GEORGIA TECH STUDENTS CANNOT HIDE FROM PAUL JOHNSON
by Spencer Hall on Oct 4, 2011 3:46 PM EDT
Email
PrintA dorm room on the Georgia Tech Campus. A knock at the door. Scott, a student, answers the door.
Paul Johnson: Son, you're gonna need to show up for the game Saturday.
Scott: Who are you?
PJ: Your football coach. That's my name. You're...[checks name list...] Arash Patel?
Scott: He's next door, and is Indian.
PJ: Well, you know what happens when you assume.You make an "ass" out of you, and leave me out of this because your being an ass ain't my problem. Sit down. Gonna tell you a story about my Daddy.
Scott: [sits]
PJ: He nailed my hand to a stump in the woods and left me there with a knife, some flint, and a fox skull on a cold February morning when I was eight. 20 degrees. Fifty miles from my house.
Scott: Oh god. What did you do?
PJ: It's a long story, but i came home four days later in a stretch Lincoln with whitewalls, $700 in my pocket, a scar on my cheek, and the prettiest whore in town on my arm.
Scott; I'm sorry, but I'm very busy, and as an architecture major you can't imagine my schedule. Also, I'm not a big football fan. I'd like to help, but--
PJ: My daddy slapped the cigarette out of my mouth that day, son. He picked it up and threw it in the backseat of that car, and as I watched it burn he said, "Now you know what life's about, son." That whore later became the first female orthodontist in North Carolina. Amazing things happen when you embrace challenge, son.
Scott: I really wish I could make it.
PJ: And I don't care. I don't care about you, Scott. The world doesn't care about you, either. I'd play football in front of empty bleachers and the bare sky, Scott. I would be fine with that. I coached in Valdosta. I KNOW what nothing looks like.
Scott: I could call security.
PJ: And I could drink this flask of kerosene in my pocket, Scott, but I ain't got a sore throat this week.
Scott: What?
PJ: Scott, I gotta pull your faces away from the Atari to get you into the damn stands because my players are weak and need other humans to watch them play football. So you're gonna be there, Scott. You're gonna be there because my players need noise and even if you have to fake it, Arash--
Scott: --Scott, sir--
PJ: --I don't care, Brad, you're gonna be there. And if you aren't, I promise you, you will wake up with your hand nailed to a stump in the woods on a cold winter's morning. Either way you'll thank me.
Scott: You're scaring me, Coach.
PJ: I don't care. I really don't. See you Saturday. That's not a farewell, that's an order.
Johnson leaves. Scott returns, shaken, to his enormous triple monitor display in the corner of the room.
Scott: Okay, where was I...well, I guess I have a little time for Minecraft.
Scott: Hmm. That's odd...I didn't build anything there...
Zooms in. Zooms in again.
Scott; Oh god.
PJ: JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE HOW THAT ARCHITECTURE PROJECT IS GOING, SON. REALLY GONNA NEED YOU ON SATURDAY. STUMPS. NAILS. MANHOOD. WHORES WHO BECOME ORTHODONTISTS.
Scott: AAAIIIGGHHHHH---
[snorts five ritalin]

To some people potential drunken property damage, parking issues, crime are more important than an easy place to walk in order to get your drink on.
On a side note,
It is interesting to notice how quickly Atlanta’s congestion problems have peaked and started to fall relative to certain other cities. Also, how the cities that have experienced significant drops in congestion time correlate with the cities that have high unemployment rates.

Pesky little facts
“No zoning” does not equal “strip club next to schools”. Bars and “adult” establishments are restricted on distance from schools, churches.

Yep
Just going off rumors that I remember from the time. Other names I remember are Muschamp and Edsall.
Indeed. Muschamp and Edsall were on that list.
The search committee also met with
Charlie Strong (Florida DC)
Chris Hatcher (GaSouthern HC)
Terry Bowden (fmr. Auburn HC)
Jon Tenuta (Georgia Tech DC)

Whoops, forgot Joker Phillips (then Kentucky OC)
That’d have been different.

Edsall was high on my list back in 2007
That was the one year UConn actually had a pretty good year in football.
In retrospect…. thank gods that didn’t happen.
My years in marching band have made me an authority on football.
Oh, and I have a Twitter.

Since you put Christ Hatcher and Terry Bowden next together
I read it as “Teri Hatcher.”
So.
That's a powerful adhesive!

It's better that you don't think. It's Finebaum we're talking about here.

I would like to apply Paul Johnson's talents to the Rice student body
who generally have even flimsier excuses than “architecture projects”. pfft.

I hope that when Paul Johnson washes out spectacularly at Tech, we are in a position to grab him
He’d have plenty of doors to knock on to get people to go the hell to games, midterms be damned.

Not sure how that scenario works out. Tech hangs on even to mediocre coaches for 6-7 years, and this guy’s absolutely perfect. He could easily win more games at Tech than Bobby Dodd. The only way PJ leaves Tech is if ‘Bama or the equivalent talks him into it. The money wouldn’t do it, but if he thinks he’s plateaued because of Tech’s recruiting disadvantages, the chance to stomp the crap out of everyone with first-line talent in his scheme might persuade him.
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
Notre Dame will come calling
NDNation will rejoice.

No chance, Irish
A. You don’t pay enough. B. He has absolutely no connection to the Midwest. C. He doesn’t give a shit about Notre Dame’s “mystique.”
I’d think Tennessee might have a shot, but probably not. He seems to want to run a major program within easy driving distance of Western North Carolina. Not a lot of those. UGA, Clemson, UNC are too lateral a move to seem likely.
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
lol at Notre Dame not paying enough
The other two don’t matter.

I can't see ND wanting a coach who generally seems annoyed by the media
and cares not one iota for what you or anyone else thinks.

He's not a Sabanbot
Not everybody does everything in order to get a raise from $2.5 million to $3 million. Nor is everybody willing to job hop to an unfamiliar (and hideous) part of the country for that raise. PJ has worked in Statesboro (gave him his start), Honolulu, Statesboro again (gave him his first head coaching job), Annapolis and Atlanta. You think anyone in their right mind who wasn’t a ND alum would trade any of those places for South Bend? And lose 100 percent of your recruiting contacts in the process? OK, yes to Statesboro, but it’s less than an hour from Savannah, and they gave him his shot.
I can’t see anybody wanting the ND job who isn’t a Catholic from the Midwest or northeast, or an alum.
As for the money, PJ makes $2.5M a year from Tech. Notre Dame doesn’t have to publish Kelly’s salary, but he was making $1.5M at Cincinnati, so probably about the same as PJ now. Weiss was paid $6.6M to pay off his contract through 2015. Notre Dame’s athletic budget is about 60 percent bigger than Tech’s, but their expenses are higher, too (Tech has a lot less Title IX expenses because of the ratio).
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
Oh lord....
The thought of PJ with a smile of bloodlust leading out a well oiled Alabama Crimson Tide murderlator death machine is of one the most frightening things ever I have ever thought about.

PJ: It’s a long story, but i came home four days later in a stretch Lincoln with whitewalls, $700 in my pocket, a scar on my cheek, and the prettiest whore in town on my arm.
So Paul Johnson took a recruiting trip to Miami?
