Tough day for the CPJ haters

I like CPJ and hope he retires from GT years from now. Even for the detractors, surely anyone that follows college football
would understand that the Tech job is a tough job. Because of that, you would be hard pressed to replace him with a "name"
coach that had any level of success. So you hire an up and coming coach that experiences success, then he will soon be gone
to a factory. Fact is, the GT job is a stepping stone, like it or not.
 
CPJ is just a good football coach--you don't need to be an analyst to see that. Winning two out of three in Athens is no fluke.

If he can work with the new AD and they can help each other out..things will get progressively better. We're really not that far from being the annual winner of our division..and then we're only one game from the playoffs.

Maybe it's the afterglow of yesterday's game..but you can see how close we really are..a couple good DL's and LB's and we're right back in it with Clemson. Without Watson, they have a bigger hill to climb.

Folks need to realize we were speculating about getting Neuheisel here or that crap coach from Valdosta State before landing CPJ. There were folks on here just convinced we needed Valdosta State's coach. Scary stuff.
 
CPJ is a great coach and he has a good offense. Where I get frustrated is that sometimes it feels like he buys into defending said offense at the expense of tweaking it. I honestly think that his though process goes:

[insert sportswriter] says that my offense does not work without [insert modernization issue here]. I'll show him.

I see the ability to run no huddle as a perfect example. Sometimes we need to be able to do it and for years it was not going to happen. Then we try it this year in some cluster of an attempt where our signs were stolen (because we only had one person signaling in plays).

Bingo. DRad obviously had aspirations beyond Tech and wasn't gonna fight hard. MBob was the most useless person ever in the athletic department. He was the Bill Lewis of an AD - only I knew what Bill Lewis actually looked like. Stansbury actually cares about GT. It is his dream job. He is gonna fight for us. Perhaps even get us a homecoming kickoff that is not a nooner. Perhaps not attempt to put us on a cargo plane on a long plane flight. Maybe work to upgrade factilities. Perhaps walk around and make himself visible and available to the fans. Things like that.

I wonder what his handle will secretly be on here - if he isn't already here.
 
Mboob was thankfully just a short lived disaster.

For Stansbury, I definitely see him working to better the football program. Getting the stuff that CPJ wants for the assistant coaches ($ and recruiting improvements) will go a long way.

Hmm. Not sure of your evidence here. In the entire history of GT football, we've had treee coaches leave for greener pastures: one for Bama, one for ND and one for the NFL. That does not make us a stepping stone. Heck Wisconsin lost their coach to Arkansas; Alabama lost theirs to Texas A&M; Nebraska lost theirs to Wisconsin; Tennessee and Washington both lost theirs to USC; etc etc. None of those are stepping stones. Stepping stones are Ga Southern and Houston and all those other earnest trying really hard G5 schools.
 
I'm not a CPJ hater, but what I don't like about him is that he bears an ancient curse that fogs the minds of mortal men should their thoughts stray into the domain laid claim by his eldritch oppressors. The very tapestry of fate, in places, is woven in threads of the stupid shit that people say about him. The definition of right and wrong rests on the border of his actions and the opinions we harbor towards them. We will all go to the grave as fools, and Paul will will be calling the plays that are etched on the walls of our tombs.

That shit annoys me.

That doesn't seem right but, I don't know enough about stars to disprove you.
 
Gonna be hard for the haters to get CPJ fired this season now that we're bowl eligible
 
I just wanted to post before this gets locked because you dragged it up.
