[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 879654, member: 265"] Yes to this and the comparison with Wisconsin. Having an AD who wasn't going to support your program doesn't help one bit. I've never understood hiring him. And, actually, I think Paul put in a good effort in recruiting. The main thing with him, however, was to concentrate on the players that a) could help run the schemes on O and D, b) could get into Tech, and c) could stick. (Update: this meant he was economical in his recruiting; if a top player said he had little or no interest in Tech, Paul would move on. This in turn was a wise use of scare resources.) We actually succeeded in recruiting fairly high powered D recruits, especially under Ted. The O side brought in its share of 4 star recruits and was - I'll say it again, since people seem determined to forget - consistently effective and sometimes almost unstoppable. There's an equation here: the recruits we brought in on O were highly effective in delivering [I]results[/I]. That, btw, is how we all should evaluate recruiting - by results. Now Wisconsin. Yes, to all points. We can recruit like the Badgers and, if we have a decent player development program in place and coaches who know what they are doing, Tech can win at about the same rate. Problem = we don't have either the program or the coach to do either at present. Again, the [I]results[/I] tell us this. I'm not pulling for Tech to lose. I want us to go 10 - 2 or better. But I'm certainly not expecting it. And that's too bad. [/QUOTE]
