Paul Johnson now looks like a serious front-runner for the vacant job at Georgia Tech. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports he will interview with GT today. The list of candidates was apparently been narrowed to three: Johnson, Georgia Southern coach Chris Hatcher and former CU coach Skippy Neuweasel. But Tony Barnhart reports its down to Johnson and GT defensive coordinator John Tenuta. If Georgia Tech does the smart thing they'll hire the man Nebraska didn't even give a chance to (and you know why-see the "Boosters for Bo" club). And if the Jackets do hire Johnson they'll contend for a NC within 3 years. The amount of talent currently on the GT roster is a night and day difference between what Johnson has to work with at Navy. And he can recruit from the entire Southeast part of the country. And finally he won't leave Georgia Tech until he retires. A+ hire for Georgia Tech if it happens.
Meanwhile, maybe Nebraska should change their name from the Nebraska Cornhuskers to the Nebraska "Hawks." If you know what I mean. After all, if Howard Hawks is going to run the football program, its only fair to honor him in name. This Buds' for you Howard.
