wrotto was a 2 star recruit. He supports my argument about developing guys overlooked by the factories.
