Reports: Tech coach Spencer out
Georgia Tech co-offensive line coach Todd Spencer is not expected back with the team, according to two media outlets, rivals.com and coachingsearch.com.
“We don’t have an announcement (regarding a change),” associate athletic director Wayne Hogan said Saturday.
If true, the timing is not beneficial. Coaching changes typically occur immediately following the season or after signing day. In the days leading up to signing day, which takes place Wednesday, the last thing a team wants to project to prospects is any sort of change or instability.
Prior to last season, Spencer was reprimanded by the school and suspended for the first game of the season by the NCAA for violating its rules about calls to prospects. Apparently acting under a misunderstanding of the rules, Spencer made 14 calls to prospects that were outside of NCAA boundaries.
Spencer was the recruiting coach assigned to Lanier County High defensive end Junior Gnonkonde, whose scholarship was withdrawn Jan. 20. Lanier County athletic director John White, who is also Gnonkonde’s legal guardian, said he was told it was due to low test scores, which White disputed.
White spoke glowingly of Spencer, saying he was the “No. 1 reason” why Gnonkonde committed and that he would have de-committed were Spencer to lose his job.
Spencer came to Tech with coach Paul Johnson prior to the 2008 season after serving as an assistant at Navy for the previous 11, six with Johnson. He helped the Yellow Jackets’ offensive line produce four of the most productive rushing teams in school history.

I’ve got to admit, this makes me wonder a bit about the Gnonkonde situation, because there WERE unconfirmed reports that the withdrawal was at least partially due to some contact by GT that was against NCAA rules, and to avoid further conflict with the hypocrites at the NCAA, GT just cut ties with the young man. Of course those were UNconfirmed, so who knows? But this does make one wonder………….

If they cut his scholarship after illegalyl recruiting him, then it is just making a bad situation worse for that young man. If Tech did this to save themselves then it was silly, as it will not impact what the NCAA might do for illegeal recruitment. This NCAA has already shown this in the past multiple times for different institutions.

So if they pulled the scholarship and fired the coach recruiting him because of some breaking of NCAA rules about his recruitment, is that going to help us? What about the probation DRad got us into when he mishandled the inquiry about BeBe Thomas?
I’m worried that the kid getting punished by the Institute if the coaching staff broke the rules will make us look worse to the public and the NCAA. I really want to be a Paul Johnson supporter, but I just don’t have a good feeling about what is going on up there.

So GT & CPJ rather than have the NCAA back on campus sniffing around a school ALREADY ON PROBATION would rather scape-goat a Recruit than man up and admit they (Coach Spencer) made mistakes.
If the Recruit gets dumped for “Academics” then the NCAA has no reason to come knocking on GT’s door.
As a GT alum I would like to extend a sincere apology to Junior Gnonkonde and his HC/guardian for the way GT scape-goated you guys in the local media to save themselves & GT from embarrassment for potential NCAA violations.

With NFL experience on his Resume Giff is going to go to a SEC College or Big-12 school rather than come back to a low paying school like GT.
guys like Giff they pimp GT to show that they can Recruit in tough Academic environment and then they parlay that experience into a cushy job at one of the factories that pay a lot more MONEY.
GT is not a destination for anyone coaching-wise, it is merely a stepping stone to better colleges, better coaching jobs and more money.

I guess we now know that the HS HC was telling the TRUTH after all.
I wonder will all those anti-Wrecks folks on various GT message boards come clean and admit they were wrong about the HS HC when they accused him of LYING to cover his behind?
GT chose to play the, “we’ll get the Admission Office to ask for another Test that way we can make it seem like the RECRUIT screwed up and NOT our Asst. Coach for making too many contacts with a Recruit”.
I guess now we can call CPJ, Coach Nathan Jessep, since it is obvious he ordered the code red (i.e. illegal contacting of a Recruit) and when it WENT BAD, he cut them loose, both Junior & Coach Spencer.
And when it went BAD CPJ cut those guys loose:

As a Dawg fan, I have had much respect for CPJ but now am beginning to wonder. His lack of defense against us was glaring, yet he retains Groh. He let Gnonkonde(sp) go and I have wondered if it is the same type thing with UGA and Chester Brown – immigration – since Gnonkonde was from the Ivory Coast originally. Regardless, it is what it is.
Another thing is CPJ sticks with his spread offense, which worked quite often, but seems to still need tweaking. I can certainly understand how some of you are upset since many UGA fans have been with Richt until he seemingly woke up with most problems. He still sticks with Bobo, however, and that is an ongoing problem.
You would think some of these head coaches would pay attention to fan bases and give them some due consideration.
Good luck – we both need it!

5150, I agree with you 100%. 90% of the people on here complain about Tech and the coaches, but do not attend the games. I bet PJ had a valid reason for firing the coach if and when they do. Junior knew what he needed to do and did not do it. What would you all rather have Junior find a school he go to and graduate or go to Tech and fail out. Do not forget we just had a corner (Ayers) transfer to liberty because he could not meet academic requirements and he was no scrub cming out of high school. I 99% of the people on this site went to school with someone you know was dumb as a nail and the only reason he stayed eligible was because he was taken care of because he was good in sports. Stop blaming the staff for Junior and ask Junior and his guardian why Junior did not do what he needed to do to become eligible. Ask the guardian to blacken out the kids personal info, but leave his name and post his scores on the AJC, so everyone can really see if he met Tech standards. This will tell the truth and stop the finger pointing.

“Then why would other schools require him to take the test again?”
That is exactly why I personally think that even if there were some potential NCAA issues, that was NOT the primary reason for the kid being let go. His academics are apparently attrocious if someone like UF is saying he has to retake tests in order to get in. Shoot, my dog could get admitted to UF if she could play football!!(and milk bones are a lot cheaper than buying players new cars!!!)! It’s well documented that they have arguably the most lenient admissions requirements for athletes of ANY Div-! school!!!. And most of the other schools considering him are almost as bad.
However, if there was anything even remotely shady going on with this coach, given our current “relationship” with the NCAA, they would be well-served in getting rid of him asap. But it’s all speculation at this point.

Don’t see too many ACTUAL Tech fans on the blog tonight. Just mostly hot air. Next season will be CPJ’s first with all of his recruits. He already has the best winning percentage at Tech since Dodd. Some of you people act like we were coming off of a couple of dominating decades prior to CPJ. Give coach a couple of years with HIS recruits and then call for his head if things start to resemble the Gailey years.

Maybe Spence got fired because he, and he alone, mislead Junior G and his HS coach. As soon as CPJ and DRad got word from the Admissions office that Junior was not going to qualify, he was released from his scholarship and CPJ got on the phone trying to find someplace where Junior could play. I think it’s very telling that even UCF said that currently Junior did not qualify for admissions. Not putting down UCF in any way, but if he couldn’t qualify there, then I think it’s obvious that he couldn’t qualify at Tech.

At first folks like YOU claimed that MAYBE the HC/guardian is LYING,and that was what guys like YOU said for about a week in your defense of CPJ.
NOW, your next “story” is that MAYBE CTS acted ALONE, once again removing CPJ from any accountability relating to a bad situation.
With the length of time that had transpired (11 months) since Junior had been verbally committed to GT there is NO WAY possible that CTS could have acted alone, and IF HE did then CPJ is derelict as a HC for not supervising his assts. better and not keeping up with how his Recruit Class was progressing.
When it come to boot-licking-toadies like YOU and CPJ there is always some far-fetched excuse as to why he is not responsible.
First, the HC/Guardian was lying.
Second, the Asst. coach went Rogue and mislead everyone.

I’m sorry that we don’t beat you guys with any regularity, however why don’t you put yourself in our shoes and consider the fact that as a Tech Graduate and major sports fan I’ve had to suffer a lot. Instead you come onto the Georgia Tech blog and say a bunch of crap. Think of it as a Falcons Fan or Braves Fan. These teams have been painful to be a fan of most of my life, I’m 38. Now the Braves have been decent to great for 20 years and even the Falcons have now won 4 years straight. GT is doing pretty good now and we did finally beat you guys in 2008. We are having a good time as a fan these days. Paul Johnson is a very interesting coach for us to have. I like Mark Richt as well. I think he is the best coach you guys have ever had.

Don’t understand what we are looking for. Tech puts a competitive team on the field. This firing of Spencer I am sure was, with the timing, a house cleaning for some rules violation. Tech runs a really clean program, which is why we were so indignant about the NCAA probation. We don’t overreach what we put on a football field. You won’t see a NFL linebacker rushing a high school recruit, it’s illegal, as in Miami’s Lewis and the kid from Valdosta, or several other college alumni that have the ex college and NFL players show up to the kid’s signing day. If Tech is not the model of what student athlete is suppose to be what is? What is the NCAA trying to produce? That my friends is what is called a rhetorical question, I think we all know the answer. The real question to me is what happens to the few colleges that have character, teach it to their players and show it in real life. They all talk the talk but few walk the walk. And why not all society has gotten this way. When you change the definition, the action is the same. “I didn’t have sex with that woman” doesn’t fly because you don’t know the definition of sex and not knowing what character is doesn’t make not having it right.
So get off CPJ.

I am just curious a little here. Who would tech. get for a new coach? Does the institute have the money to pay off both Johnson’s contract and hire a quality coach? These guys today do not come cheap. Now that this will actually be CPJ’s first full recruiting class, it would appear it has been recruited to fill his TO offense. Are the these athletes going to be able to adapt to a more conventional style of offense, and does GT in effect, have to start all over with a new coach recruiting the type of players needed to fit his more conventional type of offense? How good could CPJ’s teams look if the defense were better, say like a number five defense like UGA has or one similar to LSU and Alabama. Maybe thew biggest problem lies in the defense. The offense was put into a position where they had to run plays on fourth down last year, because CPJ did not have any confidence in his defense’s ability to stop the other teams offense. Wouldn’t the better choice be to hire a DC, and recruit it hard for a couple of years and see if GT can turn it around?
I am not really sure why your AD thought, that hiring a coach that runs a less than conventional offense, would change the scenario for more than 1 or 2 years. After that, GT will get some fairly good yards running the ball, but teams begin to figure it out, and when they have time to work their defenses a little bit, they defend it. It appears that GT doesn’t have the money to buy out his contract and pay for a really top notch coach, and that is a shame, but it is the reality of the situation. Maybe it’s not so much has the money, is the fact that maybe the school isn’t willing to spend the money to do that. I think it would probably be easier to let the DC go, and try and find a quality one, instead of ditching your whole program for a couple of years by getting rid of your HC. At the 4 year point, you have now recruited the players he wants for his style so, ditching him now, would put you in even a deeper hole.
The DC faces a dilemma preparing for more conventional style offenses, much as a team playing Techs. offense faces a dilemma of trying to prepare for the TO. A scout team running a spread or a pro type offense, can only prepare your team so much. They aren’t going to be as good at it as the actual team you are playing.

The myth that PJ recruits for his option. Who would be the better B back James Wilder or Zach Laskey?He’s offered most every top running back in state, he even offered K. Marshall. Wilder was what PJ wanted the other is what he got. Same with a litany of other players,
Pj rarely hits on a recruit he wants takes the leftovers from UGA, Clemson, FSU , Auburn, South Carolina. Bama, and Tenn.The man is over his head when it comes to recruiting.and coaching on this level.He’s replaced none of the talent he inherited with Gailey.

@rednblackdaqwg,
They had fairly good teams at Navy while he was there and they use the TO. Mind you the competition level was weaker, but still in all, he won his conference and his teams weren’t so bad. The TO is also used pretty well at the Air Force academy, as GT found out. Navy runs it successfully, and if you don’t think so, ask S.C. It is mostly the lack of a decent defense that keeps Tech. down a lot. You can score a bunch of points which they usually do, but when your opponent scores more, they win. Nothing complicated about that.

At Tech it is always a “misunderstanding”, got confused on the eligibility, didn’t think of it as a gift, thought we could make the phone calls, etc. For a bunch that is so high on their smarts, they have a hard time understanding the written rules.

As a former coach, who coached 5 seasons at Ohio State before coaching 18 seasons in the NFL, I have been a fan of Paul Johnson’s offensive (I coached conception ally the same offense as a member of Lou Holtz’s staff at William and Mary) because of the fact you are forcing the defense to play assignment football you give your players a chance to beat or at least compete against teams with superior overall talent.
__________________
Where is the proof that this scheme works vs. better overall talent?
Or at least gives you a chance to compete?
1-3 vs. Miami
1-3 vs. Va. Tech
1-3 vs. UGA
0-4 vs. Bowl Games
3-13 vs. Those types of Teams you mention above that this scheme is supposed to give you a chance to compete against.
Is 3-13 what you call COMPETING?
Since the Pro-Style future NFL guys that Chan Recruited have left the Program, GT is 14-12 vs. the 96th and 76th toughest schedules in 2010 & 2011.
14-12 vs. VERY WEAK Schedules is not what I call competing.
What happens at Wm. & Mary and the D1-AA Level doesn’t necessarily translate to the BCS-AQ-Level.
Too many GT fans are letting CPJ’s 1st 2 years with Recruits that he cannot REPLACE, mislead them into thinking that CPJ can sustain that at GT, while the last 2 years are clearly showing everyone that is unbiased that he can’t.

In the last 2 seasons GT is 1-11 vs. teams with Top 50 Defenses.
At the BCS-AQ-Level Teams with top-50 Defenses tend to have a few NFL caliber players sprinkled in, and CPJ ’s system doesn’t seem to work very well vs. them.
The last 2 years are full of overwhelming Stats that show that CPJ’s schemes don’t give GT any sort of competitive advantage NOW that HIS OWN RECRUITS are populating the Depth Chart.
1-11 vs. top 50 Defenses the last 2 seasons and that ONE WIN was vs. a Defense ranked in the 40s, CPJ hasn’t come close to beating a Defense ranked in the Top-20 in Defensive Stats in TWO FULL SEASONS.
Basically CPJ is fattening up on weak teams and the GT fanbase stays in denial thinking he’s some sort of Offensive Genius.

Tech is a one phone call school. We don’t usually have to go to a back up plan. For some reason that first coaching replacement we call has his bags pack in 30 minutes and is on the train to Atlanta. Georgia gets that with the players they recruit, but not the coaches. That is why Georgia gives us all pause, they bring the killer eleven in every year and every year some other school wins the title. Tech on the other hand, the same Tech so closely watched by the NCAA , doesn’t get very many of that killer group the press have anointed. Never did before the probation and certainly won’t now. We actually have to tell a few of those vegetable types they just won’t work out at Tech. Thus we have limited talent and some of the best coaching and it is the other way around for Georgia. The Bulldawgs out sources their coach recruiting to a phone bank in the Philippines. After a two month campaign that would make Romney proud they turn up a coach interested in the money more that the challenge of Georgia getting back on the radar of the national championship pictures that several SEC schools have won since 1980. In the meanwhile several of the Dooley tree of Georgia are discover in the trash pile by Alabama or Texas or La. Tech or Florida and they go on to win and contend for championships. Kind of right under your nose so to speak. In fact Paul Johnson through Russell is one of those. Now Georgia did keep Mike Bobo so my argument is not all correct and maybe Smart, Muschamp, or Spangler wouldn’t have made it at Georgia either and maybe they knew it.

If a guy takes another job, a school can say “hey, he was a great coach, someone else recognized that and he had to take a better job. We don’t hold it against him.” If a coach gets fired, what is the spin then? “We didn’t think he was a good coach? He was doing things wrong? He just wasn’t a good fit here?”

Unless Spencer was intimately involved in the recruiting of some special players (other than Junior G), it shouldn’t have any impact.

OBD a UH-61 Bell Huey Air CAV work horse. Did it Black with posperesent(?) colors to make it Glow in the dark on parts of the interior. It hangs over my nephew’s bed and a BIG RED 1 G.I.Joe(real one) with full Parachute as part of his SKY WAR.

Xenon is 5-6 170lbs. soaking wet and Bostic is 5-10 170lbs. soaking wet, and Bostic hates contact which is why he stopped getting PT during his Freshman yr., he hated contact and refused to block.
If I were an OC and saw either of those 2-guys lined up at CB, I’d run toss-sweeps all day and would make sure that I pulled an OG on the play also.
When you Recruit too many undersized A-Backs that can’t play any other position, it hurts your team’s depth at important positions like OL & DL & WR.

I read it – AJC needs to ban him / her along with a few others.

[...] school told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that they “don’t have an announcement” to make regarding Spencer’s status. Spencer is still listed on Tech’s official [...]

If you don’t have an official announcement, why do you publish such information. No one wants to read in the fish wrapper prior to their dismissal that they are about to be canned. Stories like this are counterproductive to Georgia Tech, Coach Spencer, Coach Johnson, and the AJC. This IS a gossip column. Way to go Ken!!!!

I think I’ll trade in my GT football tickets for a sick horse, then shoot the horse.

Why would a Coach want to stay at Tech?
big nose "Buzz" is aka "RAT Capybara"

Spencer’s out, Gnonkonde’s out, Will from Sandy Creek might go to Auburn, another recruit left for Miami today. I guess they all are getting wise to “Buzz” representing the Baby Jackets only.

DRad is a good AD and Johnson is a great coach. Tech Administration has always been tough on athletes. Most Tech profs are pencilnecks.
A football player missed a weekly psychology quiz at Tech because he was in the hospital for knee surgery. Prof says: “You don’t have to play football and if you weren’t playing football, you would not have been hurt. Therefore, you get a zero.”
Player flunked the course.
GTAA never let another jock take a course from this prof, but it is indicative or the administrative pushback when it comes to helping athletes.
