[QUOTE="Js-showman, post: 895963, member: 662"] Glad to see a thread that is actually talking about the core issue. When it comes to the transformation of CFB, the train has left the station. CFB is the farm team for the NFL. It isn't about academics any longer, unless you want to consider 'sports and sports management' academic disciplines (which I am not necessarily against). When you put this in the context of GT and the GTAA, we - as an institution - are never going to transform into a factory for the NFL. We are an international STEM school (and one of the best), who uses sports to advance the leadership and character of our students and our alumni. This whole notion of bringing in a coach who was '[I]at the intersection of the Saban and Meyer coaching trees[/I]' and was going to win '[I]the Alabama way[/I]' through the acquisition of 4 and 5 star recruits, 10 figure investments in facilities and coaching staffs, and running spread offenses that generate the excitement to fill 80,000 seat stadiums, was and is completely ridiculous. You can bash Paul Johnson and the Option all you want, but under that system, we had an identity and, with a small incremental investment, could recruit kids for the system without having to go head to head with SEC schools that could spend fortunes to recruit guys like Arch Manning. That system would get us the occasional ACC championship and a win over UGA. With the right QB, we might even get into a 12 team playoff system. Given where CFB is at right now, with the updated NIL rules, conference consolidation, massive amounts of money that is only more and more directed at the factories, I feel that the decisions that TS has made over the last few years, including the CGC hire, have put our program in a position from which it may never recover. Assuming that it can recover, TS and GC are not the guys to do it. [/QUOTE]
