[QUOTE="TechCubed, post: 253256, member: 491"] Commitment is a pretty broad concept, so let's focus on one area -- the locker room. I've been in there a few times, just as probably some others on this board. Is it awful? No. Is it nice and modern? No. Is it in need of an update? Yes, probably just as everything that's 10+ years old in terms of sports facilities needs a facelift. It's where the players spend most of their time, and it's a space that every recruit sees. Seems like a worthy place to make an investment. As CPJ said in other interviews, there were plans drawn up for a renovation a while back but nothing beyond that. To me, that's where administration strategy and commitment come into play. Not sure the price tag, but sure it's a few million if you want it done right. Where was the fundraising push after the Orange Bowl victory? That would have been an ideal time to raise money for this (or whatever was the highest priority). When CPJ came to GT, he expressed the need for an indoor facility. He got it via DRad (thanks to generous gift from Brocks). Not much has been invested in the program since then. So whatever your opinion of CPJ may be, this is an issue that extends beyond the head coach and doesn't go away with a new head coach. I can understand his frustration. He's basically saying that you can't compete with the Clemsons of the world just by saying you want to compete with them. As far as my "expectation" of Stansbury? Assess the needs, formulate a plan to address them, share that plan and actually execute that plan. CPJ didn't say it in those words, but that's my interpretation. We need more than lip service to compete. [/QUOTE]
