Not right now. They made it to the ACCCG and beat USC

(the real one) in a bowl game last year...a pretty good year in the eyes of the Bee fans.
Plus it's still early this year...they could go on a role.

I agree they had a pretty good season, but that was a beat up and dream crushed real USC team and they did not really play too well in the ACCCG...the only reason they were there occurred because of such a weak coastal. I think he gets out of this season, but and depending how this one closes, this time next year if there is not any improvement, I think talks will begin. Right now they are 2 in their division behind VT I believe, so we will see.

This is spot on, and I just don't understand it.

Every team in the 6 major conferences should have a goal at the beginning of the year to win the national championship. Obviously, this is more realistic for some more than others. However, Paul Johnson's system has proven that it just cannot win 10-11 games per year. It just won't work. If I am the Georgia Tech AD, I would at least try someone else's system- it may work, it may not. But you know Johnson's system can't do it, so how can you not try something else? At least take a chance.

I hope he continues to run a youth league offense for the next 20 years
High schools have a more complex offensive system than they do

I work with a number of GT alums and accroding to them, Johnson well liked by the GT administration and in no danger of losing his job...at least not right now. Of course, that may change after GT loses at least three more games this season (Miami, Clemson and Georgia)

I think he is a pretty good coach. I think it would be like the current Tennessee situation if GT were to move on, but I am glad to be a Tiger fan and not having to be satisfied with 7-8 wins.

win a significant bowl game at GT (but for beating Kiffin's 6-loss r-tard squad who clearly didn't give a #### last year (UNLIKE LSU and UF), he'd be 0-for).
Their offense is absolutely a gimmick that's easy to stop when a defense has time to practice for it. Recruiting has dropped significantly since he's been there because *gasp* QBs and WRs don't want to go play the triple option. Now why they can't recruit RBs and defensive players is beyond me but he isn't getting it done.

If he had a good, durable QB like he did his first couple of years they'd be fine. However in the days of high flying offenses his style will not attract the best athletes. It would seem to me GT would be the perfect program to run a full on spread, air it out type of offense. That said, the option is a beautiful thing when it works.

Practice time helps, but having athletes is much more
Sep 27, 2013, 9:49 AM
[ in reply to I've been saying it since he was hired: PJ will NOT ] |

important. You need a physical D-line that can stop them at the point of attack and some DBs that come up and make tackles on the edge.
You could've given us a full year to prep and we couldn't have stopped their offense 2-3 years ago.
I'm more optimistic this year since I'm pretty sure that our D-line can hold it's own and make some stops in the back field, but I'm still worried about containing the edge b/c our DBs can't tackle worth a crap.

The Air Force game is a bit of a head scratcher, but

GT turned the ball over 4 times. They had 450 yards and 34min TOP vs Utah (not the offense's fault they lost), and that Iowa team that shut them down had an outstanding defense that just crushed them at the LoS.

because it's not a system that translates to the NFL either

for the RB...I'm friends with Jonathan Dwyer's high school coach...Kell High School. Jonathan had an awful struggle transitioning to the NFL because that system doesn't require the RB to pass block/pick up the blitz.

Yes. They don't win enough, they aren't fun to watch

and there is a stigma attached to that type offense. That combination will keep fannies out of the seats and talented football players away and they will die a slow death until they bring in a new coach.

His biggest issue is UGA
Sep 27, 2013, 11:23 AM
|
|
He can't keep getting waxed by UGA. That 2008 win seems forever ago (and we can relate to that). Unlike Dabo, he isn't scoring major victories against others and winning 10 or more games to help offset problems against the rival.
Some say GT doesn't care that much but they DO care about beating UGA from time to time. They've gotten waxed in that game the last three or four years.
