Programs can’t grow when they lose to FCS team under any circumstances.

LOL, wait what? Here are Parker's words:


Every thought that maybe Parker knew what this year was going to be like and figured he might want to go somewhere that was going to be higher ranked so that he got more visibility with NFL scouts? It's not like the coaches could tie him to a chair and make him stay.

No, all they could do was create a plan to fit his goals and pitch the program they planned to build to him.

The new staff - in this case CBK - has been pretty critical of how things used to be done, particularly when it came to selling the school to olinemen.

There will be some personell issues outside of the coaching staff's sphere of influence. Keeping a player from transferring out certainly resides inside that sphere.

Wrong. Lots of us were concerned that we were much more likely to be worse than better if we got rid of CPJ, and that's looking pretty accurate at this point.

The settling for mediocrity thing is ööööing stupid. Everybody wants to win more games, but running off the head coach is not always the answer. In fact, it's how you end up losing to Citadel. We took a big fat dump on the only thing that's kept us relevant in the midst of a major culture shift in which our rivals dominated CFB, and decided to do a 180 purely for the sake of change.

I hope I'm wrong and Collins turns out to be the savior, but at this point he looks like Butch Jones with less talent, less fan support, and far less resources. If mediocrity means being competitive in all games not against top 3 opponents and not losing to an FCS team, sign me up.

We weren’t relevant. Hate to break that to you.

I didn’t see diminishing returns at all. We struggled to find the right defensive formula, but recruited some really strong DBs. On offense, we lost more stud running backs due to off-field crap than most teams ever have, yet still put up big numbers. 2015 was an injury-laden aberration and the past 2 years we struggled with not having the right fit at QB. Nothing that Jordan Yates wouldn’t have fixed going forward.

We'd been passed by Duke. Our offense had been relegated to QB Keepers that succeeded only due to the athleticism of TQM and TO and not remotely due to good blocking by the Sewak OL. Our passing was almost non-existent. We were predictable and 1-Dim and the decent teams we faced exposed this.

We know now that LJ wasn't going to be The Answer for PJ either. Maybe he trots out Graham instead but who knows about him either at this point? Yates hasn't stepped onto the field so who knows how he fares either?

The program had completely stagnated under PJ, as every measure of that indicates. W-Ls had stalled. Attendance dropping. $$$ coming into the program was falling. Season tix sales dropping. Bowl games like the Disaster in Detroit were our most-likely destinations, if we were able to get to 6 wins.

2014 wasn't happening again. 2016, maybe. 2018 - most likely.

PS: None of this excuses any part of yesterday that was the fault of the current staff. Inexcusable in so many phases.

Where is the proof that PJ got run off? By all accounts I've read, he voluntarily retired.

We were NOT relevant anymore under PJ. 2017-18 were 2 of the lamest years in memory, with the Detroit Disaster Bowl being about as far as we were gonna go at that point. Annual losses to Duke is NOT football relevancy.

2014 was an aberration. It wasn't going to happen again. 2017-18 was more likely to be the norm under the previous regime.

That said, PJ sure as hell knew how to blow out the cupcakes on the schedule and wouldn't have lost to the Citadel. This asinine QB Switching crap needs to stop.
 
Do I miss you? No.

The program had peaked under you. I think you knew this and decided it was time to go on your own terms. I wish you well, it was a blast while it lasted. But it was getting ugly.

Piss off. I’m a GT fan first and foremost. Season tickets for 20+ years. Going to games since the mid-80s. Will continue cheering and supporting GT long after CPJ and Coach Juice is gone. I want the team to win.

Sorry, but yesterday was a poorly coached team and performance. Pointing out that turd of a coaching performance doesn’t mean that CPJ is > than CGC. It means that CGC needs to improve. Hope that the staff can learn from it and the team improves.

Your axe to grind in every post about CPJ is pathetic.

I don't give two öööös about Paul Johnson, that dude retired.

I am not going to öööö on our players tho. Mason is a tremendous back and probably the best player on the field today, two scores cuz he made plays and was just better. Jalen Camp scored because he was straight better than his opponent. We were better at every position on the field today.

Edit. Except place kicker

I'm sorry for the immature post. I was still hot from the game. I needed 24 hours to cool off.
 
Paul had to retire.

Sewak told him if he heard one more time about “missed assignments” that he, Sewak, would not accept an extension with raises.

You can claim our player talent level ain't high enough to compete with Clemson and I'll listen... but blaming CPJ's recruiting for us losing to the Citadel is incredibly stupid. Just a casual glance at the field showed that we were like 3" taller and 25 lbs heavier than the Citadel at absolutely every position. Citadel's little white QB's were probably half as good an athlete as Jaybo Shaw was.

This loss is 100% on CGC and 0% on CPJ. This is so obvious it's bizarre it even needs to be said.
