That was the headline of the AJC, that I thought was pretty clever. So, Paul Johnson is to be our new head coach. There’s an interesting article online, from the AJC, about the timeline between Gailey’s dismissal and Johnson’s announced hire.
So far, I think it’ll be a good thing. He’s got a pretty impressive record, and he comes from a college where academics are as (if not more) important (and difficult) as they are at Tech. Time will tell. We’re about to enter some “rebuilding years”, but I hope it doesn’t take too long to “right the ship” (to use another nautical aphorism). I think Gailey never really understood how to coach a college team. I think his skill is with the pros, and it just doesn’t translate well (look at Spurrier for the opposite effect). Anyways, that’s all I have for now.
