He does not typically call out individual players publicly.
what coach do you know? He has called out several players for not performing up to their standards. He flat out yelled at Jamal Evans in the spring practice that he was going to run him out of his program, and he did.
I'm not saying PJ is in the wrong either, but he does tell you like it is, regardless of the situation. Last year he made statements about Dwyer being heavy. He called out Sims' lack of effort in Fall practice last year.
So yes, he does call out players publicly.
What you are forgetting is you and everyone else knocking Peek have FAILED miserably to put the quote PJ made about Peek into context, because had you done that, its pretty easy to see why he said it.
First off, does anyone remember the POS cWR coach under Gailey? When Gailey was fired, he was retained until the new coach was named. When they named PJ as coach, this guy went on a last ditch effort to ruin PJ's chances with the current players and recruits. He persoanlly had a lot to do with souring PJ with a lot of players, and he ran Chris Jackson off to Bama. One of those players was Peek.
Colin Peek was being interviewed by an Alabama paper and they were discussing his transfer from GT and asked him specifically about GT. Colin said something to the effect of, "Well, they wanted me to play receiver!" Which was what our former WR coach under Gailey was telling Peek, not PJ. Did Peek kind of act like a douche about it? Sure he did, but not to any extraordinary extent where our fanbase should be pissed at him.
After that statement, the AJC and all the ATL radio stations were doing bits on Paul Johnson having defections and basically trying to create a story that didn't exist. So Paul Johnson in defending that he wasn't having a complete meltdown of taking over another coaches teams, fired back with several comments, one being the Colin Peek comment. He was pissed that these dirtbags at the AJC and the radio stations were trying to make a story out of nothing. It had nothing to do with Peek.
And of course our entire overly sensitive fan base held it against Colin Peek that he would say such things to PJ! How dare he!
Give me a break, Peek was a TE and PJ's offense doesn't have TE's. Again... why are you pissed about it?
