Paul Johnson is tweeting now? #BelieveIt, he says (Dr. Saturday)
(USA Today Sports Images) Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson isn’t the most outgoing coach in college football. Abrasive has been used to describe him. Curmudgeon isn’t a bad one either. He’s not the kind of coach you’d expect to jump on social media and start tweeting goofy things like Les Miles . Well, hold the phone. After four upbeat tweets from a new @GTPaulJohnson account, even Johnson understood the humor in people disbelieving that it was actually him on Twitter. With that tweet he included the picture at the top of the post, with “#BelieveIt.” Pretty funny, and it shows a side of Johnson we don’t see too often. Probably will make it easier for him to get that blue “verified” checkmark on Twitter. Mostly what it proves is that all coaches are going to be on social media at some point. Almost all of their potential recruits are now, so it seems obvious they…
Jadeveon Clowney should lawyer up, challenge nonsensical ‘three-years-out’ rule (Yahoo! Sports)
He is a 6-6, 256-pound athletic wonder who tracks opposing ball carriers like a laser dot and punishes them like a vindictive medicine ball. If Jadeveon Clowney were allowed to enter April’s NFL draft, rather than prepare for his junior season at South Carolina, the dripping-with-talent defensive end would likely go in the top three, and possibly even the top one. Jadeveon Clowney finished the 2012 season with 13 sacks. (USA Today Sports) Yet Clowney, because of a nine-year-old decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, doesn’t have the option to cash in immediately on his potential. And the risk he’ll assume by playing another season for the Gamecocks has prompted some, including Charlotte Observer columnist Tom Sorensen, to suggest that Clowney sit out the 2013 season before going pro. I have a better idea: Clowney, who turns 20 on Valentine’s Day, should lawyer up and …
