What's Buzzin' Tuesday Night

5 MYTHS OF PAUL JOHNSON'S OFFENSE
Someone on one of the boards posted a link to this article, which just may be the ultimate high level debunking of all the myths you've heard or will hear about Paul Johnson's offense. It is so much of a must-read, that I'm assigning homework........ and there will be a quiz later - period!! Your life depends on it.

TENUTA WORKING FOR SPURRIER?
Tyrone Nix just left USC-East to work for Houston Nutt at Ole Miss. That means Spurrier is on the lookout for a new DC. Expect Jon Tenuta to get a look. Of course his name is still prominent for the LSU DC job.

GREENER GRASS IN THE ATL ?
Evidently some UCLA folks are going through their own personal demons as they wait on their next coach. We all know about the excrutiating daily wait with dribs and drabs of inaccurate info leaking out. In the meantime, this UCLA blogger's outside impression of Dan Radakovich's hiring process and ultimate result was the cream of the NCAA crop when it came to hires. An efficient, thorough process. A good list of quality candidates with varying types of experience and expertise. Then sealing the deal with the best candidate quickly and efficienctly.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD JOB OPENING?
Interesting article on what makes a good head coaching job. I'd say we fare well on most areas on the list.

ALL-AMERICANS
The SI.com All-American list is out and you have:
P: Durant Brooks 1st Team
K: Travis Bell Honorable mention
RB: Tashard Choice Honorable mention

In addition, the AP All-American team is out and we had two guys there as well - Durant Brooks (2nd team - huhhh?), Vance Walker (3rd team defense).

Way to go guys!!!

PAUL JOHNSON'S CHEESE
Evidently nobody is going to be moving Paul Johnson's cheese for quite awhile. Details about his contract are out now. Check it out here. Honestly, it seems like a better deal for GT and a better deal for PJ.

PJ's former followers send their well wishes and thanks.

However, to pay for all this - we've started a new campaign.

NOTRE DAME / NAVY AWARD CONTEST
ESPN tells us who wins the annual Navy / Notre Dame awards: PJ gets Coach of the Year (between those two teams), and there's this:

Biggest Surprise: Navy's offense. It really shouldn't be a surprise by now, but Navy continued to mass-produce yards and points in a season when it had to. Kaheaku-Enhada and stable of backs helped the Mids to another ho-hum 8-4 season. Seven players rushed for more than 450 yards and five touchdowns. Navy scored 30 points or more in all but two games and eclipsed 45 points five times. Other surprises include Notre Dame's pass defense (third nationally) and Irish converted defensive end Trevor Laws.


1999 I-AA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Watch it right here folks. This would be the game where PJ trounced Youngstown State coached by some hack named Jim Tressell. If the link below doesn't work - click here.
