Obviously there were no Gailey players on the 2014 team. I didn't think that needed to be spelled out. There were also no Gailey players on the following teams:
2012: 5-7 against the FBS
2013: 5-6 against the FBS
2015: 2-9 against the FBS (B*** L****-esque)
2016: 8-4 against the FBS (the other...
I thought I was the one who was cherry picking? That year was clearly an outlier. Look at the numbers. He had a losing record vs teams featuring the same number of scholarship players without Gaileys recruits. That is not good no matter how you try to spin it.
CPJ got boat-raced by MTSU at home. He lost to a Kansas team that was coming off a loss to an FCS. He lost to the worst Tennessee team of all-time. One of his best teams cam within a whisker of losing to G-W. That wake forest team was way better than any of those.
2008-09 were probably the most talented Tech Teams since 2000. Maybe the most talent since 1990. Who knows what Gailey would’ve done with them.
Nesbitt was used like Justin Fields his freshman year by gailey. Not sure where you’re getting this TE crap from.
CPJ faced significantly easier uga...
No I’m saying that’s silly to say a coach is lesser because he makes great hires. That is literally the coach’s job. CPJs inability to hire a good DC is an indictment of his coaching ability. Johnson never attracted anywhere near the coaching. Staff that GOL did.
George O’Leary won a fiesta bowl at UCF. He won 8 or more games there seven different seasons. He won a National Championship as a Defensive Coordinator.
Evaluating him on the pre-Fridge years is silly given what he pulled our program out of.
If we’re gonna say O’Leary was nothing without...
Outside of the high fours and fives I think recruiting rankings are dubious. Comparing across eras is also dubious. Rankings have been inflated.
A good example of the inflation would be that Guyton was allegedly the 59th best OLB as a recruit with that score. Nealy was 56th with his score...
I think it's safe to say our LB talent over the past 11 years was somewhere between below average and mediocre. We were basically Linebacker U and CPJ pissed that away.
Compare that to the 11 years before that:
Sedric Griffin
Brad Jefferson
Gary Guyton
Philip Wheeler
KaMichael Hall
Gerris Wilkinson
Key Fox
Daryl Smith
Recardo Wimbush
Matt Miller
Matt Uremovich
Delaunta Cameron
Ron Rogers
Keith Brooking
Night and day. Probably 8 guys from the previous 11 years...
Who wouldn't love the offense when you are scoring 40ppg and smashing the competition? CPJ was basically coaching an FCS version of Bama except instead of playing the FCS version of the SEC he was playing tiny private schools, military academies, and suitcase colleges that didn't give a flip...
