[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 910132, member: 265"] Yes. The main thing that a program needs nowadays, imho, is a coach who either wins enough to tell the [B]Big Donors™ [/B]to go peddle their potatoes or, like Saban, gets the AD tells them in no uncertain terms to do the same. This is risky if you aren't a Bama, but it needs to be done. I hope Tech hires someone who has the guts to do this first off and not shilly-shally about it. Then it's simple: win or go home. My favorite of example of failing to do this is the Falcons. The Smiths had an offer from Paul Brown(!!!) to become the coach and GM if they would let him buy a half interest in the team. They said no. I repeat, they said no to t[I]he best pro football coach in history[/I]. They wanted to run the team themselves; [I]of course,[/I] they could do better that way! I don't know how many Super Bowls and NFC championships the Birds would have won by now if the Smiths had accepted, but it would have been substantial and would have happened within a couple of years.
