[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 144377, member: 2299"] And his playing days doesn't mean nearly as much in terms of how good of a coach he will be as people try to make it out. Playing the game and coaching it are two extremely different things, and in many ways being a great player can hinder a person's ability to be a good coach for a number of reasons. Anyone who attended college should have experience with profs who were very good in their field, and really bad teachers. If not you're extremely lucky. Maybe he'll be a good or even great coach, but him being a great player doesn't really prove that, nor is it really even strong support. The simple truth is that in two years major questions will still be there regarding recruiting, and he will only two years head coaching experience, above the high school level, and only 3 total years of college coaching experience. If he went to any other ACC school other than GT it would be widely accepted as a budget hire, and him playing here, doesn't suddenly make him a better choice for us compared to any other ACC school. That's not reducing his qualifications. That's just stating them. And no, face the facts. Not everyone who is against Price was for gregory. I hated it. I hated it then, and I hate it now. I strongly believed that he was doomed to fail and should have never been even been given the opportunity. We were hamstung by money and still tried to land a guy with extensive head coaching experience. It made no sense. Just like it makes no sense to delay making a change in order to be in a better financial situation to compete for proven coaches, and then turn around and hire a guy with minimal experience both as a head coach and in college in general. It's the same backwards thinking that it was last time, just in reverse. Hire a guy like Price when you're weighted down financially. You go after a more proven commodity when you are out from under that weight. [/QUOTE]
