Mizzou DL Coach to Miami

Welcome to Georgia Tech football. Mediocre with a few joyous seasons sprinkled in. But CPJ's joyous seasons have reached a higher level than the 3 coaches that came before him.

Believe me I know and appreciate the two great seasons Johnson has brought us. They were a blast. I don't expect us to ever been a perennial dominant force on a national level. I was simply calling out the people who still say "when Johnson has his players". He's got his players.

Regarding the big cry, that's fine, I'm not sure I complained as much as calling out nonsense. But the fact that I'm explaining myself is worthy of two big cries.

Fair enough. The "wait until he gets his players" argument is about 4 years too late, so I won't use that. The mediocrity of OL play during his entire tenure has been his biggest recruiting failure, IMO.

However, CPJ has earned the excuse of one season worth of "too many injuries" that we saw in 2015. If he rights the ship and gets back to 8 wins this year, all is forgiven. But two more losing seasons and he's probably gone.
 
If one continually depends on every 1st teamer to stay healthy all year long in the current environment that is college football, then speaking from a delusionist's point of view, I suppose we should agree. However, sensible/reasonable/realistic football fans in general realize that an injury free season would be an anomaly. Without capable replacements, even the better teams are doomed to mediocrity. That's just the landscape. The key is to recruit quality, not quantity and the 2 major sports at GT haven't been doing a very good job of getting quality lately.

The F$U Miami games should be interesting.

But all you guys worried about us with Mendenhall, Richt,etc. Need to grow a pair. When CPJ has full roster of guys who can run his offense and when Roof isn't playing with bandaids and duct tape, I'll put the Ramblin Wreck up against anybody.

2014 wasn't a fluke, it was a taste.

It was a fluke, almost as big a fluke as us beating FSU this year to avoid being 2-10.

The way you said that sounded cool.

Are you sure you're a Tech fan?

Sure, every team has injuries. I'd argue that we had an inordinate amount of injuries though, which forced us to play many players who would have been redshirted/not on the field if we simply had a normal amount of injuries. Not saying that entirely accounts for our 3-9 record, but it certainly contributed to it.
