One thing I've noticed about his defenses is that they're always pumped up and ready to go. Maybe that's what we really need.
Auburn held Oregon to 19 points in the BCS title game two years ago. That's doing some work.
I'm not wild about this hire, but I'm willing to see how it plays out.
Are you better or worse at your job today then you were 13 years ago?
I'm on the fence about the hire but anyone pointing to his teams from 1999 as evidence of a bad hire is being silly.
This.
He is a Tech man and a hell of a recruiter. I'll be cheering for him to do well. Back to the 4-3, with a nice group of linebackers, and good secondary pieces coming back. Get us in the top 40 scoring D and we win 10 games... If we find a consistent kicking game.
People being wary is fine, but judge him on his whole body of work instead of 2 years in the past 14.

CPJ along with Vad/JT
Here's what I said in another thread. Should have posted it here.
Jerry the Jacket wanted Roof as our head coach so I'm sure he's spanking his monkey right now to the 1999 Media Guide.
Color me unexcited. I would have preferred Charles Kelly. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this hire. There are clearly positives. Ted is a great recruiter and brings plenty of fire. But I have never seen any long term great successes in his defenses anywhere. That and the fact that had we had a PULSE of a defense in 1999, we would have won a National Championship. I can still see Woody Dantzler running in my nightmares unscathed in Bobby Dodd. I can still recall Wake Forest when they were considered on the level of Duke, go for 40+ to beat GT.
I hope PJ made the right hire here. I want PJ to succeed. I hope he rights the ship. Because if this hire doesn't work out, it's gonna be really tough being a Tech fan when everyone implodes. And they will.
Look at me repost.

You like looking at me so STFU.
Anyone know the history between CPJ and CTR?

Coached against each other in the FCS as far as I can tell. Not sure what beyond that.
