I want to see Tech win 9 or 10 games every season and be competitive in every game.
This is reasonable and puts us in a position to have great seasons when the ball bounces our way to turn the losses into wins.
Decent bowls in most years, great bowls in the special years.
I think that Paul Johnson can build a program that can do this.
The offense gives us an advantage, we just aren't running it worth an absolute crap right now. I do not like our chances running the UGA offense against UGA. The same goes for VT, Miami, and Clemson.
His approach to redshirting helps overcome the recruiting disadvantage, same goes for the walk-on program. Look at this year's R-Sr's (Finch, Watts, Thomas, Sims, Cummings, Godhigh, Dieke, Beno). Next year's R-Sr's (Naly, Bostic, Perkins, Days, Hill, S. Green). There's a lot of production from a few guys who'd have burned a redshirt under other coaches chasing down punts their freshman year. Godhigh produces more than anybody on the offense, it costs nothing to roll the dice on some walk-ons and put a little emphasis on picking up guys that ran the offense in high school, live in Georgia, and qualify for HOPE.
GT is about the best opportunity that CPJ will be given, so he's not going to stepping-stone us like any young, super talented coach would. CPJ is about the best coach we can attract, as better coaches will head to better programs with less restrictions.
Not sure what is going wrong this year, but the offensive line is way underperforming and even when they play well, the offense struggles under Vad. Meanwhile, Roof has the defense playing well. If you paired this defense with any of the previous offenses, we're sitting pretty.
I'm glad he's got the protection of his contract and there's no way he's gone after this year and likely next. If next year's offensive line (Bailey?, Mason, Joe, O'Reilly, Braun, Chamberlain, Roberts) can gel, I'm looking forward to seeing what shakes out at QB. Smelter, Perkins, Days, Bostic, Snoddy, Andrews, etc should put as much talent on the field as we've had since the superfriends.
Maybe he was gifted a lot of talent and lost focus on recruiting, but I'm liking the class we're putting together this year, plus R. Jeune, S. Devine, P. Davis, F. Kallon?, B. Hankins, M. Allen, A. Gotsis, D. Andrews, D. White, J. Hunt-Days, C. Milton, D. Smith, and Snoddy all have 2-4 years left.
