Paul Johnson as GT coach

CPJ is the 2nd best coach in GT history. If you read that and find yourself trying to figure out where CPJ ranks against Heisman, Dodd, & Ross, then you’ve already decided he’s worth keeping.

The Falcons fired their "best coach in history" and two years later were in the Super Bowl.

I get your point, but if you look at a trend line and not the average performance we are sliding down as is our talent level. The thing that irritates me about the current regime is that there is not recognition of this, or the concept of continuous improvement. If you are not changing you are going to get left behind. Other coaches in the ACC had to try different approaches to contain this offense and for the most part they have done better at it.

CPJ needs to be continously improving his offense but he's lazy. He'd rather play golf than come up with the innovations necessary to keep other teams guessing and uncomfortable. He's doesn't even try to scheme defensively, he just outsources that half of the game as well as special teams. He's not a very energetic recruiter because he thinks he will outsmart the opposition with his offensive system. I hope that that TStan will put more pressure on him to do the above and earn his salary or that he will just leave. Its up to him.

Constantly improving his "O"? Pray tell, how does he do that at GT?

I would put Heisman first, Dodd second and Ross third. CPJ is a great coach but I'm not sure which two of those three you bump down to put him second.

It is very difficult comparing any of them with basically 100 years of football and culture going down. Three won national titles with one of them only staying a couple of years. It is much more difficult to win a nc now at GT than when any of the others were there.

Meh, I think it's easier today. Back then, you had to run the table and win votes from AP to even get a chance at being 1 of 2 teams with a shot at a title. It was more subjective than today.

Today, you need only be 1 of 4 teams picked for the CFP. And you don't have to run the table - just win your division and win your conf. championship.

Really, easier you say? Its always been I pick you as the greatest because I think so!

And that why there should be an 8 team playoff. The 5 winners of the P5 conferences and the best 3 next in line.
In the first round the top teams play at home to save there fans traveling expenses & then the rest go to a bowl!

Any offense is awful when they are not producing and winning at least 8 games a season. Weather it be a all out passing, balanced or run based team.

In most ways, you are correct. Winning makes any system look beautiful. However, this system *in particular* is tough to watch when it doesnt work. Feels like the same handful of plays run over and over again. Other offenses feel like they at least have 30+ plays they might try in a game. I know this isn't true but when you watch a game as a fan it looks that way.

He got old and disinterested. He basically became a figurehead and left all coaching to his assistants. He did not play golf, but played hours of tennis every day. Unfortunately, I was around at the time, so very old now.
