What needs to happen for you to want to keep CPJ?

[Eric]

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.

We have to see what he can do with this incoming class. The team would be unbeaten with a few studs on D.

 

[Frenchise]

He needs to prove he can win against Pitt, UVA, and Clem. I'll take UGA, but I don't think the best coach in world can beat them with our D.

I didn't need him to beat Clem to prove his worth until these last 2 games. If he can pull it off, I'll back off. I'm an outsider(in terms of what's going on behind the scenes), but for the life of me I can't figure out why this was the game plan.

I understand what you are saying but it will be 2-3 years before we know how good that class really is. At this current rate, PJ doesn't have that much time.

That would be 2-3 years down the road.

 

[DvilleJacket]

You don't think any of those guys can play next year?

 

[shockwaveGT]

Save the buyout money. Spemd it on recruiters and a badass d coordinator.

 

[GTBandit22]

The offense doesn't worry me. We need to go at least 8-4 regular season. Our schedule is too soft for any less.
I feel for PJ, but we have had a 3 year span wih a chance to take over the coastal. We have had some roster adversity, but the buck stops with him.
7-5 or less, I pull the plug and go after Morris. I'm of the opinion that Tech will have a hard time if they take the high road academically. If that is the case, keep PJ. If you can't get the big uglies, you're behind the 8 ball before the first snap.

Some will be forced to like Henderson and Glanton but to expect true Fr to come in and make a big diffrence right away is a lot...takes a SPECIAL player like Morgan Burnett, D Morg, etc...With that said KeShun Freeman has played very well for a young guy.

Relying on true freshmen in college football is really tough.

 

[Em_Jae20]

If he shows that he can get this team to finish strong I'd be satisfied. These past few years we've started strong and fizzled out as the season progressed. I'd love to see us go 4-1 to close out the regular season

 

[DvilleJacket]

Freeman plays his tail off! The guy is undersized but fights every play!

 

[Em_Jae20]

Oh yeah, and keep this recruiting class in tact.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

As a long time Tech observer the pattern I have noticed over the years is that a lot of things have to come together in just the right way at just the right time for Tech to be a dominant team. CPJ's record compares favorably with any coach we have had since Dodd. The reason for that is that even when the planets do not line up just right to create a dominating team, he is at least able to put a team on the field that is competitive. I would not even discuss getting rid of CPJ until after 2016.

 

[AE 87]

LOL, BBuzzoff is back!

 

[gtg936g]

Next year we we will have some guys on the line that are not eligible this year. We will also have some young guys that are quality recruits that can rotate in.

 

[jason]

I would like to see what will happen with all the extra recruiting help we are getting good
Player on defense I really think in 2 years we could be very good

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

As long as he wins 7, he stays.

 

[Eli]

I think Paul will step down before he is fired.

 

[UgagSucks]

If we win 7 but get blown out by UGA then I think it will be hard to keep him here.
