[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 661280, member: 4015"] I would not call it always "way off" but yes he could and did get outstanding players. All four of those linebackers could really bring the lumber. You are absolutely correct that he could sell Tech and Atlanta to small town boys in Valdosta, Montgomery, Kingsport Tennessee, Vicksburg Mississippi, and countless other places where the bright lights of Atlanta beckoned as a way out of chopping cotton and loading watermelons. In the late 1950s recruiting did fall off for a while for a number of reasons and Dodd entertained the entreaties of well heeled Texas alumni but ultimately they went with Darryl Royal and Coach Dodd righted the ship soon enough. He could be ruthless in making changes to reflect rule changes such as the back and forth one platoon nonsense. He also had outstanding assistants like Frank Broyles and Ray Graves. [/QUOTE]
