Same players? The only returning production is Mason and Howard.

4 of the top 5 rushers last year are still on the team. Oliver, Mason, Howard, and Cottrell. Oliver led the team in touchdowns, Marshall led the team in total yards.

We were not one of the best offenses last year

I'm glad you caught that

Part of the long lasting damage done by PJ is the Tripl-Oh Delusion where our fans confuse rushing yards with good Offense and good solid balanced FB

We have never been a great offensive team under PJ (I dropped the C because he quit coaching & doesn't deserve that C anymore)

Like the guy you responded to he's deluded into thinking that GT's Offense under PJ was on par with Oklahoma's under Lincoln Riley

We have a LOT of GT Fans suffering from Tripl-Oh Delusion, sad thing is there's no cure, maybe heavy drinking on Saturdays, maybe watching games where announcers fawn all over Cutcliffe & the job he's done at Dook, but other than that there's no cure that I'm aware of

We won an Orange Bowl with that offense - not our lousy defense. Our defense was garbage under CPJ, but his offenses were great. Never have more people talked about a Georgia Tech offense than under CPJ. The great Bill Belichick even came to watch CPJ coach his offense in the offseason.

You’re a clown.

The folks on here who are crapping on CPJ’s legacy are either not Tech fans or ungrateful twats who have no perspective on how great the CPJ years wererelative to the norm at Tech.
 
offense is bad, but they've given themselves (and some fans have bought into) an excuse about "transition." No FBS team is this bad. The injuries on the line and departure of Braun hurt a lot, but not last place a lot. Collins is just waiting for the right time to pounce. Maybe we could hire Elliot away from Clemson for the right price and title. People seemed to slobber all over him as a potential HC.

All this might be true, but CPJ would be 3-1 with this team, not 1-3.

Cottrell's position no longer exists and Oliver isnt a qb for this kind of offense. We returned virtually zero experience throwing or catching passes

It is not Cottrell's decision to keep him off the field; but the fact remains that 4 out of 5 of our top rushers last year returned even if you and Buzzfelthimself don't want to admit it.
 
In 2014 we were one of the most efficient offenses since they started tracking that stat. Better than Chip Kelly's Oregon teams. Better than Baylor under RG3.

Why keep repeating this as if true? There is nothing defensively under CPJ says we would stop USF and we definitely would have been +7 underdog to Temple who is equivalent to Pitt on last yr schedule

There was no guarantee Benson would return and Braun was definitely leaving and based on the noise on campus. The transfer portal was going to be hit with guys like Graham and Sanders
 
Yall too worried about ifs, ands,buts, and could ofs. I'm concerned with what is, it is, what it is, after all.

not sure why there's such a disconnect here. Anyone who watched us play Clemson, Duke, Pitt, mutts and Minnesota and thinks that offense was 'one of the best' is delusional.

Not coincidentally, the blocking was terrible last year - people here complained about it relentlessly and that was in year 11 of the prior scheme.

True, in reality all of us knew that a day of reckoning was coming when we left the high school offense. I really did not think it would be this bad though

I am a big fan of Nate and hoped he would find a role in the new O, but he was given a shot to earn time in the slot but a true freshman was better. And again, we returned no one with double digit completions or receptions.
 
The past is the past. I loved CPJ offense but its gone so let's talk about now. I don't care if you are retooling or whatever, it takes work to get to these kind of numbers. And its not like we have played top defenses. We have played Temple, South Florida and Citadel for goodness sakes. Losing Braun hurt but there is no excuse for this ineptitude. Poor Todd, I can truly say I'm glad I don't have his job right now.
 
Here's a stat. Citadel just lost to Samford.

We all knew it was going to be a rough transition year, and 1-11 was a possibility we were willing to live with in order to finally rip off the bandaid and transition back to a more typical offense. We also knew this year would have been a bad year for CPJ with the offensive line being depleted and having 2 OL commits in as many years to reload it. Then we swapped our best OL for a Vandy transfer and lost remaining starters to injuries. So the OL is awful, and it should be awful. It'll take 2 years to fill that gap with recruiting unless we land some grad transfers. We all get that.

What I find maddening is the unwillingness to accommodate that with screens, bootlegs, play-action passes and (gasp) options. All this after hearing over and over how this is both an NFL-style offense and an offense based on players instead of scheme. It sure doesn't feel like CGC/PNode knew what they were saying when they uttered those words over and over. It feels like our game planning is to do vanilla reps all week in practice, then watch Mike Leach film from 10 years ago 1 hour before kickoff and try to execute that in real time, no matter who our players are and what they can do.
