When Paul Johnson came to Georgia Tech after doing a wonderful job at Navy, people had the same concerns about his fit in a power conference as they to do today. All of them, naturally, surround his use of the option offense.

On a Tuesday in early September, it will also be about his decision to go for two in the second overtime of Georgia Tech's loss to Tennessee.

For disclosure: This Internet Scribbler is very much a fanboy of all versions of the option. Give me the triple, veer, spread, t-bone, and other options until the Earth stops spinning on its axis. I wanted Johnson to succeed at Georgia Tech if for no other reason to see the more traditional option back on a big stage.

While this is still more opinion than it is rooted in fact, Paul Johnson probably now needs to start worrying about his job security. He came to Georgia Tech in 2008 and he's only managed to crack the double-digit mark in victories twice (2009 and 2014).

Now he's a single game into his latest season with the Yellow Jackets and he already has a strange loss under his belt. That decision to go for two might come back to haunt him if the season goes off the rails.

The Yellow Jackets had a 28-14 lead with 13:08 remaining in the game. Considering how swell Johnson is with ball control schemes, you couldn't blame a person for believing that was the end of the game.

As our Lee Corso would say, “not so fast, my friend!”

Then it all went downhill for Georgia Tech. Tennessee scored on a quick play, the Yellow Jackets turned it over when they had a chance to seal it, and all of a sudden overtime was looming.

It took two of them, but the Vols were able to defeat the Yellow Jackets despite the latter dominating time of possession and large portions of the game. Some experts will point to Johnson's decision to go for two as the downfall for the team that should have won.

Here is to hoping Paul Johnson can right this ship before he actually gets fired. But to expect something different from what he brings to GT at this point is the definition of insanity. The Yellow Jackets are what they are under his watch.
