I intentially left off Womack's name as the headline, I do not want for it to be personal. The guy is a nice guy but, he has to go...the one guy that is an appologist and keeps defending him needs to stop.
I've said it before (dont intend to be an "I told you so guy" I just love GT and want us to be a top tier program)
I said from day one, that defense will define the Paul Johnson era 3 or 4 years out when we look back. I have no doubt, that his offense will work in the ACC and at this level. BOR had a great point though, it will NOT cut it with 250-270 lb. converted TE's, he will ultimately have to recruit the big (But still quick )boys to succeed.
I dont care if you can score at will on offense, if you cant stop the other team you will lose a lot of games and most certainly never win a championship.
With our offense in particular, it is very important to have a good defense because, as we have seen, if you can't stop the other team, (PJ commented on this point) it changes everything in his playcalling and what we run, if we are always playing from behind. (i.e. the Lsu and UM games are proof)
What we have been lacking for sometime now is that kickbutt DC (i.e. Van Gorder, Muschamp,Foster) that brings a nasty attitude to our defense and that coaches from the sideline. With a DC like that, you wouldn't see the lack of effort we saw last night, not to mention how clueless our guys were. They would have had their butts given to em over on the sideline. They would have been prepared also for the game, our guys didn't have a clue last night.
It does bother me somewhat that PJ hired Wommack, there was a reason Spurrier didn't want him. I will be optomistic though, and I hope that PJ will right the ship and get us a real DC at the end of the year. We have proven these last 2 years that we can attract good defensive recruits with Giff here, so we have hope. It is a shame though, as I like most here, were expecting bigger things this year. Hopefully PJ will not tolerate this and will make the changes soon.
GO JACKETS !!!
