[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 26855, member: 923"] The fallacy lies within the concept that top-notch coaches present at the factories could do well at Tech if we paid enough money to get them. This would not work. Tech is a different animal than the factories. We must have coaches who have produced great results at lesser schools that are not factories and had to use less than stellar athletes. One of the worst things we could do is get a professional coach who is accustomed to winning with the best available athletes that money can buy. This also would not work at Tech. A Tech coach must be able to win using his mentality and shrewd coaching techniques as well as recognizing the available talents of his players and matching their talents to a system to better utilize them. You can get these kind of coaches from lesser schools for less money. The odds are greater for success using this method than shelling out big bucks for coaches from the factories or pros who have been working with the best athletes money can buy. We did this with Johnson, and it appeared to have paid off at the beginning, but we did not know that Johnson could not adapt his strategy along the way. We also did this with Bobby Dodd, but we got lucky because he was one of the best game day coaches around, and he adapted his systems to his talent. [/QUOTE]
