Johnson to retire

[LeonardWood]

We should have fired the asshole years ago. Good riddance.

Is it too late to say it here?

Miserable öööö

 

[Ptjackets]

If we wanted to go for a Tech alum, hand the reigns over to Calvin Johnson. I trust him to figure it out, plus he’d give us a recruiting bump.

Hire Calvin Johnson as HC
Joe Hamilton as OC
Pat Swilling as DC
Then maybe we could recruit some kids
OR...Payton Manning as HC? That would open the flood gates!

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

please

Consider it done, Comrade

I bet CPJ is Navy’s coach in 2020.

After we hire away Coach Ken?

 

[MeatWrench]

Boy. The öööötards are really gonna pour out of the woodwork for this CPJ feeding frenzy.

Yea he is the best coach since Bobby Dodd!

 

[ThisIsAtlanta]

Who's deciding? Zulu or Crew?

@GTCrew, can you give us your best impression of gtzulu discussing this question? I think that'll settle it for me.

 

[killerB]

CPJ to be Mack Brown's OC/HC in waiting?

 

[DaltonJacket]

Also, maybe I won't have to listen to sports radio talk about the SECCG nonstop for a few days. Nice diversion.

This!! Thank you CPJ for jumping on this grenade!

Yeah but would they be well coached.

My first takes:
- I'm as frustrated as the average fan with where we are, but I have an unabashed love for CPJ. Just disclosing my bias.
- CPJ's combo of (a) chip-on-his-shoulder personality + (b) differentiated offensive scheme to mask inferior raw talent is/was a perfect fit for our school. I mean, look at all of you unhappy know-it-alls.
- The 2014 Orange Bowl wasn't that long ago. Our most successful season since 1990. Only one better was 2010 Orange Bowl loss, also CPJ. That's a long time. I'd gladly take the losing seasons in exchange for those special years, as would about 85% of the programs out there. So yeah, I'm nervous.
- We have clear structural issues in the school (majors, curriculum, flexibility, priorities) and athletic department ($$, alumni/fan base, obligations) that are significant hurdles. My impression that CPJ has done damn well considering all those, and layer Bobinski's tenure on top of that... maybe I'm wrong?
- George Godsey sounds great - Young assistant, offensively-minded, beloved here and I'm sure our fan base would give him a longer leash to de-option the program than anyone else. But he's been in the NFL for 6 years. Just playing the odds, I'm not sure the NFL-to-college transition has been very successful for most. And I hate to say this, but does that hire sell season tickets?
- We have a major attendance problem. If we're going to improve as a program, that has to change, and a lot of it (not all) starts with the hire. I flew down for the Miami game this year and we had to have 20,000 empty seats. 10,000 seats x $50 avg net x 6 games = $3MM net a year. Woof.
- On the other hand, CPJ wasn't a spring chicken, he loves golf, and so it's not like he had another 15 years in him. Maybe he saw where we are, saw the resources and time needed to turn it around, and said might as well hand over the program to the right guy now.
- Right now, I feel a lot more like when O'Leary left than when Gailey was fired.

Fingers crossed.

Wait, is he retiring this season or the end of 2019?

Looking forward to signing 1* players this off season if that’s the case.

I am already committed to having one named Shamire Justin Harrison-DJ Cage on account of the things that happened in 2014. Not even going to be close to the weirdest name in his class, even still.

I already have one named Justin Thomas (seriously).

Is rape enabling more or less toxic than cheating on your wife with floridian hookers?

This may be an important question.

Dallas news has completely cleared his name. NCAA investigated and only found a “failure to maintain an air of compliance” which is a nothingburger.

 

[GT65_UGA89]

I understand those who either never wanted CPJ here or tired of the 3O to be happy with the news.

I wanted him here, was happy with the hire, and am conflicted upon hearing this news. I enjoy the offense, but I've never understood why in 11 years we essentially never developed a passing game. There's pros and cons to just about everything.

Johnson’s long list of accomplishments at Georgia Tech includes:
• four nine-win seasons (2008, 2009, 2014, 2016) – Tech had just seven nine-win seasons in the 51 years immediately preceding Johnson’s arrival;
• two of the nine 10-win seasons in program history (2009, 2014);
• one of the five 11-win seasons in program history (2014);

Freeze stuck his dick in consenting women who were compensated for their time. And UGA fans dont care enough about us to dig through his cell phone records here.

I think the actual story was that the prostitutes weren’t for him. It was a recruiting tool.

So we're discussing the demerits of failure to stop rape from occurring versus exposing vulnerable young men to floridian hookers.

We're gonna need an expert.

 

[midatlantech]

Dude, 90% of your posts are pussy nonsense. The difference between folks like you and midatlantech is that they'll cheer on the next coach regardless of the hire while you piss your pants the first time the coach drops two games in a row.

LOL

 

[Rodzilla]

Be careful what you wish for CPJ haters ..our next coach has to do better than - -

In addition to the three ACC Coach of the Year awards (2008, 2009, 2014), eight bowl appearances (2008-14, 2016), three bowl victories (2012, 2014, 2016), three ACC title games (2009, 2012, 2014) and 75 wins, Johnson’s long list of accomplishments at Georgia Tech includes:

• four nine-win seasons (2008, 2009, 2014, 2016) – Tech had just seven nine-win seasons in the 51 years immediately preceding Johnson’s arrival;
• two of the nine 10-win seasons in program history (2009, 2014);
• one of the five 11-win seasons in program history (2014);
• six first- or second-place finishes in the ACC Coastal Division – the only other ACC teams that have finished first or second in their division as many times in the last 10 seasons are Clemson (8), Florida State (7) and Virginia Tech (7);
• leading the ACC and ranking among the top 10 nationally in rushing offense every season;
• leading the nation in rushing offense twice – 2010 (323.3 ypg) and 2014 (342.1 ypg);
• compiling seven of the top 10 seasons in school history in terms of rushing offense;
• compiling six of the top 10 seasons in school history in terms of total offense;
• scoring at least 30 points in a game 63 times (going 51-12 in those contests);
• a 9-5 record (.643) at home against nationally ranked opponents (including three wins over top 10 teams)

Where do I send my $9.95?

Already pimping

I’m not arguing that Briles is less toxic just that mentioning Briles’ toxicity while saying “hire Freeze” is quite amusing

 

[jdubjacket]

UGA 2014. Greatest game ever played. I nearly had a heart attack. Also, may name my next child Harrison as a result.

I named mine Kick-Pick.
