[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 896695, member: 1776"] If we are hiring a coach primarily on 'recruiting prowess' that is a huge mistake. That is what got us into this mess in the first place. GT football will never succeed by being a top recruiting school. In 40+ years I can count the number of Top 25 classes we have had on one hand. We are mostly an avg to below avg P5 recruiting school and are likely to always be that (Think about where most of our classes tend to rank and that there are 65 P5 programs, soon to be 69). To succeed at GT you need a HC and staff that is above avg in both player development and game day prep/coaching. There are 3 legs to the stool - recruiting, development, coaching. GT is unlikely to ever excel at #1, so it needs to excel at #2 and 3. Bobby Ross, George O'Leary, Chan Gailey, Paul Johnson were all well above average college coaches. We need someone that can build a program that doesn't rely on top level recruiting to be successful - sort of our own version of Dave Clawson. If I was in charge of the search I would not be looking for a big name, not be looking for a coach from a blue blood school - that is a completely different coaching situation and whether a coach from a blue blood school can come in and win at GT is a big question mark. I'm looking for someone that has a vision for how to build and sustain a program without having constant Top 25 recruiting classes. IMO that was my #1 worry with Collins coming in, his vision seemed to be that he would recruit like a blue-blood, which was a very unlikely proposition. I was hoping he could pull it off, but he never came close. [/QUOTE]
