[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 877892, member: 5973"] i didn’t play football past HS but i knew guys and still know guys that are at some big time programs and have ins with boosters at two extremely prominent rivals that we play yearly that see a lot of success. i also played baseball at a very high level what i can tell you is great coaches don’t approach every year the same. college football has a ton of player turnover (now more than ever lol) so part of being a great coach is knowing how to approach THIS YEAR’S group of guys. something you’ll see from saban over the years is sometimes he’s chewing out guys and going crazy and some times it’s a lot more calm. not all players respond the same all the time so if you aren’t willing to adapt then you’re probably not gonna see long term success i would also say as far as recruiting vs scheme is knowing what you are able to recruit. typically the most successful philosophy in sports is best player available. take the absolute best athletes you can get in terms of speed, size, strength etc (ideally good kids that you learn are coachable and won’t be distracted by college life throughout the process too). take what you have and work around that. again, using saban as the model since he’s the greatest, when hurts was there it was a lot closer to an old run and shoot offense. a lot of read options and play action, then tua was closer to an air raid with a little bit of running from tua because they had some crazy WR talent like jeudy/waddle/ruggs then mac jones was basically a statue but they had an incredible WR corps to let him sit back and cook. now obviously it’s different when there’s a little more recruiting constraints (a la academies and actual academic institutions) where it can be more beneficial to specialize, but historically best player available is the way to go. that’s also not even to say strictly go off recruiting stars. you gotta have some good scouts [/QUOTE]
