7. Paul Johnson: The triple option once dominated the college game. It died in the 1980s of obsolescence -- or so we thought. For the last two decades, the option has been the booster seat that allowed the service academies to sit at the table with the big boys. Johnson turned the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy into his personal doorstop while at Navy. In his first year at Georgia Tech, Johnson proved an offense based on the option can beat the big boys. The Chick-fil-A Bowl loss to LSU may have been ugly, but it doesn't diminish what Johnson and the Yellow Jackets hath wrought. The option is back.
