[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 909781, member: 2426"] You keep acting as though posters are saying that recruiting doesn't matter at all. The athletic abilities of the players does matter. However, it is still only part of the equation. Miami is the perfect example of top notch recruiting while lacking everything else. Their athletes can cause them to win games. Their lack of discipline can cause them to lose games. GT has several limitations, the most obvious is funding. Unless fans put up a lot more money (and by a lot I mean something close to double the current athletic association income), GT will not be able to hire a unicorn coach ($10 million per year compared to our current $3 million), hire the best coordinators ($2 million vs highest paid at GT around $600-800k), and provide donations for NIL which TA&M has around $30 million according to rumors. To compete for that, GT needs around $15 million per year for additional coaching salaries and $15-30 million per year for NIL. It could be argued that GT sold out everything else for recruiting with Collins. Explain to fans and donors what is happening? No, he is talking to recruits, not us. Maintain traditions that make GT unique? No, only pander to recruits. Practice in ways that lead to winning games? No, practice in such a way that you can sell the practices to recruits. I am not, and would not argue that GT should not concern itself with recruiting. I am arguing that recruiting is one piece of the puzzle and that everything has to be balanced out as well as possible for the best chance at success. [/QUOTE]
