CPJ Mad Bro

I came out of that experience thinking CPJ wanted it to fail to show those who were screaming for some pistol formation that they were wrong.

Well, he did follow the VL experiment with the best offense he fielded over his 11 year term.

This is the gift and the curse. CPJ is so revered as an offensive mind that many equate that being successful. That graph would make you believe GT was a powerhouse for a decade, but unfortunately complimentary football wasn’t in the cards. 09 is probably the only year where there was a balanced team. We were good in all 3 phases.

I am a big fan of CPJ, but the 09 team wasn’t balanced. How many games did we go without forcing a punt? By the end of the season we were just plain bad on defense.

And for this staff that is quite an accomplishment and something certainly on which to hang one's hat.

Your butthurt at not having CPJ here is monumental. I loved the last few seasons he was here, especially when we were reduced to running QB keepers and falling down against Clemson and UGAg because the DE's on each side shut down any outside option runs by getting past our OL in 0.5 sec and had the DT tackling our BB at the same instant the QB and BB meshed. It was so much fun watching that. We are transitioning to a new type of offense. One without 290 lb OL's. Either give the staff time to get players in here or GTFO already.

290lb would’ve been too heavy.

Georgia Tech football: Fromayan example of focus on weight loss

Cutting out the No. 1 combo at Chick-fil-A — that’s the chicken sandwich, fries and a drink, followed by a “My pleasure” – has helped Eason Fromayan become a potential starter at offensive tackle for Georgia Tech’s football team.

Was it?

Will Bryan dropped body fat but gained weight. After weighing as much as 275 pounds with 19 percent body fat, he said he now weighs as much as 295 with 16 percent body fat.

Yeah, I was a fan and a defender until the final two seasons. We can appreciate his body of work, but it seems disingenuous to suggest he hadn't fallen off or that he left his successor with anything remotely similar to what he inherited. But we will keep on beating this horse, I guess.

Reading how little talent he left confirms that he must have been one of the greatest coaches in the history of the game. He took that talent and won 7 games before his retirement.

He went from 11 starts to 0 after getting not falling in line with the weight loss theory and found himself in the doghouse

I'm still baffled. He continued being a mainstay starter and as a Swiss Army Knife guy on the OL.

Position flexibility and all that. :ughpink:

You don’t have a point. Football Talent is having the physical & mental attributes to do certain skills in different situations. We didn’t have the physical attributes to blow people off the ball anymore. Bc of rule changes, we no longer could dominate on the perimeter due smaller RBs/slot guys, we also lacked accurate passers who could loosen up defense from crowding the LOS. This lack of football talent also caused collateral damage, as our scout team players were not accustomed to running the routes, blocking or scheme that the defense saw every weekend

There was one particular player on that defense too that was just really bad... That linebacker was def not balling

Kinda makes you look at the 2014 team and think wow. I went around screaming(not really) it was the best offense in college football and got laughed at. But I agree.

Not really. They had the same formula as all of the good CPJ teams:

1) Playmaker at QB
2) All-ACC OL with multiple 300lbers (14 avg weight was 298ish)
3) A defense that created turnovers
