[QUOTE="TheTechGuy, post: 289736, member: 2702"] I'm not disagreeing that Nesbitt was good for us, I don't think any GT fan would. But I'll make two points: 1. Paul Johnson has won every where he has been. So you making a statement like "I would argue that CPJ might not even be at Tech today," is pure conjecture not backed by a proven history of winning. 2. CPJ looked at the roster before he took the job. He knew Nesbitt, Dwyer, and Thomas were on the team, which is why he was able to come in so quickly and sale them on staying. If CPJ wasn't aware of talent at a program he would have taken the Duke job when they offered it to him a year before the Tech job. If Tech didn't have talent I think he would have stayed at Navy and waited two more years before going to Vanderbilt. It's not like he took the job and then said, "Oh, I wonder who is on the roster." My point is, the inverse of your query could be true as well. If guys like Nesbitt and Thomas are not on the roster in 2007, Paul Johnson doesn't come to Georgia Tech. Trying to remember the other coaches Tech looked at, it's very possible that if Paul Johnson doesn't come to Tech then Tech doesn't win an ACC and Orange Bowl Title. Bonus Point: Candeto had better stats his first year transitioning to the offense at Navy; their record was bad but had just come off a winless year and winning 1 game in two years. Point here is, give Paul Johnson credit, the dude finds ways to win. [/QUOTE]
