[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 260688, member: 2957"] I think I shared Lou Holtz's view on the TO and recruiting in a prior post. Yes, it's a highly effective offense. And yes, it hurts recruiting. NFL-bound kids don't want to go to a TO team. They prefer a factory-school. (Note ... that affects <2% of kids.) My understanding though, is that CPJ was specifically recruited to Tech because of the TO. It sets up better for the type of kids we do recruit (smaller, faster, smarter?) and so, I would expect us to run more of a "service academy" kind of program. There's a lot more to running a FBS program than the offense or the coach. You need $$$ ($100MM) to get the infrastructure, coaches, recruiting and staff to compete. Personally, I think the fans would support the TO if we won. In fact, I would rather we "commit" to be expert at the TO and then look at filling in the gaps to be the best at it in the country. (I wonder who made the call anyway? I know Homer Rice used to teach it ...) Changing styles every 5-7 years is just awful for developing long-term success. I really like ND's approach to recruiting. I wish we would do a benchmarking study and do a better job there. [/QUOTE]
