[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 48364, member: 1191"] He recruits better on average, wins more games and graduates more players than Gailey ever did. As for trending down, that's because you are looking at the bottom line without looking into the P&L, so to speak. If you look at his win totals, 9-11-6-8-7-7, you would see that he has been fairly consistent. If you aren't satisfied with the results, that's a different argument. I think we can all agree that no one is happy with 7 wins a season. The question then becomes, why are we winning 7 games a season. Prior to last year, the reason was the defense. Six CAG recruits just made it to the NFL, three via the draft, from a defense that couldn't stop Middle Tennessee State. Piss poor coaching and defensive scheme, IMO, were responsible for at least 1-2 losses per year. For instance, in 2012, GT goes up 17-14 on VT with 0:44 left on the clock.
