Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson lashes out at ACC after 2017 schedule released

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson lashed out at the ACC soon after the 2017 schedule was released because three teams have a bye before facing the unorthodox Jackets triple-option offense, more than any other team in the league.

This is a familiar complaint from a coach who has called the ACC's scheduling intentions into question several times over the last five years. He believes the extra time his opponents get to prepare serves to benefit them and hurt Georgia Tech.

"The conference tries to screw us every way they can," Johnson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday.
