[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 916787, member: 265"] Yes. I think TFG didn't have a sound idea of what he wanted to do with players. But it isn't all on him. The big fan beef with Paul was, "He doesn't recruit! Just look at our rankings! We can do better than that! Why are we recruiting players who other P5 schools have ignored?" (Why this went on while we were, you know, winning and where it was obvious that Paul had a different way of evaluating O players has always puzzled me.) TFG paid attention to that. He wanted his recruiting classes to be as highly ranked as possible and he wanted players who would, at least, look like P5 players physically. I.e. he wanted to please the fanbase. And, for a year or so, he did. His first class was a good one, in terms of rankings, and he brought in talented players _ Gibbs - later as well. I think he believed that an accumulation of talent would translate into wins with a minimal effort by the coaches to get them ready. He was also, I think, a micromanager, just about the worst thing that can happen to a football team. Hope our next coach a) knows what he wants to do and b) recruits players that will help him do it. And, of course, ignores the fans and wins. Tall order, but possible. [/QUOTE]
