[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 914763, member: 2332"] Posting this here so as not to take another thread off topic. I don't think it's fair to presume recruiting for any spread option system would automatically be as difficult as it was under CPJ. I always personally liked Coach Johnson. But he's on the record as saying that he thinks 'recruiting' is a bunch of nonsense, schools recruit themselves, 'kids today think that stuff is neat I guess'. (Go listen to the podcast he did with Jeff Shultz a few years back, he's pretty open about his feelings.) I believe, if CPJ had bought in more on recruiting, he probably could've done better. The HC sets the tone for the program and I don't think he pushed his staff on it either. He also was lacking in support/resources, especially under Bobinski. But I don't think he was motivated to push hard for resources for recruiting - especially when there were other unaddressed priorities. I'm not trying to re-litigate any arguments about CPJ's recruiting. Just to say that the 'option offense' wasn't the only variable in the recruiting equation. If Tech hires Chadwell or another HC or OC with an 'option offense', that will only be one variable, among many, on how well they can recruit. Resources, staff effort, staff ability, NIL, wins; will matter much more IMHO. Just like running an 'NFL-Pro-Spread-Multiple' didn't automatically elevate recruiting for C****. Even though he put all his efforts and energy into it. Outside of one class, his were only a few spots better than CPJ. We should expect a coach/staff to work on and succeed in both Jimmies & Joes and Xs & Os. Whether one or the other is your stronger aptitude, you need both to win. [/QUOTE]
