[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 667356, member: 1191"] Correct, and if you dig into my post history you will see where I have stated so. But at some point you have to look hard at correlation. In fact, when you look at programs that winn consistently at the level GT fans on these boards state. (8 wins minimum, with 10 win seasons not generationally separated) then you need to figure out how the schools that are doing that are doing that. A major difference between us and those schools is spending. Now, as I have said for probably the 100th time, I am not saying we have to spend at uga levels to achieve that level of success. We can taylor spending smartly with better coaches to build a program. We [I][B]CANNOT [/B][/I]do that at the current level of spending. If I wanted to buy a used car to take to the drag strip and compete with the local tuners, there are many price points I can enter the market at. I could spend top end and buy a souped up car with all the upgrades, or I could compete by buying an older car and doing a lot of the upgrades myself. I've become competitive without spending the same as those around me. What I can't do is buy a bargain basement jalopy with a worn out motor and expect to compete without throwing money at it. In a lot of ways, that's the way we treat our football program. We wonder why we aren't beating duke when we invest 25% less in football than they do. We are 61st of 65 P5 schools in terms of spending. That [I][B]HAS[/B][/I] to change. We can do it smartly, but it's a necessity nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
