Paul Johnson

When did GT raise their standards? Chan Gailey brought in a ton of talent when he was there. He couldn't coach it of course, but his rosters were loaded.

Here is why you hate Paul Johnson: Trickle-down effect of that *******'s attitude.

Georgia Tech LB Quayshawn Nealy, after his team allowed 551 yards to Miami: "I’m not going to say they’re that much better than us."

Last year's meeting went into overtime after we made a furious comeback. This game we trailed 17-7 and had no energy or any clue how to stop them. It was extremely fortunate they fumbled on that possession. Then it was 24-23 beyond the midway point of the fourth quarter. Given that data I don't see how a Georgia Tech player is supposed to bow down and concede that we are markedly superior.

Paul Johnson allows Georgia Tech to overachieve. If they switch to a pass happy approach with their caliber of athlete they will get buried near the bottom of the conference every season. Today they had quite a few new wrinkles and we were very fortunate on more than one occasion. Everyone around me in the stands was frustrated at our inability to stop them, and acknowledged that the score hardly represented the game. They missed a wide open receiver down the left sideline in the second quarter on a third down play that could have extended the lead.

This post makes me wonder whether you watched the game or just followed the score. Even a potatoe could see we were beating ourselves at 17-7.
 
I was at the game and totally agree with Dooger. If we dont get that fumble, we might have gotten blown out.

I dont have a problem with them playing to the end

Well you say the same thing for them. They are very fortunate that duke fumble the ball. They are very fortunate morris overthrew a ball. See we can do this all the day.

Those things are part of the game. Its call executing. If you execute 5 plays and I excute 10 plays by simple math i am better then you. So if Gtech miss a wide open receiver he didnt execute. If he was a better player he would execute. All the "well miami fortunate he miss this or miss that" is bull. Stephen morris hit his wide open receivers. Tracy howard cover his man. The oline block their man. Miami executes and gtech didnt

If they didn't get Duke's fumble or Dorsett's muff THEY get blown out.

We averaged over 10 yards per play! They showed no ability to stop us other than some sloppy turnovers.

I wish they hadn't got that cheap TD at the end because that really was a 45-23 type game.

Or the fact that Tech had about 4 or 5 drives that started on UM's side of the field and converted just once.

Dorsett's muffed punt was key, I thought UM was just about the roll on them at that point
 
Thanks Dees. This is what kills me about our fans. We always see how many points the other teams leave on the field. But we FAIL to apply the same logic to OUR team. Its as if we win because we make less mistakes, NOT because we executed better. Always making excuses for other teams! "Well, IF they didn't fumble... WE caused the **** fumble! He just didn' drop it on the ground, lol. Its always IF. Its as if they can't/won't give our team/coaches any credit for good execution. Some of our fans are starting to sound like UiF fans!

i hhate when people say this...

REALIZE...GT is smack dab in ATLANTA.....a football recruiting hot bed of talent imo....How else u think they had freak o f nature guys like (Hill, BeBe Thomas, Calvin Johnson) add to it their close enough to Fla to pull a ton of recruits if they WANTED to......

Atlanta is a major hub..and the city is and should be a better draw than Athens, etc. I mean me personally i chose to go to school in Atlanta to a DIV 1AA HBCU over lower level div 1 offers because i wanted to live in the major city of Atlanta in stead of some po dunk town in the midwest.

They should crap that dude asap....and get a legit guy in their...GT is/should be a recruiting beast at sleep right now.....the whole sec poaches guys out of their city that they dont even put up a fight for.

I posted something similar in another thread. Evidently many GT fans are ok with PJs mediocrity.
 
There are plenty of kids who can do both; Johnson just some how manages to get kids who can't throw at all.

Glad I'm not alone in feeling that way about watching GT. Johnson's offense is the worse. Like playing on the blue turf at Boise. How year after year he recruits QBs that are incapable of throwing the ball defies the laws of probability.

I thought he was going to go "Woody Hayes" on that Jenkins interception.
Wish he did. Hate playing GT.
It's like facing a knuckleball pitcher.
Fuucks your whole team defense up, especially when you spend most of the game trying not to get your knees blown out.

why would a QB who can throw go to GT?

Not so much that but they just don't get the reps in practice to even learn be a legit D1 QB. Their entire passing game is fake the option and chuck it deep. Guys like RG3 and Russell Wilson would look like **** passing under those circumstances.

Their pass protection is always crap too. Seems like whenever they want to throw, the QB barely has any time. Again, probably goes back to practise reps.

Wouldn't say they were loaded but Johnson inherited a pretty talented group when he got there with Johnson, Morgan, Burnett, Dwyer etc. Under Gailey, they always had good athletes, especially on D.
 
@gogeta, u are correct except for one thing. The real reasons GTech don't put up a real fight for those players getting poached by $EC schools, is money and more importantly, entrance requirements. Theirs is pretty high. For the most part, they can't recruit the same kids as UGA, Aub., Bama, etc. Not even close to being on an equal level. Every now and then, though they would get a stud player that other big schools wanted (Johnson, Thomas, etc.).
I do agree that they need to fire PJ, though and get a coach that runs a real offense. They can't effectively recruit big time QB's, OL, or WR's running that garbage.
Now that GT is full of PJ guys, the next guy should get 5 years minimum to clean house. You win games with talent and its hard to get future NFL offensive talent, to come play in that ****. His buyout is ridiculous as well, so they may be stuck with him for a while. Their fans have accepted this mediocrity, cause they feel that the higher ups, "Tech Men", has lost their balls, and do not care about the state of the football program.
 
Was Paul Johnson supposed to tell his QB to take a knee with time left on the clock?

You know the way we did vs U***? ******* Randy. To this day I have never seen the losing team take a knee in the "victory" formation.
 
They need a solid black head coach.
