[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 506238, member: 2627"] Those are some excellent points. I appreciate the thought that went into your response. And I agree with most of what you've said. I think we can agree that doing the same thing that UGA and Clemson are doing would be largely ineffective and wouldn't make us more competitive with them (and could potentially make us less competitive). But part of my belief (and I can't prove it nor can we really prove the opposite) is that there are other types of offenses to run besides the one we have been running that could also give us some competitive edges. Also, clearly, I believe that we GT can recruit better even with all the limitations that the school itself presents. I don't know if the issues we have are related to our offensive system or the coaches or just purely a lack of resources (which our AD is working to improve). I'm sure some of it is lack of resources but again, we're hoping that situation improves and if that alone is reason to think that someone running the same system (or a version of it) would recruit better then that's a legitimate belief, though I don't think it moves the needle enough. So when I talk about being able to compete with UGA and Clemson a little better it's not necessarily that we are going to get a bunch of the athletes they are recruiting. I do believe, however, that we could go up against some of the other teams at our level or even a tiny bit above and get a few of them if we had a bit better recruiting. I feel like one thing that could help is to run a system that has more widespread appeal to the current high school football players. But I could be wrong about that. On the plus side, for me, is that I do like the offense we run and I do believe it gives us a slight advantage in terms of scheme. Though I also think that advantage is slowly eroding and not necessarily because our opponents are more used to it but also, as CPJ pointed out a number of times, there are some really good football players on the other side of the ball. And if our opponents are all upping their game then we need to as well. [/QUOTE]
