Avid Message Board Reader

Yes, I read Bbuzzoff. I just have never been able to figure out how to register to post.

And yes, I very much understand what Paul Johnson has said regarding his desire to stay in Atlanta. I also stated that it will take one incredible offer to ever lure him away. CPJ is a calculated man and he doesn't make decisions in haste. GT is also not a stepping stone to bigger and better things, as that isn't what motivates CPJ. The timing and circumstances will have to be right, as they were when he left Navy (can you believe he almost took the SMU job?). I believe that once he gets a national title at Georgia Tech (next year), he will look for his next challenge or his next challenge will come and find him. Whether he takes it or not...your guess is as good as mine. Its a really ideal situation in Atlanta compared to situations in say Michigan and Notre Dame. How would you like to be in Rich Rodriguez shoes now where everything is magnified 10x what it is at Georgia Tech?

Personally, I wouldn't leave Georgia Tech because the program will soon rise to the point where it challenges for a BCS bowl every year. But the allure/prestige/challenge of rebuilding one of the most tradition rich programs in college football history is a challenge I think he'll take at some point. But for now, enjoy the ride. GT is only scratching the surface of what they will become.

Technically, he's already "rebuilding one of the most tradition-rich programs in college football history."
