The hilarious part is that Tech can’t afford to buy him out. In a perfect world, he leaves, goes back to Statesboro, then beats Tech in Atlanta next year.
LikeLike
They can’t afford the buyout if they fire him. But they can certainly negotiate a reduced pay out if he wants out badly enough.
Like I said, this is gonna be a trip to watch. Especially when they start planting stuff in the media about each other.

Maybe they could offer half the buyout and give him shared custody of the Iron Man suit.

“Especially when they start planting stuff in the media about each other.”
Uhhh…I think we are already there. You’ve got two possibilities…
1) Tech planted it and it caught CPJ on his heels that it got out
2) CPJ’s peeps planted it so that (a) it would get out and (b) they could react first and be ‘surprised’…which would put Tech in a really awkward position.
LikeLike
Do you know what his buyout is if they fire him, or the other way if he leaves to go elsewhere or just voluntarily goes? If he wants out badly enough it could just be a wash. My sense also is that the Techies have had about enough of his act. Personally, I wish they would make him “Coach for Life.”

We need to start a “Keep Coach Paul Johnson” movement. This man has been wonderful for our program.

Its a comment on our season that we take such glee from the turbulence at a mediocre program down the road.
The loss of TheJohnson to kick around would be minor addition to a very frustrating football season to me.
Maybe the indoor practice facility is a bad thing. Maybe we need to spend more time in the rain.

Football programs and universities like people can find comfort in being mediocre. They would rather suffer where they are at rather than face the possibility of a change. Tech and Johnson have been the same for awhile. They had a very good coach in O’Leary. They were not willing to keep. You can build a tricycle or you can build a train of performance.

What CMR & staff have reviewed from 2013 and past plus planned for in 2014 with current roster & coaches plus the current recruitment pool appears to be the same. Some tweeking here and there. But is that going to be good enough for a SECCG title and a NC. Do they have the assets and management team in place. I ay no.

The question at Georgia is do we want to be GT? Not far geographically from Atlanta to Athens. But in sports prgrams they are cloase. I’m close to pulling my support for the locah HS program. Why? Several reason, but I am tired of supporting a program where the kids go to Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss or an ACC school.

CMR was mentored in a consistent, top 5 program at FSU. They were damn good. Mickey Andrews, Bama grad, was a very good DC. Their special teams were very good. Bowden managed a roster every damn year, not every 2 or 3. You can hem and ha about CMR, but want did VD see in him that has changed.

GT fires a coach and football program that CMR beats annually. UF has fallen into that in 3 years. Auburn not so much. But let those 3 make enough changes [Auburn did, and UF is in progress], then there will be an implosion in the UGA fan base and supporters. Due to weather and other factors saw more bowl games. UGA has a way to go re those BCS teams.
