I realize this may be a bit early, but after the all Big 12 awards came out and I saw, to my confusion, that Bob Stoops was voted Big 12 Coach of the Year, I started wondering who the national coach of the year would be. For me, the question is a no-brainer: Paul Johnson at Georgia Tech is the obvious answer. The man is simply an offensive wizard. I will admit, I am an old school option fan. Those who know me know I used to be a huge Nebraska fan till they converted to the West Coast Offense. That’s where me and Big Red parted ways (and it was because of the switch in offense, not because they all of sudden sucked). I was really excited, and nervous, to see the flexbone in action in a legit (well semi- legit, I realize the ACC sucked this year) BCS conference this season. It worked to perfection. There was only one time this year, against North Caroline, that the Jackets were totally out of the game. A couple fumbles bounce the other way, and Johnson could be looking at an 11-1 team. Kudos to Johnson and Georgia Tech for having the courage to go retro, especially when mainstream media thought it couldn’t work. That’s my choice for coach of the year, who is yours?
