[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 101619, member: 231"] I for one am not really worried too much about CPJ turning this season into a springboard. One, he has put in 7 years here and passed on offers to leave already for more money after some early success. Two, he has never shown a tendency to assume greener pastures elsewhere at any of his prior coaching gigs. Three, he clearly and from the start seriously cared about running a program the "right way" here at Tech. He improved APR, graduations, pushes internships, hired "Tech men" as grad assistants and now the D coach, maintains discipline consistently even at the risk of team depth and possible (probable) expectation of losses going into a season like this one where he was reasonably seen to be on the "hot seat." Four, Bobinski came in and immediately gave him more recruiting personnel. Five, he can see that the team is becoming one that can be a consistent winner and give consistent winning-type effort. Six, he loves this team and developing this offense under Thomas and clearly shows improved class strength in recruiting going forward. Seven, the ACC is setting up as a good enough conference to get a winning team respected and its champion a decent shot at the 4 team playoff. But it also is a conference where he should be able to see himself as having an excellent chance at the program he is at now, which is fully established as "his" program, to win ACC championships. Eight, at his age and the specific stage of development he now has the program he should see the next 4-5 years as possibly his best shot to get the BCS MNC versus taking over a struggling one and starting over relatively from scratch. So I suggest Bobinski communicating to him that he wants to have a sit down and review of his contract and the program after the ACC championship game before the bowl game. Then you figure out a way to give him a respectful raise/contract (but no rollover Hewitt nonsense), find out what he wants to see to further the program and work out finances in those areas as well. For example, it may mean as much or more to CPJ at this point in his career and personal finances (always heard he has been a shrewd investor anyway so has no financial worries) if Bobinski finds a way to get CPJ's coaching staff raises, and even better paid or more help in the recruiting office. That could do more to keep CPJ satisfied running the Tech program than just throwing a truckload of cash or some ridiculously sweet contract extension at him. Showing overall commitment to bettering the program and rewarding those CPJ hires and relies upon has real value as well. [/QUOTE]
