Around SBN: Stan Van Gundy Fired As Head Coach Of The Magic

Paul Johnson teams after a loss...

I think Winfield is still drunk at the Esso Club so here are rehashed stats about Paul Johnson teams in build up to VT next week...

Since 2002, Paul Johnson teams are 25-13 after a loss. Since CPJ's been at Tech, his teams are 9-0 after a loss.

Since 2002, Paul Johnson's teams have gone 62-35 on Saturday games. On Weekday games in the same period, Johnson's squads have gone 7-6. At Tech, CPJ is 2-3 in Weekday games (this includes bowl games).

With extra prep time, CPJ is 24-13 since 2010. If opponents have extra prep time against CPJ, they increase their chances of winning from a measly 27.6% chance of victory to 41.3% of the time. With the same amount of prep time, opponents are 16-41 against CPJ's squads. VPI has the same prep time as GT.

Good analysis as always

Do you even have time to do anything else?

So what are your predictions on this game? Will this game reinforce the pattern or break the pattern? Or is it a moot point because VT is a much better team anyway?

I wonder

if Paul Johnson has faced such stiff competition after a loss while at Georgia Tech. We’re coming off a loss going against probably the best team on our schedule.

Unfortunately, I’m not too optimistic about this game. We have a slightly better chance against Miami, and then Duke is a must-win so we’re bowl eligible.

Here’s the competition after a loss (I’m not sure about the first game of the season after a loss in the bowl game, so I’ve omitted….bottom line is the first game of the year is a gimme):

2008:
Mississippi State
FSU
MIami

2009:
UNC
Clemson (ACC Championship Game)

2010:
UNC
Wake Forest

Conclusion: Paul Johnson has faced some stiff competition after a loss, and responded. Unfortunately for this year, the team is not as talented, and may not be able to respond. It’ll be exciting to watch though, Coastal Division on the line…season on the line…that’s why we play the games.

Yes, that’s why we play the games.

Could go either way. I’m guessing we can score, but the better question is, can we stop them from scoring?

I'm not convinced yet that it could go either way

Last year’s defense was worse than this year’s. The difference was that last year other teams were pressured into having to score every time they got the ball because facing last year’s offense meant they might not ever get the ball again.
