Paul Johnson’s affect on the rivalry
It’s safe to say that Mark Rich didn’t have a positive affect on the rivalry unless you’re a Georgia Tech fan. Richt went 13-2 against the Yellow Jackets which really stretched out the Bulldogs lead. As a Georgia fan, you expected to beat Tech. As an outside, you expected Georgia to win. But as a Tech fan, you were hungrier than ever for a win over the Bulldogs.
But how about Paul Johnson’s affect on the rivalry? As the ninth head coach for Georgia Tech since the retirement of the legendary Bobby Dodd, he was and is the latest man tasked with restoring Tech to their former glory.
