[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 909747, member: 944"] Can we all just agree that to be successful, we MUST have a combination of solid recruiting (which emphasizes good talent evaluation), good coaching to improve players once they are here, AND a quality scheme to maximize our advantages? To argue for one to the exclusion of the others is ...rather silly, imho. Makes for message board fodder but not much else. The big issue is how to evaluate all of that in any coaching candidate. We can all look backwards and agree (mostly) on the strengths and weaknesses or prior coaches at GT or coaches elsewhere in CFB, but projecting how they will do at GT seems to be a real crapshoot. I will freely admit I have NO idea how well Deion Sanders would do at all three of those things at GT, nor Jamie Chadwell, nor any of the others. Lots of other schools have had serious problems with the same issues, and in some cases coaches who seem to do OK at one school get fired at another one (I am thinking of Mack Brown as one example of this). I have resigned myself to simply sitting and watching for a while to see how things develop. I will say I think one can see pretty quickly if a coach is a decent day-to-day coach because the number of stupid "beat yourself" errors goes down. Key has improved our play in that regard...mostly. But he cannot overcome talent deficiencies. Tough spot for a guy who seems much better than G**** C****** ever was, but no way to determine how good he might be at all aspects of the job based on his interim performance. [/QUOTE]
