[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 475375, member: 2299"] 1) That isn't sabotage though and labeling at such is just trying to pass the buck. 2) The AD isn't just in charge of football. Over that period we renovated the basketball arena and had to make 2 coaching changes in basketball. So of course the focus for investment was in basketball rather than football. Again, that's not sabotage. That's part of the expected process. 3) In case you look, the teams that have significantly outclassed us haven't been the issue. Clemson we face every year. We don't face UL every year and this year we smoked them. We don't face NCSU every year and when we did play them we smoked them too. FSU dwarfs us and we beat them the last time we played. But notice, the 3 coastal teams mentioned, haven't increased that much more. I'd believe that Miami has, in part because of a coaching change, but I doubt Duke or Pitt have blown us out of the water in that regard. Maybe you can find the data that says they do though. 4) Investments are usually linked with coaching changes because the impacts of each play off each other to greater effect. We did that with basketball in renovating the AMC and hiring a new basketball coach. When a guy has been coach at a place for 10 years the overall biggest thing is what he has done there. Shiny new toys aren't going to mean as much when recruits can look back and say "but you only throw the ball to a WR 3 times a game" or "you've missed a bowl game 3 of the past 4 years". With a new coach, the new investments play into the sell of being something new. So having an 11 year coach it's to be expected that the investment hasn't kept up with schools that have changed coaches over that time. 5) Most importantly. Again, it's not sabotage and it's not close to being so. [/QUOTE]
