[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 37369, member: 265"] Usually, I agree with pretty much anything that Boomer posts, but not this time. Put yourself in the position of a coach with these kinds of constraints. Who would you recruit? I can't answer that conclusively, but I know who [I]I'd[/I] go after: pretty much the same kinds of athletes we now admit. I might take a very few more risks, but, caught between the rock of academic standards and the hard place of winning, I'd go for the players who fit the academics and [I]dare[/I] the AD to fire me for it. And, I'm betting, he wouldn't. Bottom line: the school cares more about its academic standing then its football winning percentage, so long as that doesn't fall right off the cliff. So, you would still insist on "accountability"? Gooooood luck on getting any coach to agree to that. If the choice is do ok and keep the standards, we can find coaches; shoot, that's why we hired CPJ. If the coach's choice is take doubtful players and get fired if they don't pan out or the teams doesn't win, I don't think anyone in the business would touch Tech with a fork. [/QUOTE]
