Last in the Coastal

I gave him credit for those two years. Other than that I see no reason for putting him on the mile high pedestal you have him on.



We are last in the Coastal. Last.

Nobody has him on a pedestal he doesn't belong on. We all understand that this is a bad year and that it's ultimately Johnson's responsibility. The difference is that we're not responding to it by discounting and dumping on the good/great seasons he has given us and pretending that this year is typical of his teams because any and all facts show that to very simply be false.

200 plus yards rushing to one of the worst rushing teams in the ACC? 7 of 14 third downs? 36-plus minutes ToP?

Hey, the offense was bad. But the D has to come to play, too. Field goal, TD, TD on three straight drives, even if one started at the 30, is not good. And for some reason, their best receiver was left all alone on the touchdown pass after JT's fumble.

Does the D bear all the blame? Probably not. But they do carry a significant portion of the culpability.

I guess. Maybe I'm just too influenced by the crap we had before Roof got here.

In previous years, we would have killed for a defense for which "didn't come to play" meant giving up 27 points.

"Another coach's players" is a flimsy, pathetic rallying cry for simpletons who demand blood whenever things aren't going well. And that's about the sort of idiot you'd have to be to look at last year as a fluke or this year as par for the course.

If you don't like people responding to your infantile whining by telling you that you're an infantile whiner, then perhaps StingTalk isn't the place for you. I'm sure you can find somewhere else to post about how great things would be if we only had your choice for a different coach.

And if you don't like posters responding with a different opinion than yours you obviously belong on the Hive. Why don't you head over there. I'm sure there's a Johnson love fest going on. You'd fit right in.

Who calls someone else simpleton by the way. Dumbass. öööö for brains. That's more in line with this board.
 
A quick glance at the threads H-Town has made in the last couple of years shows someone who essentially only comes to complain specifically about Johnson. "The death of this offense", "Johnson IS the problem" are a couple of the gems you'll find there. The thread he made about defensive issues last year was to assert that our woes were not with the DC but with the talent Johnson had brought in. His celebratory post following the Georgia game last year was made to commend the defense alone for the win.

Really nothing else that needs to be said about this moron. One minute spent browsing your recent threads and now I know to never bother wasting another second reading the ones you make in the future.

You actually spent time looking up my past threads?

Hahahaha

What a nerd.

This. This and This some more. Some of y'all act like perennial champ is right around the corner with any other coach. We have more of a possibility of being a perennial doormat with any other coach. Our margin for error in coaching is next to nil at GT. If you don't understand that, then you aren't paying attention.
 
This is one bad season. Now if it happens next year with the best QB Tech has had under CPJ, then I can understand firing the coach. Save the hot seat for next season.

I tend to agree with H-town. CPJ himself said we did not look like a well coached team. Since ND every team has played us differently, 8/9 in the box, blitzing the gaps, shifting before the snap, attack, attack, attack. So far, we have no answers. We are particularly inept after the half, when other coaches adjust and we don't.

We have usually started 4 of 5 starting OLs from last year. Its hard to believe that they forgot how to play. I think it is much more about what other teams are doing.

PJ needs to be on the hot seat for this. He has the UGA game to win back my support. But this has been, except for last year, par for the course. This is a typical Paul Johnson year and is where we have been trending.

1. Thomas has regressed to the point that he is a third string QB. For every good play he makes there are two or three head scratchers that are WTF plays. Last year he had the talent around him to hide those mistakes. This year they are glaringly obvious. The fumble on the 20 and the overthrow for a touchdown this game. Taking us out of FG range against FSU. Not pretty.

2. The OL remind me of the poon squad from a few years back. A bunch of ankle biters. Utterly embarrassing.

2. ABs can't block. Young bunch but that still isn't an excuse.

3. WRs just can't seem to catch. If Jeune and Summers are starters then we have some serious problems at the spot. We really miss Smelter here.

4. Skov looks like Tarzan. Plays like Jane.

This season is not Roofs fault. His D plays. This is all on PJ and his crappy offense. How is it that every person on offense looks like they haven't been coached one bit after high school. That was a bunch of high school players I saw running around today. Embarrassing.

Last in the coastal is what we deserve. We are no better than that.

Totally agree. But at this point I don't see a way ahead. There's always next year. The kids play hard, blah blah. Preferring winning over losing is not good enough. Somehow we've got to get better. But there's always next year. Glad we've got a week off. We need it.

Nor was last year. Our program, with this coach, is a 6-7 win program over the long haul. This year is regression to the average

Our school is a 6-7 win program over the long haul. Paul Jonhsons record at GT is not only above the average, it's also the best of any coach since Bobby Dodd, 50+ years ago.

I agree with you here. I know there are issues on D and Roof isn't perfect, but If the offense doesn't have TOs or holds onto the ball for any amount of time, the D would have held them probably closer to 17 points. This D with last year's O woulda been great, but that's life.

I don't believe this. We've had success with multiple coaches at Tech in the last 30 years. We've also had disasters as well. But to say that one man can only have success here downplays the success others have had.

Pre-2002 I felt the same way.
