[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 631248, member: 789"] I’ve ranted on here before & we’ve gone from what we had to this. We can’t buy success at GT, we just don’t have the money. We’ve got to be innovative. We’ve tried offensively scheming our way to success by going all in on half a team and trying to do the best we could on the other side of the ball & we saw what it yielded. Up, down, up, down riding the thin gold line. However, the offensive scheme was not the problem. It’s a superior scheme. Unquestionably we lacked a QB with enough talent running AND throwing for it to thrive. We saw what we did when we had both. We could not find a defense. Why? Recruiting. Why couldn’t we consistently recruit a good enough QB? Academics? Facilities? Scheme? Fan base? Recruiting. Why couldn’t we generate a good defense to couple with a good offense? Same questions as above. What can we do? 1) Big Money- Join the arms race and outspend the competition on facilities. We got a campaign going to get us to where everybody went in 2010. It’s a start but we’re still a decade behind & losing ground to the big boys. 2) Free- Fix the academics so the players only have to fight on the field, not with the Hill or their profs. No movement here at all from what I can see. 3) A. Fair amount of money- Hire an above average coaching staff. Jury is definitely out on some. B. Or we can reach on very young up & comers. 4) Free- Scheme again. We just ditched this & went back to what we were doing 5) Unknown amount of money required- More recruiting assets. We added some. 6) May cost some- Innovate- Analytics, R&D, etc. Some recent improvements, need more 7) Free- Fake it ‘til you make it; trying to do that now 8) Some money- Improve gameday environment 9) Free- beer. Actually it’s not but a very inexpensive option compared to options #1-8. I’m sure there’s others. I’m solidly for #2, #6, #8. We can’t do #4 because it’s too divisive. We need some of #1 so we’re not stale & woefully outdated. We need some of#5 because it was just idiotic how slim we were. I’ll leave #7 up to you guys because I’m not a hype fan although hype is needed. #9 is necessary regardless of whatever we do with #1-8. [/QUOTE]
