[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 294915, member: 2451"] Well, I don't know that I would qualify as a "Doddophile". I do know that comparing players and coaches from different eras is mostly a fool's errand. Dodd was among the very best coaches from his era. He was an excellent recruiter when not hamstrung by academic requirements and was an exceptional game day coach. His reputation in his era was largely due to an exemplary relationship with the media, a fine bowl record, and exceptional success in beating Georgia. My parents had season tickets for more than 20 years and Dad thought he was somewhat overrated because his talent seemed, at times to exceed the results. Tech played a challenging schedule for the most part. LSU, UGA, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Duke, Clemson, Florida and Vanderbilt were pretty much every year. It should be noted that Clemson was not as good then as they are now but that Duke was probably a little better then than they are now. Florida, Vanderbilt and Auburn were not quite as good then as they are now but still formidable. One thing that has not changed: calculus [/QUOTE]
