[QUOTE="kalld12, post: 879423, member: 2422"] Chan Gailey enters the chat, there was once a time we had players getting drafted in the 1st 4 rounds almost every year. Not much anymore. You and many other posters on this board have settled for "below average" and every one of your posts pushes that narrative that we should give up on drawing big talent (idc who you are, you never stop trying, that's weak AF), but reality is we have about a 1% shot every year at landing a big fish (5 star), and our focus needs to be drawing 4 stars and mid to high 3 stars in which we can develop (with the right coach). Yes, scheme can provide you with advantages in certain aspects of the game, but it doesn't make up enough to contend for Nattys. Like Jacket137 referenced above, we will never compete for Nattys when teams like Bama, Clemson, Ohio State are stacked with loads of NFL talent year in and year out. Scheme, which we saw with CPJ and the triple option can overcome talent deficits against greats teams (UGA - TWICE - THWG), but it struggled where teams had tremendous speed in their Linebacker core, and some big nasties up front. At least with the option, we knew we had a dog in the fight to win almost every game. Now, back to CGC. Coach is coaching for his career this year, i dont think anyone can argue the talent level on the roster is higher than CPJs teams, but we haven't even scratched the surface of the amount of success CPJ had here. We HAVE to continue to try and draw top talent both in HS recruiting and the Transfer Portal if as a tech fanbase we want to return to a level of greatness we once knew. Alot has changed since 1960, things said back then are almost completely irrelevant to the college football landscape we know today. Coach CGC needs to focus on developing the talent on the roster today and learn how to be "game manager" on Saturdays. His job is to also get the team to "buy in" and build "great chemistry" if he wants the team to ball out and execute on Saturdays. Last year he lost the locker room and it was obvious mid-way through season. Anyways, enough of my ranting. Point is, talent alone, or scheme alone, wont get us to the promise land.
