[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 879497, member: 2957"] Really? I think I'm much more pragmatic than hoping we will land a 5* recruit based on a 1% likelihood. Have a look at our past 30+ years ... [ATTACH type="full"]12566[/ATTACH] If we assume that we can repeat the best coaching of the era since Bobby Ross, that would be GOL and a win rate of 63.9% ... which ain't great, but it was great for Tech. That's equal to about 7-8 wins a year. That is not winning Natty's. That's getting by. So the question isn't "How do we compete at the highest level of the game", the question is, "How do we compete and win at least 60% of our games, or more, in the current environment?" I think it is absolute lunacy to think that Tech, with $200MM+ in debt, an aging fanbase, a limited curriculum, and scant local support ... is going to suddenly be in the Top 10. Any talent we get (and develop) is going to get pilfered away. So, we need a new plan. My ME professor, S. Peter Kezios, said it best. "We aren't the Physics Department. We are the Real World. We deal with constraints. Not perfect solutions. Find a way to work with the constraints WE DO HAVE, not ignore them." That's not being negative, that's being realistic. Show me a plan to get us to consistently winning 7 games a year, and then ... 8 .... and then ... 9. We LURCH from one strategy to another, based on the coach we hire that year, rather than select a way to compete that works for us - long-term. Not a great way to run a $100M+ operation. [/QUOTE]
