I AM SO TIRED OF YOU FANS WHO SAY ITS TEVINS FAULT! ( HE HAD FOUR TOUCHDOWNS)! YOU ALSO SAY FIRE GROH, DIDN’T WE JUST FIRE WOMACK! SO NOW LETS HIRE OUR THIRD D COORDINATOR IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. WHAT YOU WITNESSED TODAY IS A TEAM THAT QUIT ON THEIR COACH. CPJ IS THE ONE TREATING HIS PLAYERS LIKE DOGS, THROWING THEM UNDER THE BUS IN THE NEWSPAPER. ONE THING I SAW IN THE CLEMSON VS FL STATE GAME WERE PLAYERS WHO LOVED PLAYING FOR THERE COACH! (DABO AND JIMBO PUMPING UP THERE PLAYERS AFTER GOOD PLAYS.) I SEE THIS ALL OVER COLLEGE FOOTBALL, BUT NOT AT GA TECH. PLEASE GO AND LOOK AT ALL THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE LEFT THIS PROGRAM UNDER CPJ BEFORE THEIR PLAYING TIME WAS FINISHED! (SHAW, LUELLEN, COOPER, WATSON, HILL, THOMAS, DWYER, BURNET, AYERS, TARANT, ETC, ETC)!
THIS ALL FALLS ON CPJ, AND IT WILL NOT GET ANY BETTER WHILE WE RUN THIS STINKING H.S. SCHOOL OFFENSE. THE MTSU RB HAD OVER 200 YARDS TODAY WHILE NOT LINING UP IN THE STINKING T.O. OUR DEFENSE HAS TO PRACTICE AGAINST THIS CRAP ALL SPRING/SUMMER. THEY PREPARE FOR REAL OFFENSES ONLY FOR FOUR DAYS EACH WEEK BEFORE THE SATURDAY GAME. SO GO AHEAD AND HIRE ANOTHER D.C! THE RESULT WILL BE THE SAME AS LONG AS THE SAME HEAD COACH IS STILL PATROLLING THE SIDELINES. FINAL RECORD WILL BE 5-7 NO BOWL GAME FOR 2012!!

Paul Johnson started at GT respectably by beating UGA. In 2009 Georgia Tech won the ACC and was in the Top 10 at the end of the year. Since then it has been totally inconsistent; a losing record in 2010 and last year GT started 6-0 and ended 8-5. This year GT looked good the first 3 games and have unraveled now. I would give Paul Johnson another year to make some adjustments.. he is fierce and has had success but some changes must happen ASAP!

As an alumni who has been loyal through some bad times, the last two weeks are the straws that broke the camel’s back. Tech football is a disgrace! After last weeks game everyone said we just did not have the players and that is just a very poor way to cover up for terrible coaching. Last week we had the players to come from 19 points behind to a 17 point lead so it is clearly not the players. Last week bad coaching on both the defense and especially the supposedly vaunted offense in the forth quarter cost us the game, not the players. I did not watch today because I was expecting more of the same although I must admit that I was stunned at how bad we actually played (and I use the term played very loosely) It is clearly time to clean house and find someone that knows how to both recruit and coach at least at the ACC level. If we are not going to do that, we should drop back to a lower division where we might actually have a winning record. Sooner or later the AD, will have to understand the stupidity of giving long term contracts to marginal or totally unproven coaches that prevent their timely firing when the demonstrate why they are marginal!

GT “Realist”, Tevin had four touchdowns. How many of those could have been touchdowns for the b-back? Heck, he carried the ball 19 times for four yards. Considering the number of times the O-line got a good push in the first half but Tevin kept the ball, we didn’t wear them down because he was making poor reads. He strikes me as selfish to be honest. However, CPJ is not without fault here either. Why does the quarterback always drop back the wrong way then either throw the ball off the wrong foot or take extra time to set his feet? He is rarely faking a handoff. He is just wasting time. CPJ is teaching them this, and it is a terrible habit. The lineman do not block well in passing situations, and the RT Kidney should not be playing college football, there is a reason he was a walkon. The defense was pushed around. No one played with any heart. When there is no heart, that points towards the leadership, both from the coaching staff and the senior players.

The players quit. I haven’t seen that many times in my 60 years of watching Georgia Tech. I’m a big supporter both financially with the Alexander-Tharpe Fund and as a season ticket holder. I will never quit on GT football, but this is painful. Our home field advantage seems to be gone, but there is one good thing. We won’t have to go to another lousy bowl game which we have been losing lately and which the payout barely covers the expense of going. The season is done. There is only one way to salvage anything out of it, and that’s in Athens.

Disgusted doesn’t begin to describe my feeling. Losing by 21 at home to MTSU is inexcusable. There aren’t any excuses. The players aren’t being motivated and they aren’t executing. We’ve had horrible tackling for YEARS with slight glimpses of improvement but then a full regression once something goes wrong. I hope we can keep the bowl streak going, but at this point, maybe it’s better to not qualify for a bowl so that major changes can happen.

wow, this was an absolute disgrace.

Al Groh is not a good DC. When our defense wasn’t standing around clueless (how do you let a big slow tight end lumber down the middle of your D like that?), they appeared to be allergic to tackling. Don’t go for the hit, don’t drop your shoulder 3 yards out and rush blindly towards where you think the ballcarrier might be. Wrap your arms around the guy! Poor preparation, poor execution.
Tevin Washington is not a good QB. Can’t throw, can’t read the option. What’s he doing back there? And THANK YOU Outside Observer – someone else has finally brought up his terrible footwork. I’ve only been trying to say it for the past two years (though I remember Nesbitt would do it too so it’s not 100% TW’s fault).
CPJ is not a good fit for us. He did okay at first, but that was with players recruited by Gailey. Now that he has a full, experienced roster of his own players though, we were supposed to take a big leap forward. Instead, we get embarrassed at home to a Sun Belt school. We can’t win bowl games, we can’t beat VT or Clemson regularly and UGA hardly at all, and nearly every year we lose at least one game a year that we have no business losing (MTSU this year, Virginia last year, Miami pasted us at home in 2010, etc.). That to me is a failure of recruiting and motivation.

(also, what’s up with Orwin Smith the past two weeks?)

OJF,I too have been a Jacket for 55 years and wasa graduate. I do agree with you and others that believe we could be okay with a formidable defense. In my time starting back with Bud Carson, the only coaches with success were Ross and O’leary. If you remember also those were celebrated defenses. When a team averages 30 some odd points a game, a great defense then allows for much success. And correct, we don’t recruit with SEC type teams but don’t need to with this offense if we had a flying to the ball, hard attitude defense!!
I’m willing to give CPJ more time I he makes adjustments to coaching staff and continues to add more passing to offense.

Rocket Science = hire a defensive minded coach from the lineage of the best defensive minds in football right now as HC….considering Kirby Smart would never come to Tech, you then go get Lance Thompson who loves Tech + hire an offensive minded coach from the lineage of the best offensive minds in football right now as OC…..considering Kliff Kingsbury would never leave A&M to come to Tech, you then go get Phillips from Baylor and pay him big $$$.

I’ll add that Lance Thompson is also regarded as one of the best recruiters in the SE.

Fire Groh, name Andy McCallum interim DC for the season, Scour the country for the best young defensive mind and bring him in to bring this D to level it should be. 4-3, 3-4, 3-3-5, I don’t care what the scheme is as long as it is fly to the ball and knock you hat off style of D.

Bring back Giff Smith to be your closer in recruiting. We’ve lost too many highly ranked players over the last few years because Tech can’t close the deal. Players that are both academically capable and are 4-5 star recruits.

Look to George Godsey and bring him back into the fold as the next head coach. He has been learning under a master in New England, is a coach’s son and there are things CPJ can teach him as well. When it’s time for CPJ to retire then Godsey’s ready to step in and run the program. Intermingling the good things from CPJ’s offense with that Godsey has learned at the NFL level sounds like a recipe for sucess.

To GTpack on p.1: who would Tech be able to hire- nobody; each coach left Tech or did not want the job; Ross left Tech, Rogers left; Curry left, Fridgen did not want the job; they realize that Tech is not competitive in Div 1, and might need to move to Div 2(yeah, where MTSU is); Tech dropped all phys ed courses except one, required in the Junior year; I believe they need to drop that also, and have Tech become a bookworm school only, with phys ed courses available for no credit as audit courses are; Tech as you see today has become a weak athletic college; they just don’t emphasize athletics, but love to have the white students watch the black slaves on the “field” do all the sweating; when I was at Tech from ‘69 to ‘73, all students had to take 2 years of phys ed, white and black students, for a more well-rounded education; now Tech tries to educate students to watch black pro athletes and pay millionaire salaries to those blacks, in my opinion; Tech is really weak in athletics now as an entire school; look at how Cunningham bowled over Tech today; alot of that has to do with Dan Radikovich as AD; I see Tech in the future as dropping out of athletics and focusing on sitting on softy behinds to watch sports played by blacks preferably, as Southern plantation owners watched, then watch the Falcons, Hawks and Braves the same way; it’s just a new Tech now; they should drop out of Div 1 quickly, and join the conference that Harvard, and the Ivy League schools are in; believe me, though, Tech wasn’t always a panty waist school of weaklings

Ol’ JacketFan,

The only problem with your theory is that Belichick coaches who have left him as offensive minded guys haven’t had the greatest success…..no where near what his defensive coaches have had. Which is why I lean to Lance Thompson as HC. He’s 54, young enough, loves GT, is one of the best recruiters in the SE and one of the best Tech has ever had, and he’s learned from both Saban and Monte Kiffin for the last 10 years.

Why would you want to hire anyone to come and work under CPJ. His superiority complex would not allow him to tutor anyone.

His defense is to have his offense keep the ball. IT AIN’T WORKING CPJ.

There are upsets and there are embarrassments. Today was no upset. The better team won and would win again if we played them next week. Truth is GT is a very average team and I’m being kind. Rad should start to take notice quickly. Johnson is the Hewitt of football. The man simply can’t coach. Has underperformed in most of the games that have really mattered. Al Groh needs to be dismissed immediately. I don’t want to hear about the players we didn’t have today. Shouldn’t matter.

In addition to all the above, our QB is simply not a winner. GT is not going to a significant bowl if any. May as well play Lee now. The season is done. You know you suck when Duke looks better than you. That’s bad. Bottom line is GT is simply not getting the athletes and nobody wants to come in and play in Johnson’s system with GT’s curriculum requirements. It is what it is and it ain’t pretty. GT is like the majority of the ACC. Irrelevant. Sad to see for a proud school. Realize today that UVA lost to LA Tech, Cincy beat VT, Mid Tenn beat GT. Black eye for the ACC.

Delbert; what is yours? This is a silly comment by you. Where have I been wrong; do they not line up in the triple option almost every play. Am I wrong. I can say I played pro football or I can say I am a high school coach, but who would know. FWIW; I played on an option offense in high school. I was a WR. I have coached little league for 5 years and just love the game. I am not an expert, but neither are you if you don’t think what tech runs is the triple option on almost every down.

Everybody take a deep breath – Do we really want to have a huge national debate about what is going on at Georgia Tech? These are the issues as I see them: DEFENSE – poor tackling, no pass rush, no intesity on defense.
Tevin is a great kid and I love him dearly – however, he is making poor reads on the option and he cannot throw the ball effectively. It is obvious. We need to run a 4 – 3 defense, we cannot run the 3 -4 effectively, nor can we recruit for that defensive scheme. We need to put Vad Lee in at quarterback and open up the offense – pistol, shotgun, you name it. I still love the JACKETS as I know the rest of you guys do. GO JACKETS – THWG

I love watching you argue about what type of option you run. It is the triple option and Cloudgirljacket is right. Oldman is dillusional to compare what Tech does to Oregon. It is an high school offense that no one else runs.

You guys are funny arguing over what type of option you run. Either way; it is terrible. FWIW; cloudgirljacket is right that it is the triple option formation and no other major conference team runs it. Oldmanjacket is dillusional to compare this to Oregon

MAKDAWG – I would argue that Tech doesn’t run it the triple option, either. At least not effectively.

They said when he hired Paul Johnson that we would either set up forward 5 years or backwards 10 years. Sadly, the latter is true. The triple option is not going to work, its time for a change. We have to go back to real football. It will have to start with FIRING the whole coaching staff.

Delbert; it is easier to ignore the name calling. If you try it, they will go away.

Makdwag you might want to do a bit of homework before spouting off and confirming how unedcated you are about about what consitutes a “formation”. Once again for the football challenged, the triple option is a series of 3 plays consisting of (1) the give to the fullback ( or B back) on the dive play (2) the QB keeper and (3) the pitch to the wingback (or A back). This is the basic triple option, there is NO “triple option” formation. Sheesh how freaking hard is that to understand.
