As soon as we get Trev, and he hires Scott... the offense here will look just the same as it did in the 90s. Literally the minute they walk in the door. Then the "strength" program will be dominant again, and we will cover-up major crimes by our players because they had a rough up-bringing. It realls is all so simple.
Kesha is a hot mess...
Brittney is a hot mess...
Paul Johnson is just a mess.

If only. We have a segment of our fanbase that looks up to someone who wrote basically that word for word to the University president (he claims). It is very cute, considering the same guy claims to have turned down the job of University president.
You literally can't make this stuff up
Was listening to this on the radio. Think GT has had some key injuries at RB. I don't know what the ceiling is for that program, but Johnson has them at least relevant.
I think that system lets you get away with being less talented than a lot of other teams and still keeps you in games, but it's not magic by any means. Made all the sense in the world for Navy, but it needs a little more versatility on a bigger stage. They tend to have these QBs who couldn't hit water if they threw it at the ocean. That's fine if your line and backs are just so damned dominant that nobody can stop your run. That hasn't been the case for GT.

Not sure exactly what you meant by this, but relevant at 3-7? He's been at Ga Tech since 2007.
Not sure if serious... If so, all of Riley's losses have been close too and you have been much less forgiving of him (especially with Banker).
Agree. Need to return to the state sanctioned steroid program of Epley and look for as many bad boys as possible.
I think it's safe to say none of us would care what type of offense we ran if we were winning with it. I love the way his offense looks personally, but it hasn't been that successful when you look at the whole picture, and that's in a fertile recruiting area no less.
Paul Johnson and Mark Richt, the Husker fan bases two unicorns...

Somebody want to post up the record of Paul Johnson at GT, compared to Mike Riley at Oregon State. This is absolutely hysterical to read. People get piss-pants mad about our coach that came from one of the bottom 2 schools support-wise in the PAC. But then they turn around and want to suck-off a guy with a 59÷ win percentage in the mighty ACC with some of the biggest dollars behind it. Plus GT is right in the middle of all that Southern talent.
This is absolutely awesome.
This is absolutely awesome.
I find it ironic that some people on this board seem to have two sides when looking at stuff
A. Johnson has a 62% winning record - 2 division titles and one ACC title( vacated)
B. Riley has a 54% winning record - no division or confer titles
Both are having terrible seasons but Johnson is coming off an 11 win season where Riley is coming from a 5 win season - Johnson is a mess but Riley's record is not as bad as it looks as they were close losses according to these posters
I just find it ironic and hypocritical in some ways

Your math seems to be wrong. What is Johnsons record at GT in the mighty ACC, at a school located in Atlanta?
I'm not even sure if I'd want Scott as an OC at this point. Who's Alabama OC. I like what they run.
I kid, I kid
Paul Johnson at Gtech - 98 games 58 wins 35 losses - 62.3% winning record - this is with three wins vacated
Done right, the option is poetry in motion. And I don't even like poetry.
agree the option run with superior athletes is something to see - not sure we will ever see a major team run again but was fun to watch
Who is the one being hypocritical here? Also consider this-Georgia Tech was primed for big success this year. They were the consensus pick to win their division.They were preseason ranked #16. So I ask you-which is the more disappointing team relative to expectations? And who freakin' cares if he won 11 games last year? That makes their collapse this season all the more bad. They just ended a 18-year bowl streak too. All of those are facts-facts that you seem all fired up and ready to point out when it makes us look bad, but facts that you just ignore and make excuses for when it concerns another team. So tell me again who the hypocrites are here?
The hypocrites are the ones attacking a coach for another program with the sole reason being some fans here mentioned him as he would be a decent coach. The fans attacking his record this year are only trying to deflect form our current record
Both coaches have a ton of close losses this year. Georgia Tech losing does not make me feel better about us losing

It is so awesome. Bloners hate Nebraska so much that they actually believe their own crap. It's a mental disorder. Ignoring facts and STILL denying. Awesome
Deflect. Right. We haven't talked about husker football at all.
I don't get this guy. Any self respecting Bloner would be down in their fallout shelter right now awaiting what will most likely be happening to their cult leader this weekend. Yet here he is, worrying about Nebraska. Weird.
Now it's a freeboard thread. We're off the football and into the name calling! Over/under at 2.5 pages.

False. As soon as you can figure out his actual record, you can start with your hypocrisy again

You make a good point regarding the good will he has from previous years.
Honestly, I didn't know if you were being serious or taking a shot at those in support of Riley despite his record.
Good coach having a real rough year. Most of this thread is nonsense. He has experienced more success as a college coach than Riley. Thats not to suggest that I want him here. He will get another season to turn it around, and his past suggests that he will.

I am still waiting for the resident expert to lie about a coaches win percentage again.

Nonsense? His past? Explain why he will get it turned around there. As has been explained here sooooo many times, his win percentage at Georgia Tech shows he won't. It is impossible to overcome the past. And newsflash, Atlanta may have a bit more to offer than Corvallis
