Heard Kincaid mention a few minutes ago that CPJ was scheduled to be on 680 the fan tomorrow morning at 8:30. Should be interesting, hopefully he will give us an update on progress of putting his coaching staff together!:D
 
I heard the interview this morning and it got me pumped just to hear some of his thoughts. PJ said that he will find a medium between his days in Hawaii's offense and Navy's offense. Said he will not run as much as he did at Navy but will not pass as much as he did in Hawaii. Asked if he feels he could put up points against BCS schools? He answered by saying he has played 29 BCS schools and have averaged like 30 points. Gave examples of piling up 400 yards against Wake and putting up over 40 against Duke. He then went on to say if we can do that at Navy with slower and smaller guys imagine what we will do at Tech with Bigger and faster guys. When asked about staff he was quite mum. Said it was a possibility for Tenuta, but didn't go into to much detail. He said a few more thing, but these are what stuck out. Sorry if grammar or spelling is off.

wonder why that is not translating well to the Chris Jackson's and AJ Jenkins of the world?
 
Just to reiterate what another poster said in another thread. PJ actually average 37 points against BCS teams with Navy.

Perception is reality. Until we see the product on the field, we only have recent history to go on. And recruits (17-18 yos) are only looking at recent history.

BTW, is Jackson still wavering? I thought he was planning on meeting with CPJ?
 
He met with Johnson and Giff Smith last night, and his official visit is scheduled for this coming weekend.

His meeting did not go that well according to Rivals. He is very concerned about his fit with the triple option. Additionally, Drew Little will not be able to come to GT now...so that has him bummed as well.

AJ Jenkins canceled his visit where he was going to re-commit to GT and says he is now headed to Illinois.

It is just going to take some time for kids to see exactly what PJ is going to do at GT.

And to reiterate what I said in another thread, he was 11-18 (.379) in those BCS team games where he averaged 37 points.

Stats suck when they only tell half the story.

You have to extrapolate to make them worth it, though. If you're trying to understand the productivity of his offense, then you need to compare what Tech would have gotten vs those guys under Gailey to what Navy got under PJ, ideally vs the same teams.

So, what does that say about Navy's defense? Would you compare Navy's defense to GT's?
Obviously, they're not even close. GT's defense is in the top 20 (against superior opponents), and navy's defense is in the bottom 10.

What story does that tell you?

It says Navy had the scheme on offense (not the Talent, which they do not have) to score alot of points, but they don't have the athlete nor the scheme on defense to hold teams to a respectable amount.

It could also mean they're getting way behind in most of those games and scoring a lot of "mop up" points against 2nd and 3rd teamers.

just playin' devil's advocate

Decent point, but they weren't blown out at all last year, at least not to the point where their only scores were against 2nd and 3rd teams.

Could mean, but it doesn't. The only BCS teams Navy ever got significantly behind this year were Wake and Rutgers, and Navy did not score any garbage points in either game.

However, there are several misleading things in the stats that are being thrown around regarding Navy vs. BCS.
  • 37 points/game was calculated for 2007 only, not PJ's whole career at Navy, so Navy did not post a losing record while scoring that amount.
  • Their record this year against BCS teams was 3-2, avg score BCS 43.4, Navy 37.6
  • Those numbers include some points scored in overtime
  • In regulation only, ignoring overtime points, avg score was BCS 38.8 Navy 32
  • The previously quoted record for PJ's entire career at Navy is not accurate, the complete count is 11-20
  • However, the record includes 7 losses by PJ's first team that went 2-10 in 2002, so taking that out the total is a more respectable 11-13
  • Year-by-year records: 2007 (3-2), 2006 (3-3), 2005 (1-4), 2004 (3-1), 2003 (1-3), and 2002 (0-7)
