Coach Johnson deserves to be chosen.

Well Deserved

Is this an attempt to ignore GTFletch’s thread on the same subject? If so, I’m in.

I’m going to have to do that too. Still unsure why he’s allowed to post anymore.

Also, I would love to see Paul Johnson inducted into the HOF. I have no ill will towards the man. Brought a few really exciting moments to the Flats.

I wonder what the NotCoachJohnson Twitter has to say about this ....

Will PJ make Bark Madley eat a sack lunch off his taint at his induction? Will he take a ball peen hammer to Beamer?

Will he punch a dwag fan in the face? Will he say "Go Jackets!" to the greeter at Wal-Mart?

CPJ is an offensive genius.

I’ll always favor Fridge and Joe Ham in entertainment value.

But CPJ is better by any measure. He absolutely destroyed defenses that had better talent.

The UGA game in Athens against Stafford his first year, the ACC Championship over Clemson, and the Orange Bowl against Mississippi St. were just awesome.

He would have been a great OC at the NFL level too.

He belongs in the CFB Hall of Fame.
