Firing assistant after 11-3 season says a lot about Paul Johnson

yea, looks like paul took all of the good players and put them on offense. his D was substandard. good move. when the acc gets more accustomed to the option, he's gonna need a stiffer D to win games. he's a good coach, but his o is a one trick poney and will catch up to him. of course, he'll be financially set when it does. now, if you're posting this to get at miles for not firing crowton.........toche.

I admire Johnson for this. Record does not mean everything. His offense clearly won those 11 games. He looked at performance and not results and saw there could be an improvement in performance and made the change.

As mentioned before, I just wish someone around here would have that mindset.

...and it says what, exactly? ....a sphincter says what? ...

It's called CYOA. You can fire just so many until it catches up with you.

One of the big reason's it isn't working as effectively as it can at GT is that CPJ doesn't have his players in there yet. Hell at O-line we were starting a former walk-on and a converted TE this season. Gailey left the cupboard bare at O line.

---

I do not know if it was bare or more that Gailey did not recruit the type of players that Jonson needs to run his offense. As Jonson get more of his types in, they will get better and more dangerous. Their defense was not the good this year and replacing their DC was the correct move.

His offense isn't a one trick poney. It's as simple as assingment football. If you don't play it, his offense will kill you; if you do, you beat them.

Well it is true that they don't fit the scheme exactly but in 2006 Gailey had 0, O-line recruits and in 2007 he had 2.



Any spread tries to spread the field to get 1-on-1 matchups, the reason GT lost to LSU was that LSU won those 1-on-1 matchups. LSU's D-line absolutely owned GTs O-line. Same thing happened this year with Iowa.

If you actually look at the stats of the Orange bowl other than the sore you'll see GT didn't do too horribly on D and Dwyer still averaged near 5 ypc. GT also had special teams gaffes: kicked opening kick out of bounds, failed a fake punt, allowed an LSU fake punt, allowed an LSU onside kick.

That's effectively 3 turnovers and then giving short fields, any team will lose. Plus it was the first year in the new system. GT actually did pretty well last year.

GT= late 80s Arkansas under Hatfield.

Option offense without balance- Check

Win in a weak conference- check

said offense shut down in bowl game- check

fanbase believes this unbalanced offense will win a NC-check

Dont stop believing,GT

Navy has won the last two out of three vs ND with this offense.


So has just about everyone else.

Navy is putting up consistent 8 win seasons and bowl victories since CPJ installed his system. That's great with his recruiting limitations.

If you want to compare it, compare it to the other service academies which face the same limitations. Navy has lost 1 game to another service academy since he got there.
