[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 899192, member: 265"] I hate to rain on anybody's parade and I hope this isn't taken personally, but this is what I mean when I sometimes refer to "visions of sugarplums" when I talk about Tech fans. I agree that Tech can return to football respectability, and occasionally to prominence. But there are real limitations to Tech's recruiting and in its academic requirements. Tech isn't going to pull in 6 4 and 5 star players every year, no matter what the opportunities in our region or what incentives we offer or who coaches. (This [I]has[/I] happened, but I can only think of one class (2007) like that in recent history.) Tech has fielded competitive teams and had records most schools in college football would envy with those players who can fit the school and its program. And it has been done with minimal impact on academic standards. To repeat my mantra on this: at Tech the football program has to fit the school, not vice versa. What we need to do is get a coach who can make football work at Tech, even within the constraints. He's out there; in fact, there are several of them already mentioned here. [/QUOTE]
