The better question than "Can we do better than Johnson?" is "Are we likely to do better than Johnson?" There is almost surely someone out there who could do better, and you can always point to one or two coaches (Art Briles is the favorite this year it seems) having a lot of success at lesser schools. But there are a lot of coaches out there. I think Johnson is a really good coach in a tough situation, and we'd likely do worse. I also don't think this is Johnson's ceiling, because we saw how the offense ran in 2009. The offense was great in 2010 and 2011 as well. Our team has not been in sync as far as having both a good defense and offense. Contrast this with Chan--Do you really ever see us achieving great success with his vanilla everyone-runs-it pro-style offense? I lost hope with Chan, but I haven't with Johnson.
If you think Johnson is not a good coach, what specific things do you think he is doing wrong? When you listen to him he has seemed pretty cognizant of the problems--recruiting, defense, etc. You might say he's stubborn about his offensive scheme, but it's worked pretty well in other years he's been here. If you think the problem is recruiting, do you think some other coach is going to come into Tech and do a magic dance and suddenly get 5* recruits?
