Except these two things are wholly unrelated. Increasing the flexibility in recruiting would help every coach, period. You can't add that as a qualifier to this discussion.I posted this in this thread what i think is achievable if we get a little leniency on admissions and find the right coach.
Fail.I don't think that GT has inferior athletes, the problem is you have an offensive system that has not changed since CPJ has been there.
I'd love to hear who you think we can get as a coach and what your realistic expectations are of the program given limited curriculum choices, APR requirements, and the Hill micromanaging our recruiting.
Seriously... until Paul derails the program, which he hasn't, were ööööing stupid for firing him for losing to a UGA team which has had one of the best 10-12 year windows of success in its entire history.
I hate UGA too and I hate losing this game. But you're trying to politic something you aren't clearly thinking through. Give PJ some additional support rope to recruit and see what happens. Next year's schedule doesn't allow for PJ to hide his lack of recruiting. If we need to make a change, it will be evident in my opinion next year based on those results.
Until GT changes from being a pickup truck trying to win the Daytona 500, there is no need to fire the driver. If GT were to make the structural changes that benefits the Institute as a whole and the byproduct would be better athletics, and the result is the same as it is now, then yes...I could support a change in coaches.
But until then, I say we stick with CPJ and the results he brings us.
GO JACKETS!!

All of your posts say one thing only: I LIKE TO LOSE.
Paul Johnson is not GT's saviour. He is a football coach that has been highly mediocre except for one season with someone else's recruits.
In a counter point to your bass ackward logic, we could also go the same route as Vandy, Duke and Stanford. One school beat the Dwags this year and another is top ten and the other leads the Coastal. But I guess it's easy to dismiss winning when you accept failure so easily or when your team sucks worse than Duke.

No, it's not silly. It's the mark of a good season. Mark Richt has kept his job through bad years by beating us. Same would go for Johnson.Next year if PJ fails to get 7 wins which based on the schedule is highly likely. We play ND and FSU to go along with the same old foes, then that to me is evident that we are not recruiting well enough. That may be a coaching issue, but its a Hill issue first and foremost. Unfortunately, I just don't see PJ surviving with a losing record next season if we don't beat UGA Saturday. That may sound silly but beating UGA this week and all sins are forgiven.
By a lot too. The fire Paul Johnson at all costs crowd has lost their minds.Didn't we beat duke?!

We beat Duke, dumbass. Not to mention their OOC schedule is NC Central, Navy, Memphis, and Troy and they avoided Clemson and FSU and got Miami after Duke Johnson got hurt.
We could go 10-2 with their schedule too.
We play ND and FSU in 2015. 2014 schedule is light:
out of conference:
wofford
at tulane (now a bowl team)
at uga
georgia southern (now a fbs team)
atlantic:
at NC State
Clemson
