I'm a big defender of CPJ. Beating UGA 2 out of last 3 years, as well as 9+ wins both those years. I work with a Nebraska fan, so I'm extremely skeptical of magical coach firings arguments. The "right" coach is always around the corner. In Gailey's years, that right coach was overwhelmingly CPJ.
But I don't know what the hell happened in that second half. Maybe Marshall has gotten inside his own head too much since Clemson. The reads and throws have gone downhill. That's on the coaches ultimately, for however they've been trying to help him.
Ted Roof may be a good recruiter, but he has continually schemed not to lose. Yes, if you scheme more aggressively, maybe you give up a vertical with separation. But shit, a couple of those big plays are better than being gashed so much on medium throws.
If Ted Roof is not fired and/or the team comes out listless against UGA like this second half, then even I question CPJ's future.
I still say you're stupid to fire him after this year regardless, but he will be on the hot seat next year. This right now is worse than any time in 2015, when break after break went again Tech. This isn't that.
