The only thing the AJ-C could have done to make this Paul Johnson interview about Geoff Collins better would have been to let Mark Bradley conduct it. (I guarantee you if he had, there would have been some to-do over the number of wins the genius notched over Georgia, compared to Coach 404.)
Still, it do have its moments.
“We didn’t spend a lot of time on uniforms,” Johnson said. “And swag. We worked on trying to play hard-nosed, tough football and be blue collar.”

Pay wall. But I bet Paul the Johnson was being a johnson.

More than just a name for him, clearly. Nice to see he hasn’t lost his fastball re: being a total prick.
He’s right down there with Spurdog and the Pirate for most hateable & ridiculous coaches, IMO.

Nah, Corch is a true human piece of shit. The ol’ Ball Sack and (the) Johnson are just grade A assholes.

“No, no, back when I arranged deck chairs on the Titanic, we didn’t focus on recruiting, we just practiced chop-blocking”
It’s like listening to the French generals after WWII on how “well” they defended Paris and managed the Germans. Falls a little flat for the well informed audience.

Geoof Collins- 3 & 1/3 years with GaYech & never had to face us in Athens. Quite some weird way to avoid multiple potential ass kickings there by Mr Patty Melt.

Had he played in Athens we would have left them scattered and smothered.

Coach Fish Fry can spin it anyway he wants to; but he did pigeon hole that program into run only and pure boredom. And they were dirty… As for Collins – timing is everything. The whole ‘404’ might have worked at another time. He just happen to come along when Kirby was in the middle of building his very own Death Star. He stood no chance.

Indeed, Senator. Obsequious fawning is really its own species of literature and Bradley is a devoted practitioner. As the deceased writer/narrator Joe Gillis (William Holden) remarks in Sunset Boulevard, “Sometimes it’s interesting to see just how bad bad writing can be.”

So glad he is gone he gives blue collar a bad name. They were not tough under him just dirty with their blocking.

Johnson is such a prick. He says 2 or 3 times how he’s not gonna pile on, how Collins has caught enough grief, but the very next quote is him trashing Collins tenure even more. Just keep your mouth shut. The whole interview is tacky as hell, regardless of how I feel about Tech (they suck).

No way to defend Collins. Key took the exact same team and made them into a semi respectable bunch. Still on the lower end of the foot chain, but no longer on the very bottom.
