Coachspeak with Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson

“I expect this class to do a lot of big things. I think we covered a lot of our needs. We signed four defensive linemen, picked up some guys in areas that we felt like we need to shore up in certain positions, and I think we’ve got a really good group. …

“Our assistant coaches busted their butts. They worked extremely hard to put this class together. We’re excited. I think they’re going to help us win a lot of football games. ... I think we’ve got a really, really good group of football players. Like I said, this group has a ton of potential.

“More than anything else what excites me about this group, I think they’re really good kids. They’re fun to be around. I think that they’re going to fit in good with the guys that we have on the team. They’re going to be fun to coach. I just think it’s a really good group.”
