I enjoy watching the wasps lose to VT but I'm growing tired of their gimmick offense. How long do we have to wait for them to can Johnson? And will they ever compete with the Bulldogs again?

Groh tears into Tech

2:52 pm January 2, 2013, by Ken Sugiura

In an interview with the Roanoke Times, former Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Al Groh left little doubt about his feelings about his 2 ½ years coaching the Yellow Jackets.

“Just to say it briefly, this circumstance here was the most unprofessional, divisive and negative environment in which I’ve ever been,” Groh said. “To say more would be unprofessional of myself. It was just a bad cultural match.”

Tech coach Paul Johnson hired Groh in Jan. 2010 after Groh had coached at Virginia for nine seasons. He made the decision to dismiss him Oct. 8, six games into the season, after the Jackets had allowed 40-plus points in three consecutive games.

“I’m sorry to hear that Al feels that way,” Johnson said in a statement. “I’m surprised he would stay here for 2 1/2 years if he felt like that it was that bad.”

A statement released from Groh at the time of his firing was decidedly more diplomatic.

“I appreciate all the help and input from (assistant defensive coaches) Charles Kelly, Joe Speed and Andy McCollum, and the effort of all the players,” part of Groh’s statement read. “I aimed to give the best that I had every day. It’s been an honor to be a part of the legacy of Georgia Tech football.”

Beamer on the sidelines and the facial expressions…..yes, they have becomne the trademark of the Hokie team. Confused, going downhill so far that even new coaches won’t fix the problems. They need to get their act gogether before they make that dreaded trip to Georgia Tech. We whupped you in the round ball and we are going to whup you in the football!!!

One thing that Baby Beamer is definitely good at recruiting which no one can deny……hot dog sales at Stop In has reached an all time high, lol! We shall see if any of that moves to the football field in the near future. Good luck on that.
