Paul Johnson longs for the days of beating Dabo "left and right" on recruiting trail

Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson received a two-year contract extension recently that will keep him in Atlanta through the 2022 season. For Clemson fans that once wondered if the Tigers would ever get over the Georgia Tech hurdle, the extension might be welcome news.

However, Johnson made comments to Ken Sugiura of the AJC this week that he longs for the days when he beat out Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney left and right for recruits. He then pointed to the difference between the athletic budgets of the two schools as a reason why he can’t compete on the playing field.
