Dear Paul Johnson,
I confess I didn’t know much about you or option football, or really even football strategy in general, when you were hired on The Flats coming into the 2008 season. I was a Georgia Tech fan, but not a college football fan, and all I knew was Reggie Ball and Chan Gailey and nothing but 7 win seasons. I thought it was strange we were hiring a coach from a military academy.
I don’t remember much from that 2008 year. I remember some guy with a funny first name taking over the head coach position at Clemson.
