[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 913506, member: 265"] Eggsackley. At my old college, we regularly ranked in the low to mid 90s on student engagement and in the 70s in academic challenge. The response of my colleagues and the administration was to say we ought to build on what we were doing well and double down on engagement. I pointed out - and got seconded by a few of the mathematicians - was that just about the hardest thing to do in a complex organization is to go from 92 to 98 in any ranking. You are already doing so well that any increment of effort is very, very unlikely to pay off. Oth, moving the academic challenge from 73 to 80 was child';s play in comparison. This is a simple fact of how the world works that is hard to get across. Once you are doing really well at something, it's hard to get better and a matter of sheer bum luck - in. most cases - to become the best. It can be done - Saban did it at Bama - but it takes a level of organizational commitment that is seldom seen and hard to come by. The fans at UF are almost - not quite, but close - as certifiable as the ones at Awbun and Bama. They should not be used as a gage by anyone who's looking at football coaches at Tech, imho. [/QUOTE]
