I'm not sure why we would want to add degree programs just to be more successful in athletics. Georgia Tech was recently ranked the 24th best university in the world by The Times newspaper in London. That is much more important. There is no reason why we can't be successful with the existing standards. Stanford has been successful recently. Why can't Georgia Tech? We have won a national championship in the last 25 years.

Well said.

Paul Johnson doesn't show any evidence of developing game plans for specific teams. He doesn't keep a play list. He does it all in his head. In other words, he just shoots from the hip. That doesn't work in the business world or in the world of sports. Why would you choose to go on 4th and 1 from your own 39 on your first possession?

I was a student for five of the six Chan Gailey seasons. I am thankful every day that we have Paul Johnson instead of him. I think PJ could do better on his game strategies, but the 4th down calls help us more often than they hurt us.
