This really is a disgrace for Tech fans…..think the writing is on the wall….6-7, 6-0 then collapse….this loss….. PJ has made his bed with Groh and Washington……
For all defending Washington, he makes horrible decisions when the game is on the line. Has for most of 3 years. Washington is to PJ as Ball was to Gailey. …..

If Groh isn’t relived soon…VERY soon…PJ will be gone before 2013. The novelty is up….sad, sad day for Tech fans.

Mark, Spot on, again.

You know, as fans I think Tech fans are pretty patient. We understand it takes a while to build your team, get your system in, recruit your players, install your culture, etc. We know it would be tough to be a perennial top 10 program, it’s just not the kind of school we are but a consistent top 20-25 is the level we should demand! We do want a passionate, fundamentally sound team that plays tough, smart football, win some, lose some but improve, make changes, pay attention, get better.

This feels like we’re repeating the same mistakes year after year. (Kansas 2010, hello?) Utah last year, mediocre recruiting classes (even though the ratings don’t matter), really bad defense – I mean really bad year after year, listless play…it’s so discouraging.

I have faith but now it’s that there will be big changes for next year!

This is year 5 and this is the result? We have lost patience, it’s time to get better or get out man. That’s the bottom line.

The thing is….I’m just disgusted. This team is the result of PJ”s recruiting and Groh’s defensive strategy. Think those who said PJ won with Chan’s players are being proved correct. This program is beyond free fall at this point. One can only imagine if Groh didn’t blitz at Va Tech on the last play before the tying FG what would have happened to the season.
But unlike the first 2 years, the luck isn’t on Tech’s side. Groh is obviously not very good here. Tech needs to plan ahead and go with Lee at QB.Washington can’t deliver in the clutch. 7 points in the 2nd half says it all.PJ has to know all of this.

past time for heads to roll. unfortunately it will cost tech much money to do so. we haven’t had a defensive coordinator since paul johnson took control at tech. we run an offense that is only capable of beating vastly inferior opponents. all of our opponents beat us when they stack the line of scrimmage and we don’t throw enough to have any confidence or success at it. we can win 5 to 7 games per year with this type offense and a good defense— 3 to 4 games with this offense and poor defense. when we play teams that as good or better than us we have little chance of success as run the ball 3 times and punt doesn’t bode well. sigh. will have to listen to the woof, woof, woofs again.

well i came here to say this:

“And the excuse made after the Miami game — that Georgia Tech was two plays from being 4-0 — no longer holds currency.”

you beat me to it mark.

ok, first groh then cpj.

i held my breath long enough, it is done.

i had my apprehensions when chan was fired essentially thinking the tech men behind it had delusions of grandeur. their grandeur was that of 1952. i sat on the sidelines with my grandfather at the 46 yd line 6 rows up from 56 to 65 just off the old cinder track. was taught football by the tech track great buddy fowlkes before he became a politician so i go back a ways. tech has always been good at 6-4 to 7-3 with a sporadic year greater than that during that time. they seemed to forget that is tech and should be the expectations and graceful enough to praise it when it happens. they didnt and this is what they have gotten.

so be it. they denounced former ad who was right on. that wasnt complacency but a reasonable bar if the program is run honestly which it wasnt. they forgot chan had to coach em up to get past that penalty with fewer pieces than his lying predecessor or hand the reins off to the guy that followed who reaped the rewards of his hard work at recruiting skill players.

mark i know you are believer in cpj. surely your doubts about this assessment is beginning to mount?

@ George.Defense is the main culprit,of course……BUT,.the offense couldn’t sustain a drive to finish off Miami. Washington isn’t awful…but he wants to do too much by himself. On the 4th down in the OT, you had 2 OL’s expecting a pitch to the B-back.Washington had a TD if he pitched like the play was supposed to be executed.You don’t have 3 men running away from the line on such a crucial play if the QB didn’t make a choice to be a hero instead of executing the called play.
He didn’t rally the team in the 2nd half against a team that LOST to McNeese St.. Nice kid, no doubt. Has proven time after time last 3 years( save Clemson game) that he doesn’t have what it takes to lead in this offense.Please…that Duke win was a game that shouldn’t have gone down to the wire.Tech has to go with Lee…..and Days.He isn’t Reggie Ball…but he isn’t a kid that should be the starting QB. He’s a senior…..he has had many chances…..6-7, 8-5…..2-3…..4-8?

I’ve been a Tech fan since 1952 and I have seen highs and lows but I do believe we are at the bottom of the barrel at this point. Tech needs to send DRAD, CPJ and GROH packing; the Tech fans need to hold the athletic dept. leaders accountable, quit making lame excuses for losing or get out od Div 1 football altogether. If CPJ is the coach at GT next season then we should just pack it up anyway. This program is really pathetic.

Here is the inside scoop: D-Rad is in trouble. Bud Peterson already dislikes him because he got us on probation. He was lucky to keep his job after the NCAA ruling came down. Removing D-Rad sends a clear signal to CPJ: When your $12mm buyout is reduced to $4mm (two years from now), you are gone.

Al Groh will be lucky to survive the season, but the problem is that there is no viable alternative to coordinate. CPJ will have his wings seriously clipped next year… the plan is already in motion. Trust me.

Tech — as in Radakovich and others have got to realize if they don’t make changes — starting with getting rid of Groh — they will start losing their fan base and big time alumni support. That in college football these days is serious business. When the players do not want to play for the coaching staff — and ours don’t — you cannot win. I’m sure Tech had better athletes than MTSU but they were out coached and MTSU had more desire and deserved to win. Those qualities can beat talent in college football. Radakovich needs to quit worrying about how nice he might look in a suit and tie and take care of business. Al Groh has got to go!

I think it’s fairly simple. We don’t have the talent to win while playing like “girlie men”. If they don’t have their heads in the game they will have their a** handed to them like they did today. It seems PJ thinks he can win with mediocre talent because his offense doesn’t need superstars. He might win more than he should with lesser talent because of the scheme, but he will never win big. Superior talent wins. You will NEVER win big without a great defense! Ask coach Saban. PJ doesn’t seem to care much about the defense. Until he changes that, we can expect the same lack luster results.

This takes me back to 2002 when, watching from UGA’s student section in my white and gold, witnessed Ricardo Wimbush and the entire tech defense give up against Georgia and lose that game 51-7. People say “Don’t blame the offense, it’s the defense” and I say that is part of the story. It’s the lackluster play by our senior quarterback who can’t seem to get a yard when it matters only 1 out of 10 times and then puts our defense back on the field. And CPJ is too stubborn to do anything about it, after all, he’s a genius and will call plays to the quarterbacks strengths and away from his weakness… right. CPJ has a few plays called “dead duck pass for interception” that seem to work every time. And another thing, we’re like most teams who can afford to redshirt our 4 star talent, I mean it’s best to sit our defensive freshman talent and let them learn ALL the facets of the game (like losing) before they take the field… we don’t need them, particularly this Kallon kid who can only rush the quarterback and Gamble who is likewise a stud. They can use their redshirt year and learn to lose like the rest of the team right now. CPJ and Groh are such geniuses ….

I don’t see PJ gone this year, but I would imagine that it would be soon. I think a total analysis is that while we don’t expect to be in the top 10 every year, there is a expectation of being competitive, and that includes being able to beat UGA two or three times a decade. We need solid football fundamentals, that can play the speed and pro sets. Young coaches that will be here and have energy levels. DRad is all about money, he is not about winning. Which we do need money but his skill sets don’t meet the real needs of GT. We also need to avoid the Curry/Rodgers/Lewis eras.

Groh is not the problem. CPJ and his ridiculous offense is the problem.
People forget, a defense has to practice against an offense that simulates its opponents. Defending PJ’s offense all week is not getting them ready for the next opponent. Plus they are overmatched because the real blue chips do not want to come here and practice against those cut blocks all week. Neither do the blue chip offensive guys that might have NFL aspirations. If he could get Gailey’s players here, yes he might start winning again.

I am about as regular to the games as I can be. However, what I do see a lot of is over reliance on some super old folks coming to the game. They aren’t going to be around much longer. GT needs to develop an expanded fan base ASAP. This requires winning, an attractive game day experience (get rid of the rentacops) and culinary fare. Also beef up the cell and wi-fi in the stadium and no more Blue Hose, MTSU, Jacksonville State games. Auburn, Georgia Southern, Georgia State and former SEC foes.. Then remodel rest of stadium as the east side. But winning is everything.

Pretty simple:

1) Your defense during weekly practice doesn’t face a pro-style offense so it isn’t ready to face the competition you meet.

2) Your scout team cannot imitate pro-style offenses GT defenses face on Saturday’s by a long shot..

3) Paul Johnson doesn’t recruit the kind of defensive line,an you find in the top 20 programs (Gailey did).

4) Johnson won big at Ga Southern but often had to put up 50 to win. He didn’t spend much time recruiting the D side then either.

5) Thus, 1 -4, you are struggling.

Defense wins championships so let’s start with Groh’s scheme. Tech cannot recruit the right players to run a 3-4. To run a 3-4 you need 4-6 280 to 320 pound down lineman. Grantham can recruit that athlete @ UGA — not even possible @ GT. Also the purpose of those down lineman are to be double teamed and keep the lineman off the linebackers — if the three down lineman fail to hold the o line, it is all over. MTSU’s lineman were all over the linebackers. Additionally, it looked like the lineman play the C gap alot — if the nose guard is contained by the center and the guard, the tackle simple turns the down lineman in the c gap outward, the full back hits the hole and takes the line backer and the running back is in the secondary. MTSU ran that all day. Finally, the slants that both Miami and MTSU threw consistantly occurred because the line backers had the fill the gaps in the d line thus taking them out of that zone that the route is run. Guys, it all starts with that line of scrimmage and our athletes can not run the 3-4. We must have 4 down lineman since we can’t get the athlete to play three dwon lineman. Sorry Al – you either adjust or you gotta go!!

Finally, zero team heart…the coach has to instill fight, but can’t strap on the helmet…a sickening display of gutless performance.
Like Clint Eastwood said, “If he’s not getting the job done, it’s time for him to go!”

Sitting at the game yesterday and watching the debacle, I noticed how vanilla Groh’s defense is. The team stood like wooden Indians before every play and then we rarely blitzed or changed up defensive coverages. Contrast that with our offense with its motion and many options after the play starts. The Falcons defense has less talent than the offense, just like the Jackets. But the defense won the game against the Broncos a couple of weeks ago by disguising what was to come by bouncing in and out and standing up and disguising coverages. Fun for the players and fans. CPJ’s offensive philosophy gets points–just need the ability to switch into a spread option with our talented backs out as receivers when we need to play catch-up or the option is being stuffed. The Jackets need to apply that same mindset to defense.

I don’t see many excuses on here. A few but not many. What you see is venting. Venting and speculation as to what the problem is and how to fix it. I think the overwhelming majority of Tech fans are pretty much in agreement that the Jackets suck bad right now.

I don’t think Tech can budget the firing of Johnson. Financial reality is just that. But I’m not looking at the numbers DRad has at his disposal.

In my years of playing and watching football, I have come to realize one thing. BEWARE of coaches who are married to a system. I’ve seen it do too much damage to a number of programs on all levels. I will say I was a staunch supporter of the CPJ hire. I have had second thoughts long before yesterday. This offense is a beauty to watch when it is clicking. But at what cost ?

Groh may be an issue, but no coach is going to look that good without good players, and Tech doesn’t have enough of those. Johnson has been a pretty good coach, but he seems to be losing this team. They seemed to quit yesterday. It’s clear now that Va. Tech and Virginia aren’t very good offensively. Teams have found something in Tech’s defense and are exploing it. And it’s not going to get any better with Clemson on Saturday. I’m afraid that could be very, very ugly.

As much as I love GT, I was rooting for MT yesterday. The kids have completely given up on CAG and CPJ. It was obvious in the 4th quarter of the Miami game that CPJ had given up on them too with the horrific playcalling. I was rooting for MT because that would be the only way something would get shaken up. We have too many GT fans in denial about the future of this program under CPJ and would let the hemming and hawing go on for a couple more seasons if Tech has won. Yesterday’s loss left no doubt that we are in serious trouble. And now something must be done.

I don’t even know what to say other than Tech is truly representative of the type of defense played in the ACC.

Can anyone explain why the ACC still gets an automatic BCS bid? Seriously…

Tech needs a uni identity. They are trying an Oregon walk in closet wardrobe, but they need a Tech-style Auburn national championship team wardrobe Cam Newton played in under Ted’s Roof, just a two uni light or dark combination, nothing complex.

Most people identify with the big schools as fans. If you don’t want to do that, and Tech is closed, and you don’t want to identify with the pros, you need to drop out of sports and find a hobby or read or do both.

GT 55, why support CPJ if he denies the reality that the 3optoff is passable and runnable from against a good defensive team that clearly shuts it down on every play? Can you imagine what is going to happen against Clemson, Georgia, and maybe even Duke this year? NC too. Tech needs to drop back in a wildcat as proven by yesterday at end of game when TW was getting creamed, needing a blocker the wildcat would provide on both sides of him. They also need a tight end, and screen plays, perhaps shovel passes also, depending on the density of the dirt and their efficiency curves at those particular times of the game that enable them to shovel or not.

The proper word-is Humiliated! I’ve not seen such poor defense in 57 years of watching GT football.
Personally, I’ve never cared for Al Groh, and agree he should be terminated now while we are still in the first half of the season, and have time to pull it out, although an uphill battle…

Perhaps our 2013 schedule should include:

Agnes Scott College
The Georgia School for the Blind
The Snellville Kindercare Center
Duke
The Georgia Methodist Children’s Home.

I hope our defense can hold each of these to under 40 points.

I give up. There is nothing else to say.

Rotting from the top: D Rad cost a Acc championship and scholarships and has not been held responsible in any way. What other program would tolerate the arrogance and lack of responsibility. He would have been fired then if in the private sector. Good example of the accountability of a bureaucracy. Does not represent Tech. No apology, just arrogance.

Coaching selection speaking for himself: I feel like punching someone or hanging myself after losing – everyone wants to play for a violent suicidal coach. Not a head coach. After last years remarks re: Walmart – CEO is Tech grad, and using the “r” word – only to get whipped. Not a representative of the Tech I am proud of.

Does no one else see this and care. Time for a change now.

Bobby Cremins AD, Mark Price assistant AD. Start the Football Coach search now. Atlanta is a great opportunity being squandered and mismanaged. Remember Coach Ross? He did that at Tech in Atlanta. No more excuses. Lets have some accountability please.

How can Alumni get the movement started to change from the rotten arrogant top?

Let’s do this!

At 2 and 3, here’s what’s coming – loss to Clemson, win over BC, loss to BYU, win over MD, loss to UNC, loss to Duke, and loss in Athens. But GT will call it a moral victory if they stay within 3 TD’s against the Dawgs, and say that they run this state.

Remember the people who said 7-5 wasn`t good enough so Gailey had to go. Now GT will likely be worse than 7-5 and GT can`t afford another expensive buyout. Suddenly, Chan looks better than PJ to some of his former detractors but Tech can`t afford another buyout of a coach`s contract. You must stick with PJ. VT, Clemson, and Georgia come to Bobby Dodd Stadium next season so there will be people in the seats but there will not be many GT fans in those seats. Again, maybe Tech should apply for membership in the Sun Belt Conference and join those folks, along with Georgia State, in that conference!.

I work at Tech & a past fan of GT Football. But if the general public could see the attitude some of the players on campus after a loss,is so Gangsta. The high 5’s & laughter like , Boy we almost looked like we were playing football. Also to see CPJ doing his semi-fast walk on campus like he’s exercising is a joke. His attitude is like, well yeah we lost so I’m the coach & I do what I want. Start with the AD then CPJ, Groth then the rest of the worthless coaches. Get someone with a Take No Hostages Attitude. Even after Tech lost like 2 years in a row, CPJ made the comment, Oh now I know how important this game is to Tech. You Dumbass. CPJ made the comment also that if he wasn’t winning he would move on.. Umm Umm Umm Umm CPJ please call 2 Men & A Truck now. CPJ the Paul Hewitt of Ga Tech Football.

Not going to pile on the Tech fans today, I think they have endured enough this weekend. But I do have some comments I would like to make. First off CPJ’s offensive scheme isn’t attractive to top athletes, as much as I hate to say this most of the top kids attend a school that has the best chance of getting them to the NFL and CPS’s offense just doesn’t do that. I know Tech has had a couple of WR selected early, but the truth is CPJ’s offense waste their tallent in college. It works for a little while, then DC’s learn or remember why no one uses it anymore and it become ineffective. Its even disappearing from HS now. Tech has had some WR drafted very high, but their tallent was basically wasted in college and the combines pushed them to the top.

Thats one reason I think Tech is having a hard time attracting top athletes, this is completely subjective and could be wrong, but CPJ comes off as an arrogant individual and tends to turn people against him, I can respect him for not coddling these HS drama queens but without them you just can’t compete. Groh was a questionable hire at the time and there is even more questions now, I think he has just fallen behind times.

I HONESTLY CAN’T RECALL A TECH FOOTBALL GAME SINCE THE EARLY 90′S WHEN I SAW A TECH TEAM QUIT IN THE 4TH QUARTER. EVEN WHEN GA WAS BLASTING US AT THE END OF CHAN’S REIGN,THEY PLAYED HARD.
That being said, if this team has any character, they will at least play hard at Clemson…..still don’t get why Groh is still the DC.Hasn’t improved the quality or the morale of the defense since he’s been here.Perhaps we thought too much of this team after VT.
BTW, Va Tech has already lost twice OOC.Perhaps we are not that good right now…..period. We were so swept up with that tough loss to VT that we have probably just now realized that we aren’t that good. Neither are the Hokies this year.

@ Burgess……you are totally FOS. Johnson has NEVER thrown a player under the bus. You want an example of a coach throwing a player under the bus? Try George O’Leary publicly berating Joe Burns for a mistake he made in the 2000 Tech – Maryland game. Even though Tech won the game, O’Leary still called Burns out on a mistake he made and did it on television for the entire country to see. Johnson has NEVER done anything anywhere close to that.

Georgia Tech, one of the oldest and sometimes greatest names in college football should be able to hire and keep a superior coach. One has to wonder what the problem is with accomplishing that. They play in a second rate league to start with and look like they don’t even belong there. Why on earth does any self respecting GT fan tolerate the continuing mediocrity that has taken over the major sports programs. I challenge all of them to stand up and not take this crap anymore. Aren’t you embarrassed enough yet?

I’ll say it again…. the buck stops with CPJ. He has ALLOWED the Def. to get bad and stay bad. I dont care that he’s NOT a Def type coach. He’s the HEAD coach and thus responsible for all sides of the ball. Recruiting, Def., Off, special teams….CONDITIONING AND TRAINING!!!! Everything!!!! I dont see how he has a choice here. He’s GOT to make a change this week or the AD will be forced to remove him…… maybe before the end of season? Hell, at this time ANY change would show us they are at least trying!

It still stings two days later (pun unavoidable) but now we have to look towards the rest of the season and next year. Groh’s not going anywhere before the end of the season and may step down on his own then. Washington is a real trooper, I think, but has not improved on making reads and late in games (incl. OT) when the pressure seems to get to him. It is time to start giving Lee more reps, besides the 1 or 2 series which he gets now (which at least is better than none at all). CPJ must recruit and sign better players, including a QB who can pass as well as run the option….as challenging as it may be. CPJ will show his worth in the coming weeks: either he effects a turnaround or the team wallows in self-pity and incompetence.

Objectively speaking, most the season’s goals are impossible now and it time to look ahead. Beating UGA and qualifying for a bowl game then winning it are the only goals to really shoot for. agreeing with fullmetaljckt, Johnson must show us if he is a head coach or an OC with an unusual offense. The problem with turning over the Defense to an autonomous DC is that you must make sure you pick the right man….and it’s not looking like Johnson did. CPJ is not going anywhere and with a young team there is still hope for next season….IF he can turn around this season. Give LEE and other underclassmen more time.
