[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 641826, member: 844"] I get that you think that this is as simple as what we do in the business world. But in my career (manufacturing) the process was easy...I could teach a guy the process and if he couldn't or wouldn't do it, I would replace him (terminate/demote/transfer/etc.) the cycle time was much, much quicker than it is for a college athlete and the average Tom, **** or Harry could learn to do it at an acceptable level. If he wre good at his job, he wasn't going head to head with somebody better at the task than him (although we strived for constant improvement). It helped I was paying the highest wages in the surrounding area so usually the funnel of prospects was full. I am reasonably certain that if you or I had been recruited two years ago and were on the roster that no staff ever assembled at Tech (or anywhere else) could teach us to be effective. Develop us? Sure, that is easy. But turn us into ACC caliber athletes? No. I've been there and done that in the manufacturing world and to compare these two things are apples and oranges. I am good at math and fishing and have experience managing fairly large manufacturing operations. But i don't think that the transitive property applies in this case...just because I am good at X doesn't automatically make me good at Y. To think otherwise may be a bit presumptuous imo. One other thing that I could do was get more/better resources by doing the justification. If the payout was there, I could pretty much get what I needed. This included extremely large amounts of capital. i don't think these guys can do that. I know Paul tried and was unsuccesful. Maybe the return on his requests weren't sufficient enough? But that is speculation. [/QUOTE]
