O’Reilly transfer ‘not done deal’
The father of Pope grad and now former Auburn guard Thomas O’Reilly said Tuesday that a transfer to Georgia Tech is “not a done deal yet. We think it’s an option, but it’s not a done deal at this point.” Shaun O’Reilly said that there has been conversation between his son and Tech since he decided to transfer, but asserted that no decision had been made.
“We’ve talked,” he said. “We know the school very well from when he was recruited as a [high-school prospect]. It’s a great school and it has a ton to offer.”
During his high school recruitment, Tech was the first school to offer O’Reilly, listed in his Auburn bio at 6-foot-3, 325 pounds, and he made multiple visits to the school during his recruitment.
O’Reilly redshirted this past season and, assuming he transfers to another FBS-level school, will have to sit out another year and would have three years of eligibility. A highly-regarded high school prospect, ESPN ranked him the No. 145 player nationally in the class of 2011 and Rivals named him the No. 19 offensive guard.
Shaun O’Reilly said the decision to transfer was based on opportunities to play and the Tigers’ scheme change, as well as academics. Coach Gene Chizik hired Scot Loeffler to replace Gus Malzahn as offensive coordinator in January after Malzahn left to become head coach at Arkansas State.

If he does come it will be a nice trade off for the one we lost to auburn. I could see him going FCS so he would not have to sit out another year. Two years is as long time to wait to see the field.

Anyone want to make a wager that WnE, whinnie, weenie tries to spin this as a negative for CPJ even though the article does not mention him at all.
I wonder if he’s on twitter to the young man right now making his “anti-pitch”…
Good luck to the young man wherever he finds himself.

GTVegas…Gollum has already spun this negatively (see Carvell’s blog) as wasting a scholarship on a 3 year player instead of “hand selecting” (remember now, CPJ can’t recruit) a 4 year player. This is also the same person who suggested recruiting JUCO’s.

May 9th, 2012
12:42 pm
Academics? If he is struggling at Auburn how in the real world could he make it at such an academic giant as GT? How?
Ken – have you filed an Open Records request recently? No telling what kind of misdeeds may be going on at GT. Where does the NCAA stand as regards the hundreds of illegal text messages sent by the former asst coach? There must be some kind of sanction forthcoming, or self imposed. Why don’t you look into it.

What makes you guys think he had trouble academically at AU? Maybe he wants to be in a more challenging academic environment. I know that concept is unimaginable to you mouth breathing leg humpers, but some folks like being challenged in the classroom and would like to have a degree from a globally recognized institute.
Jacket fu
May 9th, 2012

The nature of his academic challenges is important here. If it is the inability to learn then he’s going to have some big problems at Tech. If it is a matter of motivation, interest, or academic support, he may be OK. It seems wrong that a redshirted freshman who has not played would have to sit out a year by NCAA standards—yet more hypocrisy from the sport that allows coaches to jump jobs without penalty or cost.
5150 UOAD

It doesn’t say he had BAD academics/grades.
Maybe the Choice to transfer TOO Tech is because of Tech’s academics not poor grades at Auburn.

_________________
You are a liar because you tell only half the story.
I said recruit a JUCO where there is a pressing need like B-back or NT, OL is no longer a pressing need and with limited schollies rather than take a transfer that will not have played in a game for 2 years you can go out and recruit another Shaq Mason.
It is not like the guy was starter like the OT from Md. that is going to UF.
BTW, CPJ was pursuing a JUCO RB that was 6-2 220lbs that could serve as a legit feature back for his Offense to make up for all his Recruiting misses at B-back.
I don’t subscribe to the name-calling moratorium when folks like you tell only half the story.

My theory is that the Dad/Son are ONCE AGAIN using GT as a fall-back option.
Coming out of HS GT was the first school to offer him, but he waited and balked at GT, and then proclaimed Auburn as his “dream school” and that he always wanted to play in the SEC.
Now he’s looking to transfer, and once again he & his father are using GT to try and shake the trees for another offer from another BCS-level school that can give him the opportunity to play in a “somewhat pro-style offense” so that he can increase his chances to play in the NFL.
My theory is that he & his father don’t feel that CPJ’s offense will give them the chances to show they can pass block “enough” that would appeal to NFL scouts.
At this point with all the INFORMATION they have about GT, they should already know whether or not they want to transfer to GT.
For the father to come out and say “its not a done deal” means that they are looking for a “better deal” than GT and if none materialize, then they will go with GT.
If I were CPJ I’d be looking to Recruit the next Shaq Mason rather than playing footsie with a “me first opportunist & his father/agent”.
Just one man’s opinion.

Shaq Mason was highly regarded as a NT/DT coming out of HS.
The only problem is that CPJ is too selfish to move him over to the CAG’s Def. and help the team, instead he’d rather prove to the world that HIS SYSTEM works, but that’s another discussion.
BTW, once they play an do PAN OUT, then that is all that’s important, the problem with CPJ’s off-the-radar Recruiting Strategy is that too many of his players do not pan out like Mason has.

“Where does the NCAA stand as regards the hundreds of illegal text messages sent by the former asst coach? There must be some kind of sanction forthcoming, or self imposed. Why don’t you look into it.”
Truth…
You are obviously too lazy to do a Google search, so let me help you. The infraction you speak of was caught by the school and immediately reported to the NCAA. In most cases, this is a secondary violation which carries no more a penalty than the same that Mark Richt got for paying his coaching buddies whom the University made him fire out of his own pocket…which results simply in a “don’t do that again” from the NCAA.
The school actually went above and beyond in the Todd Spencer case by jumping straight to termination (instead of suspension) when it happened a second time.
Since you are obviously the expert…what sanctions are in order for a team that commits a secondary violation? And when Mark Richt, or pretty much every single other CFB coach commits them, what sanctions do you suggest?

WnE’s fallback theory doesn’t even make sense. Why would the fact that GT is looking at him “shake the trees” for another BCS offer? You think other coaches are so dumb that they only want this guy if GT wants him? If he wants to go to another school, let him go to those other schools and speak to those coaches about a possible transfer. This isn’t like signing day where there is a timing issue or a deadline that most scholarships will be given out. If a school has a scholarship to give out, O’Reilly has plenty of time to go speak to those coaches and see if they will give him the scholarship. Sadly, its another example of a serial poster on the GT blogs that has his own anti-CPJ agenda that is devoid of reality.

Man does that guy (WnE) never tell the truth. Shaq Mason was not highly rated. He was an under-the-radar recruit that GT got on early. Tennessee tried to go after Mason late, but Mason was not interested.
He could have been a potential NT, but right now he is the best OG on the team. Also, he is one of the few 300+ lb OL that we have. Wasn’t it WnE who lamented that CPJ only recruits undersized OL?

There is a central problem, folks.
Johnson, as good of an offensive mind as he is— and he is…
Has failed to recruit within the state of Georgia, and other states, that produce the quality of athletes that can win ACC Championships, let alone compete with the CFB powerhouses.
It’s documented on his 4/5 failures to compete with UGA.
It’s documented on his inability to win a Bowl Game against legitimate opponents.
The solution will be a tough decision, given our limited ability to hire with financial constrictions created by an inept AD (who, btw got us an unnecessary probation).
But it’s obvious, change on multiple levels is due.
Richt, UGA, et. al. has never dominated us more than they are currently.
If GT Football were a S&P major 500 corporation, run by an AD that were a corporate 500 CEO, there would be a change this year.

Chan was losing to UGA teams that were Top -10 and twice finished #2 in the Final CFB polls, that is a far cry from CPJ losing to UGA in what UGA fans admit is a down era for UGA FB.
We pay a HC 2.5 TIMES as much as Chan and he loses Bowl Games to Air Force & Utah?
In the last 2 years we are 1-11 vs. Top 50 defenses, that means that CPJ has been getting fat on the weak part of the schedule and then LOSING vs. real competition.
I know……..I know……… you’re going to bring up Clemson & UNC as signature wins, but will leave off the 3 losses to Miami during one of their WEAKEST eras in recent Miami FB.
With UGA AND Miami being down at the same time CPJ should have a much better record than he has, especially over the last 2 seasons, that would be 14-12 vs. the 69th & 76th toughest schedules.
Once again:
1-3 vs. Va. Tech
1-3 vs. Miami
1-3 vs. UGA
0-4 vs. Bowl Games
3-13 vs. the segment of the schedule that “really defines” what GT FB is to the REST OF THE COUNTRY.

why not go one step further. get him on the staff in some capacity even if it is only an honorary position. bama did this for bear. tosu did this for woody. cremins deserves the same. bobby is a gt legacy and we need him back in the fold.
give him his own office. name on the door. photos of his former players, teams on the wall along with his accomplishments.
the additional advantage would be that we could use him for recruiting a high profile player from time to time. knowing bobby he would gladly do it. And this would be a way to keep him with our program forever without all the stress. win win.
i know feel beyond a shadow of a doubt that coach gregory would be cool with this unlike phewitt.

WnE, nobody is disputing the weakness of the ACC. Its futility in bowl games is significant. So is GT’s futility in bowl games. I am not happy about it. BUT, the ACC is a basketball conference, so I’m not sure what you expect. If you expect the ACC to be as good as the SEC and Big 10 in football, you are probably going to be pretty disappointed.
By the way, this is not accepting mediocrity, this is accepting reality and working within that reality. And the reality is, year in and year out, most members of the SEC, Big 10, and 3 to 4 schools in the ACC are going to get MORE talent than GT. Those are the facts of life. So, I want a coach who can best operate within that reality at GT. I believe CPJ is the best coach that I know of that would come to GT that would operate well within that reality. WnE, what part of this do you disagree with (besides the last part, I know you don’t think CPJ is a good coach)? Let’s have an honest debate about the realities GT operates under.

“Anyway, with those records for Clemson to make the ACC-CG twice in 4 yrs. proves that the ACC has been very down and Clemson hasn’t been the signature win that GTFans/CPJ apologists have made it out to be.”
Once again, let’s review the criteria that WnE must validate before he is to show CPJ any respect…a sort of “WnE Manifesto” if you will…
1) Go 12-0 in the regular season. But not your run-of-the-mill 12-0. It has to be an undefeated record against the best teams in those schools’ recent histories or else the victories don’t really count.
2) Consistently pull in Top 10 recruiting classes. Let’s ignore admission standards, disproportionate recruiting budgets, oversigning and attrition, Quantity-based recruiting rankings, how well coaches develop the recruits they get, available majors, inadmissable JuCo transfer credits, or the entire ambiguity and guessing game that is ranking HS football players. Those are nothing but excuses.
3) Have every eligible player drafted by the NFL. After all, if we’re going to hold it against CPJ that Kevin Cone and Tyler Melton don’t get drafted…then clearly the expectation is for all of his players to make it to the NFL.
4) Graduate 100% of his players with Engineering degrees. Pay no attention to the fact that the regular student body fails out or transfers at a rate of 20%-30%. Nor pay attention to the fact that the College of Management is ranked top 30…and is a Bachelor of Science degree which requires two advanced level math and science semesters.
Perhaps I’ve missed a point?

I’d say that’s pretty comprehensive, FLJ.
The only thing I’d add is his approach to the NFL Draft. If a player gets taken highly in the draft, Johnson underused him. However, if he falls in the draft, Johnson didn’t prepare him.
If a player gets taken highly in the draft, it was because of his time spent training with a third party. However, if the player falls in the draft, it’s because Johnson didn’t prepare him.
Paul Johnson damages the draft prospects of players. However, he also cannot recruit well enough to get them because of the offense he runs.

All your pals that criticize me, folks like Paul in NH, Supersize, High Text, George Stein, fl Jackets & other are in disagreement with you since they believe that Clemson & UNC are signature wins for CPJ.
Whenever I point out the 3-13 record vs. the “measuring sticks for GT FB” (VPI, Miami, UGA, & bowl Games) they quickly respond that I’m leaving CPJ’s stellar record vs. Clemson & UNC because it “doesn’t fit the narrative” and that I’m overlooking “how tough” Clemson & UNC are because I hate CPJ.
Do you feel that Clemson & UNC are signature wins for any HC over the last 4 yrs.?
Stanford has the same ideology that you presented above UNTIL they hired Jim Harbaugh, when will GT go and get “our version of Jim Harbaugh”?
I don’t think that CPJ is an up & coming Jim Harbaugh type that will significantly upgrade GT’s FB expectations.
When CPJ was first hired, folks ( his apologists/fans/personal cheerleaders) were predicting GT to make a MNC run in year FOUR when he had “his players” in the system for 3 yrs.
Now, we have those same GT fans that had big expectations for GT FB back when CPJ first got hired, now they are HOPING that we can go 16-10 over the next 2 seasons (an avg. of 8-5) and can stay “close” to UGA and not get embarrassed when we play muttville.
Does that sound like a fanbase that has FAITH in CPJ?
Does that sound like a CFB program that is TRENDING in the right direction?
The same folks that scream me down and criticize me, are many of the same ones that are hoping that we can go 16-10 over the next 2 seasons, if you don’t believe me, go and read some of the comments on various GT-themed Message boards.
There are too many Good HS FB players in Metro Atlanta that DO HAVE the academics for GT that we misss out on, and I feel that when GT fins their Jim Harbaugh then we’ll up grade our Recruiting just like Stanford has, they have hit back-to-back 11-win season and back-to-back BCS Bowls in a MUCH TOUGHER conference than is the ACC.
The main problem with GT FB is that many GT Fans refuse to dream big enough.

WnE, of course Clemson is a signature win(s) for GT. Not calling victories over Clemson in 2009 and 2011 signature wins is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. No rational fan could dispute that. Clemson always have more talent than GT does, they are a natural conference and geographic rival, and they have actually been a pretty good (certainly not great) team over the past several years (as you pointed out by displaying their record over the past four years when they went to the ACCCG two fo the four years). UNC has had more talent than GT during the Butch Davis era, but our coach to his credit out-coached them in several of the games. Calling UNC signature win(s) may be a bt of a stretch, but they certainly were wins against a good team in those years.

CPJ came in and had a great first year and an even better second year, and we all wanted to believe that GT was headed for even greater things. Of course we did. We are fans. You know what. We all believe deep down that if everything breaks right, GT can go undefeated in 2012. You know why. We are fans. Realistically, we know that probably isn’t going to happen. We know that on our schedule in 2012, VT, Clemson, UNC, and UGA all have significantly better talent than we do on our roster. But still we believe, because we are fans.

I have never apologized for anything CPJ has ever said or done; the only apology regarding CPJ that I know of is when he apologized for the “retards/Wal-mart” comment he made. So what the hell is Gollum talking about?

WnE…I seriously get tired of this “GT should be like Stanford” argument. Take a look at the following football records of the schools since 1995 and ask yourself…which recent run of success looks better to you?
1995 Willingham 7–4
1996 Willingham 7–5
1997 Willingham 5–6
1998 Willingham 3–8
1999 Willingham 8–4
2000 Willingham 5–6
2001 Willingham 9–3
2002 Teevens 2–9
2003 Teevens 4–7
2004 Teevens 4–7
2005 Harris 5–6
2006 Harris 1–11
2007 Harbaugh 4–8
2008 Harbaugh 5–7
2009 Harbaugh 8–5
2010 Harbaugh 12–1
2011 Shaw 11–2
1995 O’Leary 6-5
1996 O’Leary 5-6
1997 O’Leary 7-5
1998 O’Leary 10-2
1999 O’Leary 8-4
2000 O’Leary 9-3
2001 O’Leary 8-5
2002 Gailey 7-6
2003 Gailey 7-6
2004 Gailey 8-5
2005 Gailey 7-6
2006 Gailey 9-5
2007 Gailey 7-6
2008 Johnson 9-4
2009 Johnson 11-3
2010 Johnson 6-7
2011 Johnson 8-5
As good as Stanford might be RIGHT THIS SECOND…they show a pretty strong trend of no being able to keep getting solid, consecutive recruiting classes when coaches leave. As you can see…Willingham inherited a good team from Dennis Green/Bill Walsh but struggled in years 3-4 (when his first recruits became upperclassmen).
The way this trend plays out, do you honestly think DAVID SHAW will be able to keep the strong recruiting classes going? Or is he just another Buddy Teevens/Walt Harris type who will add nothing superlative tot he school’s football team?
I’m tired about hearing about how we need to be “more like Stanford”. Stanford’s recent success is solely attributed to Jim Harbaugh and recruiting Andrew Luck. I honestly think Stanford needs to be more like us…

There’s at least a flimsy reason for each one of the staff appointments. Ghost, by virtue of his name, is team chaplain, as in Holy Ghost. Also, he is the most conflicted troll. He says he wants CPJ signed to a lifetime contract, but then spends a good deal of time trying to convince us how awful he is. Ghost also has the father/son dynamic going on. Because his dad taped ankles, ghost has greater insight into CFB than the rest of us. We should follow his divine guidance, but we reject his message. I hope I didn’t crucify him too badly.

Ghost sure loves that narrative doesn’t he? I bet he worships at the altar of Vince Dooley and Erk Russell. Well, not exactly. Because if he did, he’d realize that CPJ was a prized assistant to Erk Russell.
I’m sure ghost would love to explain how is it that CPJ takes every team he’s ever been a HC for to the best W/L record in the Modern Era for each school (Georgia Southern, Navy, Georgia Tech).
I would love for ghost to explain why the list of kids on NSD is more important than the W/L record of that class 2-3 years down the road. If that were the case, he should be more critical of Mark Richt than he ever should be a CPJ.
Gotta love the narrative though…it’s easy for dumb people to comprehend and make themselves feel better.

I call an individual a “boot licking toadY”, toadies is plural, an apt description for most of you guys.
You criticize every little thing someone posts, but all you guys do is sit around and act as if CPJ is doing everything perfectly while many GT Fans know that is not the case.
Many of you guys won’t even admit that CPJ has put together a poor Coaching Staff that does not teach and develop well.
An Example, S. Hill was still catching the ball against his body into his 3rd yr. playing for CPJ, conversely UGA’s true FRESHMEN WRs showed they were “hands catchers” from the moment they stepped on the field.
Are their WRs “smarter” than ours and able to learn faster?
People that follow CFB can see things like that and the poor STs, the poor play by DLs, the poor play by LBs when they have to cover TEs & RBs in pass coverage, the poor passing mechanics by all of GT’s QBs under CPJ, and intelligent CFB Fans have to wonder is CPJ doing a good job teaching & developing good FB fundamentals.
You guys see none of that and instead look at lopsided scores vs. crappy opponents instead of GT only scoring in the low 20s vs. “real competition”.
You guys put forth a lot of mis-direction in a concerted effort to defend CPJ’s poor decisions and lack of execution as a HC WRT key areas of running a BCS-level CFB program.
Part of being a BCS level HC is making proper staffing decisions.
Name one GT asst. Coach that is considered an “ace recruiter” that can go toe-to-toe with the big boys in the SEC & ACC that we have to go up against here in Ga. for the State’s best Recruits?
CPJ put together a D-1AA/Service Academy Coaching staff because that is what he was familiar with instead of a coaching staff that would elevate GT FB.
You guys have to be blind to not see how poorly coached and how poorly run GT’s FB is, our only saving grace is that we play in the ACC and that the ACC has been very down during CPJ’s tenure.
If we were in a middle tier BCS conference instead of a lower tier BCS conference, there’s a good chance that we would have had one winning season, one .500 season and two losing seasons under CPJ.
Don’t let the weak ACC and our weak OOC schedule fool you into thinking that CPJ is a better coach than he really is.

But I think he’ll be the #2 QB after summer and get some mop-up time. I honestly see Synjyn Days being moved into the A-Back rotation and serving as the #3 QB to save Andrews and Thomas from burning a year of eligibility.
As for the Special Teams. We need to offer a Scholarship and sign Harrison Butker from Westminster…even if just for the leg that can reach the endzone. I see Rodwell getting the Punting job and not letting it go. We should be getting mad yardage from our return units with guys like Tony Zenon and Deon Hill returning kicks. Hopefully it gets better.
Beamer’s got problems on the offensive side of the ball…replacing David Wilson, Danny Coale, and several other OL and position players. I’m sure he didn’t want a big matchup to start the season either…

“Many of you guys won’t even admit that CPJ has put together a poor Coaching Staff that does not teach and develop well.”
But he doesn’t…why are you even questioning this?
“An Example, S. Hill was still catching the ball against his body into his 3rd yr. playing for CPJ, conversely UGA’s true FRESHMEN WRs showed they were “hands catchers” from the moment they stepped on the field.”
Mike Mayock from NFL Network called Stephen Hill a “natural hands catcher” therefore the drops he had in college are correctable.
“Name one GT asst. Coach that is considered an “ace recruiter” that can go toe-to-toe with the big boys in the SEC & ACC that we have to go up against here in Ga. for the State’s best Recruits?”
Charles Kelly. He got Justin Thomas to flip to GT even though Oregon and FSU were about to offer him once he de-committed from Alabama.
“If we were in a middle tier BCS conference instead of a lower tier BCS conference, there’s a good chance that we would have had one winning season, one .500 season and two losing seasons under CPJ.
Don’t let the weak ACC and our weak OOC schedule fool you into thinking that CPJ is a better coach than he really is.”
CPJ has a 4-4 record against the SEC. While that’s not great, it’s certainly what I would label as “competitive”. Certainly better than the Vandy’s and MSU’s…not quite where the UGA’s and LSU’s are. But of course, that was accomplished with recruiting budgets and academic standards far less amenable than either of those SEC schools (save Vandy).
What other parts of your narrative would you like to bring and have us completely and logically refute and destroy??

In case you missed it earlier, I wanted to share the official “WnE Manifesto” (he proofread it and offered suggestions) on his demands to finally give Coach Paul Johnson any form of positive credit. He feels these are achievable and within reason…
1) Go 12-0 in the regular season. But not your run-of-the-mill 12-0. It has to be an undefeated record against the best teams in those schools’ recent histories or else the victories don’t really count.
2) Consistently pull in Top 10 recruiting classes. Let’s ignore admission standards, disproportionate recruiting budgets, oversigning and attrition, Quantity-based recruiting rankings, how well coaches develop the recruits they get, available majors, inadmissable JuCo transfer credits, or the entire ambiguity and guessing game that is ranking HS football players. Those are nothing but excuses.
3) Have every eligible player drafted by the NFL. After all, if we’re going to hold it against CPJ that Kevin Cone and Tyler Melton don’t get drafted…then clearly the expectation is for all of his players to make it to the NFL.
4) Graduate 100% of his players with competitive degrees (Engineering preferred). Pay no attention to the fact that the regular student body fails out or transfers at a rate of 20%-30%. The fact most Football players follow a Business course of study, which is unacceptable…despite that the College of Management is ranked top 30…and is a Bachelor of Science degree which requires two advanced level math and science semesters. Perhaps GT needs to incorporate major programs (specifically for the benefit of attracting CFB mind you) even though it strays from the Institute’s core competiencies and increases overhead (at taxpayers’ expense) without the demand to generate the revenue to justify it.
5) No GT player must ever have any run-ins with the Police, fellow students or SAs, or campus administration. GT football players are expected to outperform the entire 18-22 year old age group by setting perfect examples of law-abiding citizenship. Any comparisons to CFB programs who grossly exceed societal norms for improper behavior are not acceptable without significant periods of perfect behavior.
Unless these demands are met in full…WnE WILL CONTINUE HIS CAMPAIGN OF HATE

Sounds to me like this kid O’Reilly, similar to O’Leary, would be good for Tech like O’Leary was. O’Leary carried the wonderful unis colors that Tech needs with the badly needed white socks to Central Florida, so this Irish kid might be no different for Tech. He has the high ranking- for someone who plans to warm the bench. What might be the case is the kid is desperate at this time if academics aren’t working out at AU, because they will more difficult at Tech since less coeds will be on campus than at AU. He would have to warm the bench for a year, and that means he’s extremely desperate. No player as highly ranked as him would want to warm the bench for a year. He could play on same team with Will from Sandy Creek, Francis Kallon who worked out at Alabama last Summer, and Vad Lee in the shotgun passing like crazy with the help of O’Reilly’s pass blocking.
