Under Coach Paul Johnson Georgia Tech has compiled a record of 61-44 including 38 ACC wins over nine seasons. He matches George O’Leary and Bobby Ross with winning an ACC title during his tenure. Ross was 31-26 in five season at Tech including a share of the 1990 National Title. O’Leary finished 52-30 in seven full seasons (0-3 upon taking over the Jackets in ‘94 at the end of the season).
When Johnson arrived at Georgia Tech, many thought his Flexbone option offense which worked so well at Navy wouldn’t carry over to the ACC. In 2008, only his second season, he defeated Florida State, Miami and Georgia to finish 9-4.
