[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 879877, member: 1640"] This is a reasonable post. And I think this is where the so called anti-option and so-called pro option fans meet in the middle. No one on “either side” ever said we can get this done without good recruiting or good coaching. I confess to being one of the more naive fans who thought Collins might fit the Dabo Sweeney model of great recruiting and rah-rah boosterism of the program and make it work with good assistants. I may be admitting too much to say this but I still harbor a secret hope that this might work out. But I don’t think Collins alone has the coaching acumen to pull this off. That’s why I remain open to either getting much better assistants or tweaking the system with a different coach who runs an unusual scheme. None of us know what the exact formula is at this point but it is not unreasonable to me that running a super generic system is going to require a top 10 to top 20 recruiting class to be competitive with everyone on our schedule. Running a more unusual scheme might allow us to get by in the top 30 to top 40 range depending on other factors. But in either case, great coaching by someone who runs a tight ship is in order. Most “scheme” coaches, by the way, seem to run tight ships. I think having the fortitude to be different requires that. One other caveat is that recruiting [B]rankings [/B] are not always the same as [B]actual[/B] [B]ability[/B] on a college football field. Some excellent pro football prospects are average college players for their team and some dynamic spark plugs on their college teams don’t make it in the pros. But, to reiterate, we ALL accept that recruiting alone will not get it done. We watched for years as uga squandered top rated classes even as FSU and Miami made top 20 classes look like bottom 60 classes. [/QUOTE]
