I don’t know if this is mere tongue-and-cheek stuff from Jeff Schultz ($$) — it’s almost too perfect in its arrogance, to be honest — but I sure hope it’s real.
Johnson was so amused by his third win in five appearances in Athens that, amid the postgame celebration in the locker room, with Gov. Nathan Deal present for the Governor’s Trophy celebration, he stood and kept looking up at the walls of the room. When somebody finally asked him why, he responded that he was wondering where Georgia would hang a sign that read “The Paul Johnson Visiting Locker Room.”
How a guy coaching a program that’s been literally owned by Georgia football at BDS since Mark Richt’s first season has the balls to think like that… well, like I said, I hope that’s an actual quote. Even if it’s not, that I could seeing it being so says about as much, anyway.

I’m still scratching my head over the narrative this week about Tech’s recent success in Sanford. Next year we need a headcount on Tech players that weren’t born when Tech last been Georgia at BDS.

If it was the last legitimate win, then none of them because that was in 1989.

Exactly. Tech happened to win 2 games against two mediocre Georgia teams and suddenly it’s a streak and (the) Johnson is equal to Dodd?
TBF, I think Shultz also said this might be the worst Georgia team (the) Johnson will face for the foreseeable future.

If they keep letting him stick around for 7-win seasons, and we keep smashing them in this newfangled CKS era, I like the chances of his attitude changing.
He’s horrible. And he stokes the hate, at least as far as I’m concerned, more than just any any GT coach in the last 30 years because of his arrogance. I’ll never tire of watching the failure of his precious high school offense.

He needs to clean up his on-field language.
Also, he needs to quit blaming his players. I saw where he blamed them a couple of times. Any decent coach will blame himself in front of the cameras or microphones…and deal with his players in private.
It’s his team. He recruited it, built it and pilots it.
Also, a lot of GT (see stingtalk) nerds are upset that Marshall was yucking it up with the Georgia players after the loss. Personally, I was kind of inspired by a young man that can shake it off after the last whistle and get on with enjoying the experience,
I’m telling you what…CPJ is like the setting sun at GT…I think he’s done.

Loved it when they had the ball for close to 9 minutes in the 3rd quarter, mustered 40 yards, and had nothing to show for it. Yeah, it’s all on the defense (the)Johnson

There’s something that annoys me to an unending degree when he is all but whispering the playcall into the QBs ear and gives that sort of shove onto the field as the player is running out. I have no idea why it bothers me so much but every time I see it I cringe. I think it’s because it looks like he is coaching pee wee football players, guiding them on the direction they’re supposed to run onto the field. Of course, these are college players so I guess it reflects his arrogance and makes me kinda feel bad for the Tech QB because it’s kinda demeaning and I don’t like feeling sorry for Tech QBs under any circumstances.

PJ has won 3 games in Athens by a total of 10 points, and all 3 took something weird/random/stupid.
Maybe you could argue that 2008 was clean, but I’d argue that Samuel’s fumble was just a worst case scenario.
Even for someone as thin skinned and petty as Johnson, that quote is hard to believe. It makes me wish we had beat them yesterday by 50, which we could have.

Friend made a good point about Johnson yesterday. He said; with as long as it will take tech to recruit and create a team after Johnson leaves, he sort of has them held hostage. It would take a new coach a minimum of three years to recruit enough players to play in a spread/pro style offense to be competitive. What coach would take the job at a school where they would inherit a team made up of triple option linemen, receivers and quarterbacks?
I think Johnson can stay as long as he wants to. The tech AD knows replacing him will be a nightmare.
