[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 868399, member: 844"] The conundrum is that the game has shifted in a lot of ways such that a proven, good coach wouldn't want this job. As a student in the late 70's/early 80's the glory days weren't that far in the past such that we retained a sliver of hope that they would come back. In today's world, no one below 45 - 50 even remembers Gt as a steady and consistent force. Sure, we have had flashes here and there. Secondly, it used to be a coach who stayed and showed steady performance and annual bowl trips could flourish at a place like GT. But with the advent of the playoffs , if you aren't in the hunt for the playoffs you are considered a meh program. Places like Florida and Michigan and Auburn were once considered prominent and elite. But now there are the 5-7 power teams and then everyone else is lumped into a pile of also rans. Who cares if you won the Rose Bowl if it isn't a playoff game. Will we attract coaches in the future? Of course, there are always guys who think they are up to the task plus it is a chance to make the kind of money that most will have to work a lifetime to make. But, in an odd sort of way, I would be hesitant about anyone who is foolish enough to take this job. i would wonder if he had done due diligence in his research or was just signing up for a contract that guarantees success no matter what happens 3-5 years down the road.
