So does he start immediately and coach the bowl game?

Tenuta's logical move is to BR.

Well since Navy is my second favorite team I'm dissapointed, but if it helps us land their DC than at least its consolation!

You don't think PJ's gonna try to keep him or can he not stay now that he was spurned for the HC job?

Johnson is a great choice for a Georgia school. His time at Georgia Southern is a plus for Tech.

How awesome would it be if Miles announces Tenuta was hired today or tomorrow?

Then we'd know Miles Mania is here to stay

There's some guy on the Georgia Tech boards complaining about the hire because Johnson doesn't pass enough. It's hilarious.

I will be interested to see how that offense works in a bcs conference.

I'd be pretty surprised if it doesn't work.

I think the biggest reason he ran the TO at Navy is because he didn't have the tools to do anything else.

No doubt. that thing is the ultimate talent equalizer. i am ready to see a team with some decent to good talent run it. so far the only programs that run it are the service academies and some fcs and d2 programs.

do honestly think he is gonna continue to run the option at GT? main reason he ran it at Navy because their talent level isn't on par with other D1 programs. wouldn't think he would run a more traditional offense now that he has the talent to do it?

I think he'll keep in his bag of tricks, but will adapt to do what he can with GT's talent.


I'm not sure what kind of talent he had when he was winning D1-AA titles with Georgia Southern, but I'm damn sure he would have found a better way to use Calvin Johnson than Chan Gailey did.
