[QUOTE="billga99, post: 926169, member: 1618"] I think the reality all of us (me included) have a tough time accepting is the difficulty it is to recruit coaches into these positions. We are definitely in the bottom 20% of Power 5 revenue and have a very large debt burden currently. That impacts how much money you have to provide a head coach, coaching staff, and other staff such as recruiting. Our stadium is 20% to 40% empty each Saturday. Even Clemson at MCB drew less than 50K. We are within 250 miles of UGA, Clemson, SC, Auburn, Alabama and Tennessee in terms of recruiting (and others such as FSU and UNC definitely concentrate on Atlanta). Successful Group of 5 coaches would rate a lot of Power 5 jobs above GT. Given that background, I feel you have to take a much more pragmatic approach. That means hiring people who you think have upside to put into your coaching positions. Many on this board have advocated that we need to take 3* and coach them up. I really think our coaches can be no different. Take people who have a solid background, worked under good coaches and see if they can handle a larger role. [/QUOTE]
