I would take the guy who has actually won national championships – Paul Johnson. He knows what it takes to be the best around your competition. He won the ACC in his 2nd try. He will be playing for a national championship before any of the other guys will.

It is like playing 2 on 2 and one of the guys is the Michael Jordan of the 3 championships. Doesn’t matter who the second guy is. Johnson for the win…….swoosh!

RomeDawg did you see the photo of Stacy Sorrils(?) and the recruit? Richt has 1 head coaching job at 1 school and he has been OK in the SEC east. Johnson was won every place he coached and that was not easy at Navy. Put Richt and staff at say Kentucky and do you really think Richt would have won anything and had a job after 9 years?

As a GT fan I have to go with the 2 Marks. Johnson vs Richt is essentially a wash – they are both good fits with their respective schools. Although Fox has only been at UGA a short while and so the jury is still out, he did have a good record at Nevada and he has made great strides in recruiting and in energizing the fan base. The obvious weak link of the 4 is Hewitt. In 10 years at GT he has had a winning record in the ACC regular season only once. He couldn’t get a winning conference record in a down year with a lottery pick and another 1st rounder. I foresee continuing mediocrity until DRad finds the money to buy him out.

Paul Johnson doesn’t need the backing of a football factory to win. He doesn’t need a squad of 4-5 star recruits to win. He wins with 2-3 star recruits with a few 4 stars sprinkled in. Ole man boobs like so many haters like to call him put one over in Athens two seasons ago. People call him a big meany just because he says what he thinks and does not give you coachspeak. I like how Paul Johnson handles himself much better than the guy over in Athens who prays before he lays in his tanning bed.

Mark Fox and Paul Hewitt is a toss up. One seems bogged down in mediocrity yet has achieved a NC game appearance and one has done absolutely nothing other than talk big and look good in pictures.

Bradley, your obvious GT bias is highly apparent in your ranking Johnson as the best of the 4. Richt had more success in his first 2 years on the job at UGA than Johnson has had at GT. Just what makes Johnson better than Richt as a pure coach? The fact that he runs a gimmick offense that will crash and burn in 2 years? Ask any college football coach in the country and they’d tell you that Richt is the better of the 2 coaches on the field. Now Johnson definitely has a bigger mouth but that doesn’t make him a better coach, it just makes Richt the more wise one.

Paul Hewitt drags the Tech coaches down to the bottom of the ACC, SEC, and Southern conference. Since he got the lifetime contract, he doesn’t care anymore and this year’s team will be worse than two years ago since he forgot to recruit a big man and had to search on craig’s list for one this summer.

You Stupid, Blind Ignorant, Techie Nerds….

You guys just don’t get it that Paul Manboobs Johnson’s offense is a GIMMICK!!! He has done everything with another coaches recruits. Once they are all gone there will be some frustrating days in the Atl Ghetto. NOBODY worth a darn wants to play in that in order to boost themselves to the NFL……

Exhibit A: Jonathon Dwyer, the “big star” all you idiots were screaming “1st round pick” about, beind drafted somewhere like, 865th overall. If you think RB recruits didn’t take note, then get back on your Dragon Con ticket website.

Exhibit B: Nick Marshall, the “silent commit to Tech”, who no doubt would have been the perfect athlete to play QB in that gimmick, HS offense. After being promised the QB role with the Nerds, he then decided to commit to UGA to play DB!!!!! The kid knew by running the gimmick, his chances would be shot. Welcome to UGA Nick!! See “Champ Bailey”.

Keep fooling yourselves Techies, but that football coach of yours is a complete IDIOT!!

This is a real easy choice because one of the four is a terrible coach. The other three can really coach. The one that can’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag is Paul Hewitt. I saw N.C. State press his team the last three minutes of a game in which Tech was up by 14 and they looked worse than a junior high team. He called two or three timeouts and could still not get them to do what needed to be done. I guess he had not “taught” them what to do in practice. The practice court is like a classroom, so I would have to give him an “F” as a teacher. No one knew where to line up. No one knew what to do. It was unbelievable! He had all of these future NBA stars that looked like lost puppies. Paul Hewitt can recruit, but can’t coach! He would do well on the cover of GQ, but not on the sidelines.

Coach Paul Johnson can flat out coach! He can make adjustments during the course of the game and at half time better than anyone that I have seen. If he were able to get the same players that UGA gets, then all of the other teams would be in trouble. The only knock against him or his program is, does his offense really prepare his players for the pass first, run second philosophy of the NFL?

Coach Mark Fox can also really coach, just like Coach Paul Johnson. The real question will be whether he can recruit the level of players that will allow him to win the SEC or to do real well in the NCAA Tournament. He has shown lately that he may be able to do that, in getting a commitment out of Thornton and the kid from Greenville High School in Georgia. Once he gets it going, then the top recruits will hop on the bandwagon. So, I personally think that Coach Mark Fox will get it done big time at Georgia. How fast, will be determined by how fast he gets the “big time” recruits.

Coach Mark Richt is a great recruiter and a good coach. He is an even better person. He is the kind of person that you would want your son to play for. His strengths are recruiting and building personal relationships. Also, loyalty is one of his strengths. Loyalty to UGA, to his players, to his coaches, and to his family. However, like Bobby Cox in some situations, Coach Richt is sometimes loyal to a fault. Coach Martinez should have been gone a year or two earlier, but they had been great friends since their Miami days. Finally, however, it was obvious even to Coach Richt, that a change had to be made. Bobby Cox was so loyal to Kelly Johnson that Martin Prado was kept waiting in the wings for at least one year too long. Right now, Omar Infante should be starting somewhere. Let’s see, last week vs. the Mets in three games he got 4 hits, 3 hits, and 2 hits. Then Sunday night he gets 4 more hits. Bobby, like Coach Richt two years ago, needs to make a change, but he won’t because he is too loyal to certain people. Chipper, at this point in his career, needs to be the utility player, not Omar Infante.

So, the question was, do you take the two GT coaches or the two UGA coaches? Well, because Paul Hewitt can’t coach, you have to take the pair from UGA, even though Coach Paul Johnson is the best coach of the four!!!

The better topic would be to compare these coaches after their first 2 years at the respective schools…the answer would clearly be the 2 Paul’s.

I agree with a few people on there. Paul Hewitt just took his team to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament and competed for an ACC Title. And Mark Fox took his team, well, to the cellar. And sure, you could make the argument that Georgia Tech has more talent and potential than Georgia does, and that they’ve underachieved. But isn’t that the same thing when it comes down to Georgia football? More talent, more potential, underachievers? Both teams play in the toughest conference for their respective sport, with the ACC winning 5 of the last 10 NCAA Championships, and the SEC winning 5 of the last 10 NCAA Football Championships. Paul Hewitt has made it to a national championship game, Mark Richt has not. Paul Hewitt has made it to two ACC title games, as has Mark Richt in his conference. So, I think a better question for this article is, who would you rather have? Mark Richt for your football team, or Paul Hewitt for your basketball team? I think Mark Richt has an edge in that category, but then let’s match up Mark Fox and Paul Johnson. Paul Johnson just won an ACC Championship and took his team to a BCS bowl game, and Mark Fox just finished last in the SEC. You tell me..

I’ll take the Pauls.

Putting Richt in your pair is like putting Michael Jordan or Warren Buffet in your pair in his prime.

Hmm, let’s see. Richt. 19 top 10 finishes in final polls in 24 years of coaching. Helped FSU finish in the top 5 final rankings 12 years in a row, Bowden had none before or after Richt. Richt’s got 4 consecutive top 10 finishes at Georgia, something Saban or Meyer have not been able to accomplish.

Yeah, uh, I’m going with ANY pair that has Mark Richt in it.

Love the analogy eastman jacket. This is probably a better question to ask after next years bball season. Fox had two legit NBA talents on last years team and still finished last. I understand the enthusiasm but talent does not mean everything…Hewitt looked great in the beginning but something changed. Fox could win the SEC or finish in last place again who knows. I have a wired feeling about GT basketball next year…felt the same way about the 2004 team. There are many parallels….such as losing a first round pick the year before and having solid guards…not necessarily 5 star talents…jack and Bynum weren’t super elite recruits. Maybe Shumpert, rice, Oliver and company can play the same kind of ball. We have 7 4 star players on the roster…we have enough guys to be decent down low too…I mean remember the big man we had in 2004? All we need us the 3 or 4 post players…depending on whether Sheenan returns…to score enough to allow our guards to get open looks. We are loaded at the Guard positions and I would not be surprised to see a 4 guard set for most games. College basketball is crazy who knows what could happen.

I think ugaclassof2004 makes some very valid points, I think Donnan would have been more like the GT type coach, not politically correct but a good football coach in his own right. As for this debate, I would give the nod to the Mark’s but I am biased. I do have to say, I don’t see how Bradley can make the comment Johnson is the better football coach-yes, the man has won every where he has been but Ga Southern was set up for success via Erk, Johnson was good enough to keep the ball rolling. At Navy, he could only go up and the coach that took over from Johnson has kept the ship sailing along, you could say Johnson set that up like Erk did for him. At GT, he took over a program that Chan had built up-he had trouble beating UGA but Chan did a pretty decent job and recruited all the current talent for Johnson. After 2 years in, Johnson has not accomplished as much as Richt did after year 2 because Richt won the SEC title in year two AND won his bowl game. The next year Richt went back to the SEC title game and lost to eventual national champ LSU. He won another title in his 5th year. I have my doubts GT plays for the ACC title this year or the next or the next. He will likely have GT in the mix but his division is only getting tougher with Miami and UNC picking up and VT being strong every year.

As for hoops, the nod has to go to Hewitt just based on making the title game but certainly Fox has the potential to be a solid coach. I think the one element missing from UGA hoops has been having a coach that could keep the in state talent home, along with being a solid X and O guy. U Durham was a good coach but had trouble securing the in state talent year in and year out, Harrick was a GREAT basketball coach but he never was much a recruiter-his success was based on the Hayes transfers and a couple JUCO players, and Felton I don’t think was either a great coach or recruiter. One thing you can say about Hewitt is the man can recruit.

Bottom line to me, I think this debate is a wash. I would pick Mark Richt over Paul Johnson based on his tenure in Athens and playing in the MUCH tougher SEC. I would pick Hewitt over Fox just because Hewitt made the final 2 and he has recruited better for a longer stretch-plus the fact Fox only has one year in Athens.

I’m taking the Mark’s. I think it also should show something that Tech fans are the only ones inquiring about mixing and matching. I don’t blame them though, Hewitt is very frustrating.

I think the poll would get even more interesting if you included the baseball coaches (Hall and Perno). Hall has the better record and is more consistent but Perno gets to the CWS and makes the seasons really count when the team is good. Of course since the baseball coaches don’t have the same name as the other coaches, it doesn’t fit the bill I guess.

Someone posted earlier that Mark Richt is the kind of coach you’d like your son to have… If you hadn’t noticed, a lot of people’s sons that play on UGA’s football team end up getting arrested. Just because Mark Richt is a good person and a christian doesn’t mean every person involved with UGA’s program is the same way (obviously, look at Damon Evans) or that the UGA football program has class. And because Paul Johnson gets ticked off at the media for asking him about his “gimmicky” offense after he’s won at every level and at every school he’s coached, UGA fans believe he doesn’t have “social skills”? Everyone I know who has met Paul Johnson, including my buddies who have played golf with him, say that he’s hilarious and fun to hang out with. I can’t believe a UGA fan is saying that Paul Johnson being a straight shooter and not politically correct makes him non-southern. We must have been raised in two different Souths because I learned that you tell it like it is and you’re accountable for your actions. This kind of stuff makes me furious. UGA fans can’t respect the fact that Tech has a great football coach, a coach that wins with less talent, higher academic standards, and who fixes problems when he sees them. CPJ and CMR are 1-1, as far as I’m concerned, and I truly believe that Tech has a lot more to win.

You UGA fans are funny. Paul Johnson is winning with a bunch of players who never played in that offense before, and he hasn’t even recruited the right players for that system yet. He’s won everywhere he has coached, he’s a great coach, I played against him. The reason why he wins is because its football, not rocket science. It doesnt matter what offense you run if you know how to run it, and no one has stopped it yet, not even UGA, that was a close win when a receiver dropped a wide open pass. That being said, its funny how UGA fans always says “with our good recruiting class, give us a couple of more years and we’re gonna be unstoppable.” Or “our program is on the uprise.” UGA fans say “give us a couple of years” every year, how many couple of years does Richt need? And he has been there 10 years, and the program is just now coming on the uprise, i didnt know it took that long. Saban didnt get to Bama and his fans said “give him a couple of years”, he won a NC with the other coache’s players, he hasnt even had a full recruiting class yet. Meyer didnt get to FLA and say “give me a couple years”, he also won a NC with the other coache’s players. Bama and FLA are still doing great with their current recruits. And Paul Johnson didnt say “give me a couple years” until he got the right players for his offense, he went to an ACC championship and BCS game with the other coaches players. He hasnt even had a full recruiting class yet. Paul Johnson, Nick Saban, and Meyer are great coaches who are only gonna get better when they have their players that they recruit. Richt did better with Donnan’s players, and has gotten worse with his recruited players, he has had two classes come and go. These are the same players that you UGA fans get stiffies about because they have so many stars by their name. Johnson is winning with 3 star players. Tech will eventually run the state in football unless UGA makes a change at the head….

Glory, Glory,

Nick Marshall going to UGA has nothing to do with GT’s success on offense. GT was recruiting him at DB. Idiot.

Furthermore, our “gimmick” offense led the big boy conferences in rushing last year, so I don’t know where you get that it won’t work. I mean you guys said that in year 1, and year 2, now you’re saying it in year 3. Following the trend, I’ll go ahead and predict you be puking that sentence in year 4, year 5, and so on because it’ll always be effective. GT’s offense really isn’t a whole lot different than UF’s other than our QB goes from under center and I don’t see you proclaiming UF’s offense doesn’t work.

You’re a tool.

I’d take both Paul’s in a landslide. I like how Dawgs fans attack Paul Johnson because he’s honest. Not like Richt telling recruits there is only one more spot just to get them to commit and that not being case as he would easily take Xavier Ward as well.

And it does matter that a coach can get more from less, that means hes a great coach. Richt has way more talent, supposedly, and he cant win with them, let alone control them. Thats not a good sign when you have a lot of talent and cant win with them. And if UGA is ok with winning 8 to 9 games a year and playing in any bowl game, than Richt is your guy. Paul Johnson’s players respect him, and quite frankly, are scared to get in trouble off the field because of fear of the consequences. And dont try and make it seem like players get in trouble off the field all of the time at major football programs, because they dont, and just because you dont hear about it doesn’t mean the police or anyone esle is covering for the players. Its just that Richt is losing control of his program, and the players get in trouble more there than other programs players do.

Like most on this board, I would pick the coaches for the school I root for — the 2 Pauls. And although Hewitt makes me pull my hair out in some games, I actually regained a lot of faith in him during the post season last year. It will be interesting to watch him next year when he doesn’t have the one and dones on the team. I actually think he, unlike Cremins, does better when he has no big stars on the team since he plays so many players.

I think if I was impartial about this, I would be equally excited about Tech and UGA football this Fall. I truly think both of them have a chance if the cards fall in place to do something really special. But in basketball, I just don’t see UGA with much of a chance to be a top tier team. Hewitt’s team, on the other hand, is a BIG question mark. I’m very happy with the 1 through 3 positions, with 4 and 5 being something that could be good with the players who were redshirted last year. If they come up big, Tech could do at least as well as last year — compete in the tourney and make the NCAA’s. I just don’t see how anyone can pick Fox over Hewitt if you consider the coach has to recruit AND coach to be successful.

And regardless of what you say about Hewitt, I think he can recruit with the top programs in the country — and Fox has not proven this yet. I would say, with very few exceptions, there are not many teams who can compete at the NCAA’s without talent. If you say that talent makes up 75% of the success — and coaching 25% — how in the world can you choose Fox over Hewitt with what we know now?

I hate Tech with every fiber of my being. Still I think Paul Johnson is an outstanding coach.
Hewitt has had every chance to succeed but probably won’t last the season. Fox is creating a comepetive program (now if we can just keep him…I don’t want to see another Tubby situation)
and Richt, who isn’t the riverboat gambler that Bowden was on offense (nor is he the vanilla type coach that Dooley was) has put a lot of wins on the board (and that is what the game is all about).
If he could just Florida, I would consider him one of the elite coaches in the game. Unfortunately, he is a distant third in the SEC to Saban and meyer.

If Johnson had the talent Richt has he would be at least .500 against the Gators, and playing for SEC and maybe national championships 3 out of every 5 years. If Richt was at GT, or had the talent that Johnson has it would be Gailey all over again, ok maybe 8 win seasons instead of 7. Not meant to be a slam against Richt, just the way it is. Hewitt is a complete joke as a coach, and really doesn’t accomplish anything with all the talent he recruits. Just a terrible coach. Fox seems to be the real thing, but he needs a couple of more years to see. However, I would swap you Hewitt for Fox in a heartbeat and throw in a few basketballs and maybe a player or two, Hewitt certainly doesn’t know what to do with them…basketballs or players.

i agree with glory glory. wite about how the gimmick offense of pj will ruin the career of a pretty good football player. ask all the nfl coaches you come across and gm’s. PJ hasnt won jack at tech with his own players. how well of a coach do you have to be to run the same five players over and over. you and i could coach tech then. coach richt is the better coach and the recruits know this because they keep going to uga and not tech. he recruits better players than PJ and that is a big part of coaching. . most of pj recruits are cast off of other div 1a teams but dont want to play div1aa which i give gredit to the kids for not giving up. but there is know way pj is the better coach. he wins with other coaches recruits in div 1a and his wins at navy were mostly against a lesser talented bunch than they are playing now so when his recruits are all tech has watch the losses start adding up. we will all see what he can do when he doesnt have gailys players soon enough. also pj would recruit better if he ran a different style of offense but because he doesnt know or have a different style (like coach richts pro style) he is stuck with div 1aa talent.

so i would take the two Marks as they are way better coaches

ATL X man…you talk more about GT than UGA…get a life. Worry about your own team and we will keep winning with this offense. PJ is 80 games over .500 for a reason…but keep up the negative energy….we proved wrong that whole cant produce a NFL Wide Receiver myth last year and look forward to proving you wrong again….you will always see the Tech glass as half empty. Paul Johnson took a 3 star wide out and made him a blocking machine that also caught over 1000 receiving yards in our offense. These blocking skills made him very appealing and he was the NUMBER ONE WIDE RECEIVER taken in the draft….yes the NFL thought he had the best set of skills…and he learned those skills by being coached in this offense for two whole years….not anything to do with Gailey. He was…as ive said a 3 star recruit. PJ has won with Gaileys players but that is not a bad thing…it shows he can win no matter the personnel…because many of these kids had to start from ground zero in blocking techniques…etc. Its in your envious dog nature. End of discussion…pay attention to your own team. One would think your a bitter Tech reject with all the negative talk about our school. But I am making a blind assumption. You will look very foolish in 3 or 4 years when PJ is competing for the real prize…the MNC. Something we have won more recently than your program…just a friendly reminder. PJ is recruiting his kids and they are 3 and 4 star players….the same talent group that Gailey recruited. PJ is doing better than Gailey in terms of AVG stars…our defensive recruiting is really good….just wait. I promise you wont be disappointed. I watched him do this at GSU and Navy…now he has legit talent….3 and 4 star players can do just fine.

Wow. Bear Bryant and Dooley were masters at keeping their mouths shut. So was Dodd. All three would their tongues off before saying anything negative about an opposing coach, player or fans. Bryant was the master, though Dooley took the concept and created his own style.

Spurrier is infamous for his mouth while at Florida and before games actually started with the Redskins. Since then he has learned a little humility … funny how that happens when your team loses to Vanderbilt and UConn.

I got to know these coaches when I was a sports writer and know from first hand experience how they handled communication issues. A lot of folks could learn a few things about working with people from them.

Coaching styles are another thing, and Bryant ran a tough camp. Dooley and Dodd had tough camps, but Bryant’s was more fierce.

There’s a difference between communication and coaching … just like management styles in the business world.

I respect Richt for playing in a more challenging conference but I’ve lost most of my respect for him as a coach. Instructing his team to run off of the sideline to dance in the endzone at the UF game is despicable. Also, the number of his players that have run-ins with the law each summer is an embarrassment to the school and speaks volumes toward his ability to build student athletes. The team is not good enough to ignore these issues.

In a similar vein, I have a great deal of respect for Hewitt playing in an more challenging basketball conference but I can’t think of him as a great coach. He knows how to recruit outstanding players but simply isn’t enough of a coach to keep them around. It takes a great man to outweigh the temptations of the NBA and Hewitt is not that man.

If I have to choose I’d go with the Paul’s, simply because they do more with less. Attracting players and keeping them eligible to play is much more difficult at Tech. It’s easy to win when dealt a great hand, it’s impressive to win with something less.
