We do not run the triple option offense. We run a spread offense with the QB under center…and the triple option is a play that is run about 15 out of the 65 offensive plays each game.

Good luck to Tai-ler though…he would have WIDE OPEN in this offense as PJ begins to add in the run and shoot stuff under the same base formation.

“Hiveredtech” do you even know what a spread offense is? Obviously not! What CPJ runs and what he has run since Ga Southern, is a Triple Option offense. He might wish to morph the offense into a Spread but until then, all you have is 90% run 10% throw offense. That’s all he knows and has no history of producing any type of effective passing offense. If he can sucker in some legit receivers then maybe (as I said before) he can morph this running concoction into something more balanced.

CPJ is putting all of the right pieces together in masterful fashion, just sit back, relax and enjoy the show. He is the standard by which other coaches are measured — yep you heard me — that includes Saban, Carroll, Meyer, et al. they are but pilot fish trying to stay close to CPJ — hoping to mimic what he is doing on the flats. We are embarking on the one of the most historic runs in college football history — a ride only to be rivaled by that which Bryant was able to accomplish in the 60s and 70s.

Let’s try this folks, TECH runs an option offense. Sometimes it may be a double option, sometimes it may be a triple option, heck sometimes it’s a simple fullback dive with the QB and halfback carrying out fakes to give the option look. We also run traps, counters, quick pitches, play action and drop back passes. The primary difference between the option offenses of today as opposed to 30 years ago is the offense has forced the defense to play the whole field instead of playing in a phone booth. For the bozo that said we run a triple option offense b/c we run the ball 90% of the time, I guess Vince Dooley was running a triple option offense also. Personally I don’t think Jones is stupid nor am I concerned that he’s not considering TECH. Some WR’s are going to want to catch 70 passes a year and average 15 ypc and some will be content with 35-40 and average 20+ ypc. TECH will get outstanding WR’s that see the benefits of our offense and we will lose some b/c of our offense. It works about the same for everybody.

To quote his biography at the Naval Academy…

“Johnson’s potent triple option offense led the nation in rushing, averaging a then school-record 323.2 yards per contest. The Mids also set school records for rushing yards (4,202), yards per rush (5.5), rushing touchdowns (44), total offense (5,506), total offense per game (431.4) and yards per play (6.0).”

When Johnson came to Tech, he stated very clearly (but not clearly enough for his own fanbase to understand apparently) he was going to install the same base offense he ran at Navy. So yes either you run the triple option offense or your coach is a liar. I don’t care if you run plays from the wing T, wishbone or fun n’ gun. Your base offense was, is and will be, as long as Paul Johnson is your coach, the triple option.

Tech Fans…. how can you be so smart but yet so stupid. We all know you have the ugliest women in the NCAA. If you were a true fan you would do some research on your coach. PJ coached in your state before the Naval Ac. He was at GSU and won several NCAA II Championships. He is a great coach and will be very successful in the ACC. Just to educate you: The triple option is a play, not an offense. You have Flexbone, Wing T, Wishbone, The I, and Spread Option. You run more of a Flex or and Wing T, which he has run his whole career. The fact that receivers are even looking at your school makes me laugh. I have watched CPJ as far back as GSU and they rarely ever pass. His offense will be successful, but not because of the passing attack. He is a master at his option and will do great in the ACC. As far as the SEC, he will be overloaded for the run and not be as successful. He fooled UGA once and will always play them tight. If you go back a decade or so, GSU gave us fits when he was there as well. UGA is in another league when it comes to party’s, women, football, and tailgating. Just deal with it!

He wants to be in a pro-style offense which is fine that is his choice its going to take another year of Johnson installing the offense in order to show recruits and stupid haters talking about how people will “FIGURE OUT THE OFFENSE THIS YEAR” So UGA fans please keep posting about your great offenses and how Johnson doesn’t pass the ball (except those games at southern where they would pass for 400 yards….) but hey that must have been a dream, because obviously when you GEORGIA fans comment on Tech supposed to be smart..at least we got into our school :)

TXDawg: Before you go throwing stones, read up a little on CPJ. Before he went to Navy he was the OC at Hawaii. He broke a ton of school passing records (pre-June Jones era) and led them to their first conf championship, bowl game win, etc. He said repeatedly that he ran at Navy because that’s how he could win there. We’ll still run a whole lot, but you’ll see a lot more passing at GT than you think. No, he didn’t throw the ball against your dawgs. But then, why would he?

Tech will never get any quarterbacks that can throw worth a lick or any talented recievers. This is not news. They will live and die by the “triple option”, “option spread”, “spread option”, “triple spread double option with a twist of lemon”, or whatever the crap the Techies prefer to call it. It doesn’t matter what you call it. The passing game will always be an afterthought. There is room for disagreement on whether or not Tech can be successful under this model, but there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Johnson will start to throw the ball more at Tech as Tech fans so often claim. They have simply pulled this out of their rear ends. Go look up his numbers at GSU and Navy. They ran the ball 80% of the time. That’s what he does. He has told you repeatedly that is what he does. I don’t know what to tell you if you can’t even believe you’re own coach Tech fans. I guess you’re just hopeless.

Spare me the moronic regurgitation of GT’s incoming freshman SAT scores because only a fraction of that average includes your athletes. If grades and academics are sooooo important, then why do so many of your athletes declare “Management” as their major at an Engineering school?

It is not surprising that a WR would say Tech’s offense is not for him. Until the Run-n-shoot part of the offense is installed, we’ll probably hear that a bit. The good news is we won’t care. Bebe Thomas, Steven Hill, Tyler Melton and others will more than hold down the fort for the year or two it takes to get it installed and running well. Remember, we’ve only been running this for a year. It’s a complicated offense, particularly for the QB. It’s going to take 2-3 years for an OL or a QB to get the whole thing down. It’s really amazing how effective it has been just partially installed. Very good things are coming for GT.

He acknowledges Tech is a great program, but TIMING is everything. These kids are more savvy about playing time and offensive schemes than previous players, because the information age displays all info. at their finger tips. This kid sports a 3.5 GPA and 25 ACT, I don’t think grades were an issue as some previously stated. Maybe this kid saw CPJ’s offense on YouTube and decided based on what he has Traditionally ran and the number of current WR’s, that maybe he would have a chance to get on the field sooner somewhere else. This kid didn’t trash GA Tech, so why is GA Tech bashing the kid. GA Tech has offered 50+ scholarships, so why shouldn’t these kids view every option like the schools do. No one player makes a team, and no one team can make a player. There has to be a good fit for both parties. This kid has to get down to one offer. GA Tech has 10+ WR’s they can choose from. If the players are interchangable, why shouldn’t the schools be interchangable as well. There’s no one right answer. Picking a college is like playing Russian Roulette. Sometimes it turns out to be the smartest move and sometimes a player is just happy to graduate and receive his degree at the end.

People please, most of you sound ignorant or retarded at best. Do any of you live in Gainesville? Any of you see this kid play on a consistant basis? I would guess the answer to be no on both questions. I live in Gainesville and my children attended school at one of Gainesville’s biggest rivals. Jones is a decent receiver however he built his stats and reputation playing against inferior opposition as is the case with most high school stars. He can only be as good as his quarterback and face it both he and his high school qb disappeared in big games at the high school level. Case in point Calvin Jones was a great receiver but as we all know he was kept in check not by defenses he faced but by Reggie Ball. College corners will shut this kid down more often than not and he will be an average at best wide out..I’m sure he is smart enough to attend any college he chooses however I personally believe it would be best for his career to attend a school other than Tech, he will need to play at a school where they throw 25-35 times a game so that he can build his average stats. I wish him the best of luck in the future as should everyone..Jones didn’t choose to attend Tech because he hates the school it was simply because of the type of offense they run..if you were a running back you would not go to a school where they throw 90% of their plays and only run the ball 10% so why would a receiver choose to play at a school where they run 90% of the time? Makes sense to me! If CPJ installs more of a passing attack then it will be easier to recruit top notch receivers but until then it will be a hard sell based on the promise of change

Hey Flipside Of The Coin - are you trying to reason with ComputerNut? Stop wasting your time.

If the #1 player in the country had a 4.0 GPA and a 1600 SAT, and said NO to Tech, the Tech fans would critisize his playing ability and academic standards anyway.

They can’t fathom that Tech isn’t a real football school anymore and none of the top players want to go there - no matter who they get to break a contract and come coach.

Jake, just one more thing. Think about this. Every team in the country knew we were going to line up and run the ball. We did this using a fullback as an offensive lineman. Tech was still either third or forth in the nation in rushing. Now just think when they all of a sudden think we are a throw first team. That 404 yards may well be 808 yards. Rather than lust over lsu, really think about what you just read. It’s for real.

If this kid doesn’t want to play in what is arguably the loudest and most intimidating jam-packed venue in the south (Historic Grant Field on a Thursday night), contend for National Championships and play in the NFLs next in-vogue offensive scheme then so be it. I have sources close to the program that have stated that CPJ is a hot commodity among NFL GMs and is already coveted by franchises who have coaches on the hot seat. Also, I don’t mean to bag on this kid, but the same program sources indicate that we were not seriously recruiting this youngster — but we wish him well nonetheless. I suspect that when the pre-season top 10 rankings come out and he sees us in the top 5, if not top 3, he may be asking to be considered as a preferred walk-on.

Nautijacket — Right on my man, I expect us to average 450-500 yds per game in rushing and 200 yds passing….really, anything less than playing in the BCS title game will be a major disappointment….CPJ has this program dialed in and I don’t see anyone on the horizon who dare get in the way of this train. P.S. Dwyer has to be considered a favorite for the Heisman in ‘09

A top-class receiver isn’t going to pick GT. We are focused much more on the running game, so you can’t blame the guy. Wherever he goes he will prob only be there for the minimum number of years anyway. From the way he sounds it seems like he has a pretty big ego. He won’t pick UGA either because Stafford left so UGA doesn’t have a top-class QB anymore. He’ll end up out of state.

Really? Crap. Its a darn shame we didn’t get him. We can always use some good punt returners. He would be a nice addition to the scout team too as a running quarterback. Oh well. Life goes on I suppose.

Perhaps Tai Ler Jones decided CPJ would pull his scholarship offer if the decided to visit other schools and did not want to put up with that crap.

Get used to it Techies. Paul Johnson’s heavy handed tactics are going to rear up and snag Tech in the arse, and it will be fun to watch.

The guy is self destructive and is going to take your program with you. The guys at Navy had to put up with it in order to graduate and receive their commission. That is not the case here.

Since Paul Johnson is such a genius, how come Uga outgained his offense by 60 yards? If that is the statistic you use to compare yourself to LSU…..I guess that goes the same for the GA game. You guys win 1 out of 8 and scream dynasty. I thought an engineering program would be better at math. Paul must have caused the turnover that became the difference in the game. Congratulations on the victory, maybe you will finish higher in the polls sometime this century….but I wouldn’t count on it.

If paul johnson does turn out to the ‘greatest mind’ in college football he will leave your empty-a* stadium as soon as a real program offers him some do-re-mi. I wouldn’t buy those NC tickets on stub hub just yet; how about beating UNC this year or UGA for more than one in a row.

Johnson seems to be scaring more kids away than convincing them to come on board. Jones apparently learned from Hill’s mistake.

Buzz22 (1) Since Jones is playing vs. inferior talent, you are saying indirectly his talent is superior, right??? (2) If the talent is inferior & your kids go to that school in Gainesville, your kids aren’t good. Why are you putting your oown kids down. (3) Our opinions don’t matter. (4) Every kid in America, that stands out, is playing vs. inferior talent. That’s why colleges offer the scholarships, because they stand out. If a high school kid, looks like all the rest of the kids, who would want them. (5) Marlon Brown played vs. very questionable talent in TN, but I bet you he dominates at the college/pro level.
