Annual "How much longer can Paul Johnson last at GT?" Thread
Posted on 8/9/15 at 4:33 pm
Posted on 8/9/15 at 4:33 pm
I remember last year around this time, someone posted a thread asking of Paul Johnson was going to make it through the season without getting fired because he was over his head. I would probably be willing to bet there was anothersimilar thread that saying the same thing about Johnson the year before. Maybe even before that. An ACC Coastal Championship, an ACC Championship Game, and an Orange Bowl rout later, that thread was some good reading.
With that said, how does GT fair in 2015? A Davy OBrien award nominated QB.
I'm going to get it out of the way....Johnsons teams are never a threat with that offense. That offense will never work in today's game. Johnson probably won't last much longer at GT.
Here's GTs 2015 schedule. Thoughts?
Sep 3 ALCN
Sep 12 TULN
Sep 19 @ND
Sep 26 @DUKE
Oct 3 UNC
Oct 10 @CLEM
Oct 17 PITT
Oct 24 FSU
Oct 31 @UVA
Nov 12 VT
Nov 21 @MIA
Nov 28 UGA

I think they'll win the division again but lose a rematch in the ACCCG.

Probable Losses:
Notre Dame
Clemson
Florida State
Virginia Tech
Georgia
7-5, typical Paul Johnson results

They lost 37-35 to Florida State in the ACC Championship. Exactly how much more of a threat would they like them to be?
ETA: Not you.

8-4. 2 conference losses.

Your typos gave me cancer. The fact that your post is edited is alarming.

GT doesn't expect much more than they're getting. Beating UGA every 4-5 years or so, couple division titles, win 10 games here and there.
Posted on 8/9/15 at 5:08 pm to Prominentwon
9-3
Losses to Clemson, Florida State, and Georgia

Are they a good enough team for Clemson to rout or are they a bad enough team for Clemson to Clemson against?
Posted on 8/9/15 at 5:16 pm to Prominentwon
There are expectations this season, so I think they are going to struggle compared to last season. But that QB is good and their defense should be better. 8-4
Posted on 8/9/15 at 5:18 pm to Prominentwon
They have arguably the best QB at running the system they have ever had. It's about the defense imo. They have been very average the past few years.

Losses: @ND,@CLEM, FSU, UGA

I have them making the CFBP.

Depends on our defense more than anything. We showed signs of a functioning D towards the latter part of the season but it was a train wreck early on.
Schedule is the hardest one we have had in probably 5 years. I think there is a good chance we have a better team than last years but end up at 8-9 wins.

Lol cute thread.
Paul Johnson sucks.

Seriously, anywhere between 8-4 and 12-0.

Johnson is a great coach. Don't underestimate what he did at Navy with the restrictions the military has on weight.
Now that he has his system rolling in ATL and the players believing in it, I think GT is about to go on a run. He'll have a top 3 caliber ACC team most years. He has some good young athletes now,and he's proved at Navy that he doesn't even need the same level as athletes to beat you with his system.

They have the perfect QB for that system. The defense is the question imo. But with that schedule I think GT has a chance to make a run.
Posted on 8/10/15 at 5:47 pm to Prominentwon
He's lasted longer than I predicted. I really thought last year was the do or die year. If he can find niche players that fit his system he can turn some heads, but in no way form or fashion do I see them making it to the playoffs.

GaTech is my dark horse playoff champion.
