[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 953334, member: 630"] You are posting on the wrong board. For some reason, not based on fact, a huge percentage on this board believe that Paul Johnson was great and left the program in great shape. The facts don't support that view, nor do the majority of posters on some other boards. However, your view is correct. Few of the offensive skills of the option translate to the offenses every FBS team uses. Further, 8 defensive starters from Johnson's last team graduated--and his defenses were not good even with a clock burning offense that kept them rested on the sidelines. The December signing date meant that Collins could not bring in recruits with the proper skill sets his first year (like on OL, which was the biggest need, and they were able to sign no one). Then COVID hit, which hurt recruiting. To your point, Collins wasn't the right guy, but who could have done significantly better with the available talent? Johnson's recruiting was never good and got worse toward the end. When he lost his starting QB and saw that the cupboard was bare on D, he said I think I'll retire now. Kelly Quinlan made the point in an interview this week that Johnson's OL wasn't good the last two years-- even for his offense. Johnson walked into the most talented team ever at Tech. He left behind one of the least talented. I said when he was hired that he would run the program into the ground. And he did. [/QUOTE]
