Ye olde coachinge debates

Agreed - McKee was a tough act to follow. You gotta feel bad for Coach Heisman, trying to walk in those footsteps.

Snort. Are you kidding me? His tie was against Furman, and he got us blacklisted by the S.I.A.A. for "professionalism".

Actually it was George Andree who inherited that dumpster fire, but McKee is responsible for Tech going 0-6-2 in '02. And I'm NOT letting this go...

All I got to say is they don't make them like ol' Coach Leonard Wood anymore. He didn't need social media to recruit. Bet CLW could teach these young guys a thing or two, even at nearly 160 years old.

Oh come on if it wasn't for inheriting players off coach E.E. West 1892 team he would not have won those 2 games in 1893

Ernie West ran a service academy offense (graduated from the Naval Academy in 1888). Didn't even play uga, much less beat them!

We need to ask @ Supersizethatorder-mutt I'm sure he had season tickets back then. He is pretty old.

Supersize is a relative young pup compared to me. I was there when Heisman won the national championship in 1917 hence my Nom de guerre.

There is certainly a cult surrounding Johnson, and that will likely never change.

There was one around Bela Lugosi, too. (OK, lighten up. I am a Johnson guy, but that was low hanging fruit and a I took a shot.)

He didn’t like the fact that they weren’t wearing gold then, so he didn’t go to games.

Heisman and Dodd have awards named after them Leonard Wood has an entire fort named for him.

Now that is funny

Bad thoughts I took basic training at Fort Leonard Wood

They didn't wear blue either. LOL

Is he first to do it?

Yes, CPJ and Dodd are the only ones to do that.

We were rarely in the wrong play. Also how many games started with the first offensive play going for a touchdown. Then how many first drives. I get you hate the man but trying to pretend he isnt one of the greatest minds to ever coach thr game would be basically like denying the same thing about belechik because you hate him.

We were rarely in the wrong play? According to who?

whether or not we were in the 'wrong play' is directly correlated to the quality of our opponent. Not surprisingly, we never had any first-play-TDs against teams that were worth a damn. Those plays occurred against the FCS trash on the schedule. Whooppity do.

I take nothing away from CPJ as an offensive mind. Problem is, football isn't a chess match, but an athletic competition.

If everyone is playing checkers, then clearly the game IS checkers. So trying to instead play another game, like chess, is asinine.

So full of hate.

We had a first play td against a vandy team that beat uga that year.
