If half of the teams we play are better than us how did we go 11-3 in 2014 and 9-4 in 2016? Thats the same coach and the players he recruited. Your schtick is getting old.

A big part of the reason Roof is gone and Woody is here is time of possession. My understanding is that CPJ wants a defense that gets off the field, either by making the stop, or less preferably by letting the other team score quickly. CPJ wants his offense on the field developing a rhythm wearing down the other team's defense while the opposing offense chills on the sideline. With Roof's defense it was too often our offense chilling on the sideline while the opposing offense developed a rhythm. Roof's defense had its moments, it won us the Pitt game last year, but it wasn't a good fit for what CPJ wants to do. More succinctly, no more bend but don't break defense.

Our paltry passing game last year had more to do with personnel than the offensive philosophy.

I think the Roof experiment was to limit possessions. Both teams slowly moving the ball cut probably 4 possessions per game. We were banking on being more efficient.

IMO, it didn’t work. I agree with you. We should do better by gaining more possessions and wearing down the other D.

Let's hope.

Giving up a TD in one play is way better than giving it up in 10 plays.
 
I remember the 2010 uga game. Tevin got stuffed in the 2nd to last drive so they got the ball back on our 18. Rather than letting them milk the clock (they were up by 1 with a minute 38 left), CPJ told the defense to stand down on the 2nd play of the drive after taking a timeout. I remember uga players celebrating the touchdown until they realized they just gave the ball back with a minute 20 left and up by 8. If it had worked it would have been genius but Tevin threw an interception on uga 33.

When that game ended I left without a word. Just put on my coat and took a winter walk. Wound up taking me about 2 miles to cool down.

Dude. We were better than Miami at coral gables last yr.
We lost on the scoreboard but we blew two chances to put away game and everyone knows the silly tipped pass of the helmet on 4th and long.

You can't stand cpj... that's fine and your prerogative but please stick to the facts

He made the right call, we just didn’t finish it. That’s football. Richt is sitting about 10 sigma worth of good luck on us.

Richt, to his credit, openly admitted that CPJ outcoached him on that "free TD" play in the post game interview. Unfortunately, we couldn't close the deal but I appreciated Richt's candor.
 
Are you two gonna jerk each other off when CPJ retires?
