[QUOTE="SidewalkJacket, post: 49907, member: 546"] First, I [I]want[/I] CPJ to succeed at GT. I think there are some that don't, due to some dislike of the man personally. And I am in the camp that thinks he [I]will[/I] succeed over time at GT. My idea of that success, though, is consistent top-25 finishes and always being in contention for an ACC title. Our talent level will make it difficult to set anything else as an expectation, but my belief in CPJ as a good coach causes me to expect those two things. Thus, since we haven't accomplished those two goals recently, one more season of missing out on them will probably force me to reevaluate. On this board I tend to cast my lot with the optimists ("excuse makers" for those who differ), but with our schedule this year, it would be hard for me to be pleased with less than 9 wins. My opinion would also begin to change if we don't beat UGAg within the next two years. Not because we have the talent they do (we don't), but because I still think CPJ is a better coach that CMR. And over time, a good coach gets the better of a lesser coach with more talent sometimes. 1 out of 6 is a little too infrequent. I would think 1 out of 3-4 could be expected. I know some of my fellow "excuse makers" will disagree on that last point, but that's how I feel. [/QUOTE]
