I saw it here a while back...anybody got a link? thanks in advance- F- UGAG!!!!:biggthumpup:
 
nevermind- road to 100..just found it. If you have not watched it or want some confidence in our new coach, Watch it. Don't have a link but youtube search road to 100, GREAT video. Can't wait to see the product that he will bring to Tech!
 
Interestin' factoid: Youngstown St. coach was none other than Jim Tressel, who jumped directly from I-AA to I-A.

Video of the other championship against Montana was pretty cool. Navy v. Notre Dame on NBC.com is awesome too and takes less than 30 min. to watch.

One thing I noticed from the Navy videos. PJ has historically has had an explosive return game on ST's.

I think this is because (1) he tends to have a plethora of shifty A-back types on his roster, one of whom is bound to be a good return guy, (2) his A-backs, WRs, & OL are rigorously trained to make blocks in space. This skill translates beautifully into the return game. Watch some old Navy games on cstv and you'll see what I mean. NFL coaches have commented on how well trained PJ's guys are at this. (3) his unique organizational approach to ST's. Watch Jeff Monken interview on ramblinwreck.com to hear about this. PJ forces the whole team and every coach to have ownership on every ST unit. Very clever way to go about ST's.

Regarding a great return game, a short field is a ############ to any offense. However, it gets really tough to stop PJ with a short field because he gets very aggressive in his playcalling. Also PJ will frequently go for it (and almost always make it) on 4th down when he has decent field position.

I am hoping we combine the improved punt/kick off coverage we had under Coach Kelly with a dynamic return game.
 
I watched the Navy vs ND game then the GSU vs YSU game and one thing that stood out was how many more ND defenders there where wide by the time the QB and AB got wide of the LOS compared to YSU. ND defense sucked and they were in good position to make plays nearly everytime the TO went wide. Navy was still able to gets good yardage most times because ND can't tackle as we all know. But it scared me a little because if that was VPI, a lot of those 8 yard runs would have been 3 yarders. I'm sure there are wrinkles CPJ can throw in if that starts happening but we'll see.

Thankfully, we'll also have Dwyer and GT players instead of Navy players.

YSU and GSU were at the same talent level when they played each other and YSU had a future hall-of-fame coach. After seeing that, I'm very encouraged about what PJ can do at Tech.
