[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 362517, member: 2957"] I do believe it's a Program issue and not a Coach issue. We don't seem to have a concept, a framework, for how we want to organize the GT approach to football. Still, I remember the words of S. Peter Kezios, my mechanical engineering professor. He always said, "You can't build perfect solutions. You don't have perfect resources or perfect budgets. You have to design successful solutions to problems based on the constraints you've been given. That's engineering." My graduate design project was to design and manufacture a testing device for metal parts. The one in the catalog was $25,000. My professor gave our team a constraint of $500. We designed one. It worked. Got an A. We will not win an arms race with a factory school. Our constraint is the size of our fan base, our ability to generate revenue, and yes, our ability to recruit kids to a school like ours. So, to paraphrase Kezios ... "Now that you understand the constraint, go out and design a solution." Using the same approach as everyone else is Fool's Gold, IMO. [/QUOTE]
