Yet another CPJ vs CGC thread

[Northeast Stinger]

A Paul Johnson recruit, no less.

Nah! Couldn’t be. He couldn’t recruit and left the program in horrible shape.

Certain fans: “Paul Johnson can’t recruit pro material.”

Paul Johnson: “If you are good enough the pros will find you.”

The NFL is full of talent that worked their way into the league and stayed there having long careers.

This may be the wrong thread, so the mods may relocate it.

I am in Norway sightseeing and visiting friends. In a quirky moment yesterday I saw someone I assumed to be a tourist wearing a GT cap and stopped him to chat. He lives in Oslo! He asked me what I thought about coach Key and I said I am optimistic. He concurred. He added that Collins was a bad choice to follow Johnson, but wondered if anyone could have been successful with that transition. I have had that same thought during these past few seasons in spite of wanting Collins gone. Am I the only one?

Collins 2021 team would’ve made a bowl with literally anyone else coaching them.

Key goes 9-3 with that team.

Imagine Paul coaching them? Jahmyr, Jordan, Dontae, and Sims in the triple O? **** would’ve gone down.

You forgot Tobias Oliver, James Graham and later Yates, though he wasn’t there in 2018.

Sims wouldn’t have lasted in that offense

Why are we comparing a Hall of Fame coach with a hall of shame coach?

I agree and always thought that these threads were demeaning to CPJ oddly enough. It is similar to comparing myself as a golfer to Scottie Scheffler. Yes, we both play golf but that is pretty much where the similarities end.

 

[stinger78]

He’s not being compared. There is no comparison. It’s called reminiscing and highlighting some of the rather inane comments that were made about said HOF coach.

Oddly enough, there were many who were ready for Dodd to retire when he did. They felt he was too conservative. Human condition, I suppose, to think grass looks greener elsewhere.

No.......Collins was horrible as a head coach.

Because we like beating a dead horse, I’ll pick up a whip and join in.

ANYBODY who know ANYTHING about FOOTBALL know that if Brent Key had taken over from CPJ we would not have had a single losing season. We would have gone seamlessly from one disciplined culture to another with a coach who gets the most out of the material at hand.

I believe so, too.

I agree but Key wasn't getting hired then. Lack of HC experience (imo). If there is a bright spot to the previous reign of despair is that it set in motion the chain of events that has lead to Key being our coach now. He was in the right place at the right time. Then made the most of his opportunity.

Agree. It was a hypothetical statement.

I also don't believe the offense would have looked that much different to what we have now. He likely would still have gone after Faulkner.
