Official argue about the old coach thread

The man did what he was hired to do, as far as I can tell, to the best of his ability. Whether he should've been hired is another matter but that's not his fault.

I believe Marshall killed the option deader than dead for much of the fanbase, myself included. If I ever start missing it, I will go back and watch some of those games.

Marshall was a killer. He would have great games where he did what he was coached (staying close to the line). Then he would fall back into bad habits like arching along the line to get more time on the read, but it would jack up the spacing taking the a back out of the play. Jekyll and Hyde from game to game.
 
If we hired back George O’Leary would we have been better off, same, or worse than if we went with Chan and Paul Johnson?

I can’t think of any coaches who returned that turned out well. Even the SHW was a shadow of himself.

Duke is one of the hardest places to play in the league. Said never by CPJ......

I remember the last several times CPJ went to Duke and got is arse handed to him. I remember the last time it got so bad he engaged with Duke fans right behind his bench. I love PJ, but that was embarrassing. His team was getting boat raced and he’s jawing with Dook fans….

In an effort to clean up all football threads going forward, keep arguments about the old coach here.

Feel free to argue about the current staff elsewhere.

Like/hate the old offense -> here
Like/hate new offense -> elsewhere
Old coach + older coach’s players -> here
Hypotheticals old coach + new players -> here

Liked the old offense - except when it didn't work.
Like the new offense - except when it doesn't work.
Liked the old coach and his players - except when they were losing
Like the new coach and his players - except when they are losing
 
I don't get it. Who wants to argue about Bobby Dodd?

They can't, it would force them to evaluate the current coach. It is better to dwell on the past than face the now apparently.

Or we could just bitch about the new coach winning 2iar against Duke, which CPJ was incapable of at the end of his tenure.

Well let's just give him a lifetime automatically renewing contract now, he beat Duke twice in a row.

Something your hero CPJ couldn't do at the end of his career and yet your loins tingle thinking about him.

He did it at the beginning of his tenure; just like Collins has; so why are you getting so wet about it?
