[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 666202, member: 1191"] I moved the convo to this thread as it seems more appropriate here. I agree with everything you are saying including that this is a long term fix. Even if we get our talent to the point we have clear advantages over Duke and Pitt (UVA has historically recruited well but suffered with poor coaching) I don't know how well that will equate to win totals our fan base will be satisfied with. Chalking up uga, Clemson, and ND as likely losses in the next few years, with better talent we [I][B]should [/B][/I]win games against Duke, Pitt, and a weak Atlantic rotating crossover. Couple those with the 2-3 OoC games (3 in non ND years) and that gets us to 5-6 wins and 2-3 losses. Eventually Miami will figure things out and their recruiting even during this bad stretch is vastly better than ours. UNC is probably going to get a lot better with Brown back at the helm. Time will tell if they can sustain it, but for the next 2-3 years they will be a very tough game for us, and they are currently recruiting better than us as well. UVA will continue to improve under Mendenhall, and I wouldn't ever chalk any game against them in the near future as an automatic win. VT is the real enigma. Expecting schools like VT with the resources they are willing to pour into football to stay static is foolish. When it's all said and done, if our talent/recruiting doesn't start cracking the top 20 every year, it's very possible that we become a very talented 7-8 win team yearly, which isn't much different from where we have been historically. Now, if CGC can get us to 10-11 wins every 4-5 years or so like CPJ, then I can handle winning 7-8 games most years and will even countenance the occasional off year of 3-5 wins. Will the rest of the fan base do that though? I doubt it. In reality, our recruiting has to improve even more than we have already to be competitive at the level we desire. [/QUOTE]
