Johnson reflects on the train wreck that was Collins

[Longestdays]

CPJ could not tell the lies required when running a "ghost" season to recruits and to the men on the team. It would have got out anyways causing all kinds of issues.

Favorite quote:
“Hopefully, it sounds like the president’s getting involved and some people are getting involved and they’ll fund (the program),” he said. “They’ve got to fund it, no matter what they do. If they don’t fund the program, it’s going to be a struggle for whoever.”

This is the crux of the matter and what I preached to fellow Tech fans before and after CPJ. Proper funding could make even a mediocre coach (like Key) decently successful. Now imagine an actual good coach with proper funding. More ACCCGs would follow.

FINALLY we get to hear CPJ's thoughts. He kept it classy, but at the same time, it was pretty brutal.....as it should be

You would get butthurt if you knew his thoughts on Key.

Will certainly make some time for this

3 years of a completely incompetent coach crapping on his tenure….he was pretty damn merciful. Do you still spoon Collins when he cries at night?

I’m not sure Key was referring to CPJ when he said that. IIRC he said “we didn’t come here to play small ball” in reference to GT not being a step down from Alabama.

He parroted all the crap Collins spewed.

How prescient. Too bad you weren’t around to help hire all of our coaches.

Yeah, I'm sure you know what his thoughts are.

DRad absolutely wanted CPJ gone and tried to "starve" him out both in support and financially. 2014 saved CPJ.

You are right in that Stan did not run CPJ out. CPJ saw the negativeness build in the fan base (example: fire CPJ from the frat window and the giant clown sign in the stands) and knew the time was right for him. I don't know many who say Stan ran him out of town. Stan did fund Collins better (or the boosters did, one or the other).

Roof was not his pick but the boosters.

Yada Yada... you know this... hate knows no truth.

DRad hired CPJ and was gone before the 2012 season ended.

MBob wanted PJ gone, not DRad.

Total Bullshit. Who asked for the new indoor and got it? New Team meeting room, player lounge etc..
