Lol ooooooookI dont understand what the **** some of you are angry about regarding this presser. He wasn't a jerk to the reporters...sounded to me like a coach that thought the refs gave us the shaft and is angry because of a loss.
OK guys, tell me one thing he was wrong about in that interview. Just one thing.
I don't think his comment was out of line...I am willing to bet Qua has worse things to say about it.His bull**** thinly veiled comment at Qua Searcy. You want to have the kids be all-in you don't throw them under the bus.
Actually he was a jerk. It is this churlish nature of Johnson that is so off-putting. Press and public relations are part of his job and the reporters were doing their job. Of the things I like about him, this I find is almost becoming a game changer. I can understand mistakes, losing, even losing big leads late though it drives me next to crazy. Bullying those who question his decisions and blaming the officials I can't. And he clearly was intimating he was cheated on a couple of penalties. The AD needs to take him to the woodshed.I dont understand what the **** some of you are angry about regarding this presser.

He acts like a brat.
He is a poor representative of the school.
He acts like his team giving up double digit leads and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is always some other persons fault.
Occam's razor maybe: the simplest explanation is, yes we do.I
And the question that I have had about Tech for several years is does Tech have to play a perfect game to beat most opponents? Fumbles and missed assignments don't usually matter against teams like Alcorn State but they will usually doom us against a Pittsburgh or Duke or North Carolina. My theory would be that you have to be a much better team to play through bad mistakes and still win and Tech's problem has been that we are just not good enough to win if we play much less than a perfect game.
I don't recall anybody ever writing Johnson was okay with losing. His conduct afterwards is in question. "Hating to lose" is a common trait of all successful men and women and Johnson is not an iota different. It is not an excuse.Your continued enmity for CPJ has been duly noted.
On the contrary, PJ is a better representative of the school than you think. Why? Because he fulfills the No. 1 responsibility of the school - he gets his players to graduate at a rate close to unequaled in FBS and almost in Tech history. He really does care about his players. He just doesn't show it to you or the rest of us publicly. He's also upfront and honest - which some arms of the institute absolutely have not been in the last couple of years.
And how do you want him to act after giving up a 10-point lead? Like Gailey (and I met CCG and liked him), who was, to quote a Tech grad and fan I know, "mealy-mouthed"? He's hacked off about that game and it's apparent.
Anybody who think PJ is OK with losing and doesn't care about winning doesn't know him.
I do. He hates losing more than he enjoys winning.
