IIRC you're the one who was trying to figure out how to screw GTAA out of your seat license fee, right? So not too worried about your opinion.
 
Contact Buzz, you're an idiot. Coach Johnson saw something that had to be addressed and called the timeout. He knows what it means to call a timeout late in the game and obviously he weighed the risks and made a VERY educated judgment call.

Move on.
 
Face it Contact Buzz, when we like a coach he can do no wrong and a rational discussion of any decisions he makes is not allowed. If we don't like the coach , all of his decisions are bad and no rational discussion is allowed.

Fan is short for fanatic and fanatics by definition do not engage in rational discussion.

I don't think the terminology "called out" is unfortunate but it was a questionable decision

for his time out management late in the game?

Because we had no choice...Jones had to run 50-60 yards back to the line of scrimmage and the clock had already started as soon as the previous play had ended...we got porked by the new clock rules on that play and the coaching staff needs to be prepared to sub another A back into the game if that situation arises again so we're not waiting on the previous target to get back to the huddle.

Beyond that, I see alot moronic posters flinging poo at each other in this thread. Having known ContactBuzz for several years or tailgating and sitting together in our season tickets, I can tell you that he doesn't much care who the coach is...he just wants GT to win, period.

PJ can't make people catch passes hitting them in the numbers.

Personally ... I'm thrilled that PJ gets absolutely pissed. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see the head coach red faced and screaming after a loss instead of "gee golly well shucks our guys played their precious little hearts out and came up short." ... to be followed up by an ugly 9-6 type win over a juggernaut like Duke.

Like what you just said. Fug the rest of this thread. :biggthumpup:

The facts are:
We wasted a timeout on 4th and 8 with <3min to go.
The HCs responsibility is clock management.

The Head Coach's responsibility is EVERYTHING. This head coach is trying to put a team on the field using players that have been in another coach's system for as much as four years. He's doing it with only 20 hours per week to be in contact with them--that's for training, practicing, conditioning, scouting. Most of them are 20 years old or younger, and many of them are actually carrying a real college class load at one of the more rigorous institutions of higher learning that there is. The others are taking lighter loads, but compared to their highschool preparation they might as well be trying to read Chinese.
There has been improvement, can you acknowledge that? Did you really envision being 3-0 when you viewed the schedule in July? And guess what? We are actually only an eyelash from being undefeated right now. Lighten up. Unfortunately the season started about a month too soon for Coach Johnson to have many of the mundane bugs worked out. Some players got hurt. This team will continue to be coached and taught---but now we have to do it on the fly while real games are played--and sometimes lost. I imagine every Saturday is being viewed as a teaching opportunity by this staff. I am one of the skeptics, and I see definite reasons for optimism. Road wins in the conference are tough. We got one and barely missed another. To Hell With Georgia.

Learning opportunity for CPJ. For someone as detail oriented as he is, I doubt we'll see it happen again. He demands perfection from his players so I'm sure he expects it out of himself as well.

Good response. Starting the season, I would've been happy with splitting the 2 road games. After BC, my expectations (hopes) were to get back to BDS at 3-0. Aside from the turnovers, we were pretty much dominated VT (386 - 247 total yds). So despite all of the things you've listed, we still had a very good chance to win the game.
 
Why is no one calling out PJ?

If we have made no progress, and if we are making the same mistakes 2 years from now, they will be.
 
I believe that if PJ called it, it was necessary. In PJ, we have one of the top 2 or three best coaches in College Football. PJ impresses me more than Ross, even hallowed Dodd. We need to be proud PJ chose Tech.

The biggest difference in this team is the mind set. The players are mentally much tougher. The look on Nesbit's face after the game was telling. This young man is a winner in every sense of the word. The main problem with this team is a lack of execution with the offensive line and the fact that Nesbit and Dwyer are not quite there with the inside veer dive play. That will come with repetitions and more repetitions until the reads and handoffs are second nature. The first year that Pepper installed the wishbone, one of the players remarked that they would start practice as soon as they could see the ball in the morning. Such is the committment it takes to master the triple option. I am sure it will come.
 
We lost the game because of fumbles. Don't blame anything else.

Nobody's calling out PJ because PJ didn't have a choice about calling the timeout. He clearly didn't want to take the timeout, but he had to because of the situation. Likewise, he had to go for it on 4th, and if he'd made it, or god forbid we'd completed that deep pass, we'd be at 3-0 and favored to win the coastal.

Now, we need VT to lose two ACC games and we need to win out. It's conceivable.
 
We could get away with VT only losing one game. But it would have to be to someone else in the division. And we would have to beat that team. And they would have to be undefeated to everyone but us.

That's still a 3 way tie though. What's the tiebreaker in that case?

Good point X. I've had the mindset that VT must lose twice --but that's not necessarily the case.

I think the tie breaker for a 3 way is:

1) Record between the three teams (i.e. if we end up tied with Miami and UNC at one loss, but we beat both of them, we win)
2) Divisional record
3) BCS standing

So if the stars line up and we have some sort of round robin, 1 loss deal going with Miami and VT, then the BCS standings will pick who goes to the ACCCG.

WracerX,
spends a lot of time thinking about 3 ways
