Funny that a bunch of players who came to play for Chan had to haul Johnson’s ass across the finish line

So would you rather he did not get across the finish line? Or would you rather we held on to Chan for another few years?

Gatech and VT tied for the coastal that yr dumb ass. Vt played in championship game because they won regular season game. Paul Johnson still gets a coastal championship as a coach.

Then Miami gets one for sharing with us in 2012, though Miami beat ol' CPJ that year.

He won 4 and it's still listed as 4. Guys like van don't want Tech to turn into TN and start over ever 3 or 4 yrs. That has worked out well for TN.

Finishing runner-up to the actual champion is what you strive for, right Van? Losing to them in the reg. season is the same as beating 'em, right Van?

Don't forget the tarholes. They were more than happy to claim their share and even make rings.

This is one of the sillier debates I've seen.
 
Payday for Paul. Unless I'm mistaken he can go ahead and plan on investing these earnings. In the meantime, he just has to show up and play "Georgia Tech Football Coach" which we al know he does so well. "It is what it is", 'I don't really want to answer to anybody' and for some strange reason we think it's wonderful.

He finished tied not runner up. He also finished ahead of a bunch of other teams. He also named ACC coach of the yr. He also was named national coach of the yr. What do you want Lou Saban?

You stated a fact when you said,"johnson doesn't want to answer to anyone", and he doesn't ! More Tech fans are getting on board with asking "just what does he really do?"
 
28-22 in the last 4 season. That is THE definition of mediocrity.

I also created this graph in ye old days of 2014. I created a postgres database of college football results and applied extremely simple ELO ranking. It cuts through some BS that Pepper Rodgers had more difficult schedules or whatever. öööö, around 1979-81 we went above freaking #140.

I may try to see if I also have the database backed up and add 2014-17 to it. But for context, here's the 2014-17 rankings by Sagarin's Predictor:

2014: 13
2015: 39
2016: 32
2017: 33

This post will probably go over like a fart in an elevator. "Stats aren't wins, nerd." But both the 2015 and 2017 seasons feel aberrational in general to me. The injuries, multiple kickers setting career longs on game-winning kicks, etc. in 2015. 2017, we were up by double-digits in 3 or 4 losses. The Duke game was the lowest I had felt about CPJ's coaching in the history of his tenure. If we did not at least part ways with Roof, I was done with CPJ. I got öööö for partly defending the offense against Duke and feeling the defense was a pure dumpster fire. Duke had a decent enough defense, holding Miami down for 3 quarters. The offense still didn't do well, but the defense was atrocious. Duke had 6.3 yards per play, vs 4.0 yards per play week before against Army and 4.9 yards per play against Wake Forest. So our Duke defensive performance certainly wasn't a talent thing.

Yes, I do have hope that this one will work for DC, more hope than Roof. Certainly Woody has the most recent and sustained success as a college DC.

The ones who want to fire CPJ are going keep using stuff like "how will we go 3-9 again without CPJ." So this post just digs me more in a hole with them. But yes, the 2014/16 success and glimpses in 2017, and the new DC, buys a contract extension in my opinion.
 
It's not a super long contract (5 years), but some might still ask why? The answers are more obvious than you might think ...

Only the legendary Bobby Dodd won more games in his first 10 seasons on The Flats (82) than Johnson's 75. Johnson's 75 victories rank fourth in Georgia Tech history overall, behind only Dodd (165 - 1945-66), William Alexander (134 - 1920-44) and John Heisman (102 - 1904-19) - all members of the College Football Hall of Fame. Johnson's .581 winning percentage is also the fourth-highest in school history (min. two seasons), behind only Heisman (.764), Dodd (.713) and George O'Leary (.634).

Other achievements from Johnson's tenure on The Flats include:

* Georgia Tech has finished 1st or 2nd in the ACC Coastal Division six times in his 10 seasons as head coach - the only other ACC teams to finish first or second in their division as many times in the last 10 seasons are Clemson (8), Florida State (7) and Virginia Tech (7);
* among Georgia Tech's closest academic peers at the Power 5 level - Duke, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Purdue, Stanford and Vanderbilt - only Stanford (9) has played in more bowl games over the last 10 seasons than the Yellow Jackets (8);
* at least nine wins four times in 10 seasons - prior to his arrival, Georgia Tech had just seven nine-win seasons in the previous 51 years;
* two Orange Bowl berths under Johnson (2009, 2014), the program's first appearances in a major bowl since the 1966 season;
* current NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 82 percent is an all-time high for the program. Prior to Johnson's arrival on The Flats, the football program's GSR had dipped as low as 48 percent.All impressive achievements, IMO. Here's the kicker:
Overall, Johnson is 182-93 (.662) in 21 seasons as a head coach, including ultra-successful stints at Georgia Southern (1997-2001, 62-10 record) and Navy (2002-07, 45-29 record). His 182 career victories rank fourth among all active NCAA Division I FBS head coaches, behind only Notre Dame's Brian Kelly, Alabama's Nick Saban and Kansas State's Bill Snyder.SOLD. Johnson may not ever get the Yellow Jackets into the playoffs... but what other coach would?
