The offense that impressed me the most was UVA and how they utilized Perkins. I think we can emulate that and plus more when recruiting picks up with this so called “real offense” that you guys speak of

I think a guy like Graham would've been much more effective in that UVA-style of offense than taking snaps under center. Maybe we'll see him doing just that in 10 months.
 
While I love the option, it might not be best for GT at the present time

We need to fire up the entire fanbase; and lets face it, not everyone is on board with more option right now. 37000 fans for UVA on a perfect afternoon with a great tailgate tells you all you need to know.

So I say lets go a different direction and make the best hire we can. For me, someone who is a proven recruiter and will be a good "fit" for Tech. Perhaps Tony Elliott, I don't know. Someone who really wants to be here and thinks it's a good job. Right now we are one of the best jobs available so this turns out to be nice timing. As CPJ said in the press conference, we have football players here who just won 7 or 8 games. It's not a terrible situation. And the freshman class is really looking good.

If we succeed, then great. Of course we may have trouble fending off interest in our new coach after a big year, but that is to be expected.

But if we fail, then I expect many would reconsider the 3O or some variant thereof as a proven way for GT to compete. Coaches like Monken and Bohannon are likely to be available to us whenever we should choose; it's not like there are a bunch of P5 programs falling over themselves to hire these guys up. It will seem nostalgic and desirable soon enough if we suffer a few rough years. This is sort of the same emotional arc that GSU took after CPJ left them. That's what I predict for us.
 
I do think the option gave us an identity and helped us compete against more talented teams, teams that were always going to be more talented than we have been.

My one reservation to that is that I believe that just as we were hiring Paul Johnson, the state of Georgia really blew up in terms of talent and the spread offense really blew up in terms of being the chic offense. I believe there are more good QBs that can run the spread in Georgia now than there ever were pro-style QBs who could run Nix's offense, or even Fridge's. There are more RBs that can be great spread RBs than there were RBs that could be great pro-style Iso RBs.

All of that to say that I do think we can be more successful recruiting Georgia for spread-type players than we were recruiting NFL-armed QBs for Gailey's last few years.

Post like this has Ga Southern outcome written all over them.
 
Personally, I’d really like for us to become the Wisconsin of the South. I love the way they run the ball down people’s throats, control the clock, and have a specific type of player that doesn’t have to be a 4 or 5 star to thrive. They also put tons of guys in the NFL. This sounds like something we should fully embrace.

Or just become UGA offense who ran the ball 79% last season on route to the playoffs and no one complained

There's not enough corn in GA for that to work.
