Keeping Paul Johnson past this season may not be an option for Todd Stansbury despite his support for the embattled head coach, writes the AJC’s Mark Bradley. The article relies largely on Georgia Tech’s recent flops in the Duke series as evidence that Johnson’s style has begun to fail, and it’s a pretty compelling case — the Jackets have lost 4 of 5 to the Blue Devils, an unacceptable mark despite the program David Cutcliffe has built. This is another interesting quote:
The belief is that 5-7 would leave Stansbury hanging. A 4-8 season might be enough to force his hand; a 6-6 year, while nothing to celebrate unless the sixth victory is over Georgia, would surely mean that Paul Johnson returns for 2019.
