[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 525220, member: 265"] Well, I remember the L**** hire different then you do. There were several candidates and he was chosen largely because he was - wait for it - younger then the others, enthusiastic, and (supposedly) a good recruiter. At the time I thought it was a very bad decision since he had only had one successful year as a head coach, but apparently the big donors liked him a lot and wanted - wait for it, again - "excitement". One might point out as well that Ross was just about the least cool head coach in Tech history, but you are right: it was success on the field and court that made Tech a big name in 90-91. And that was my point. I don't have any objection to people getting all hepped up about Coach, but it is success on the field that has kept us afloat, not hype. If Coach wants to push Atlanta and talk up Tech that's fine; it can't hurt. It's what we do on the field for the next couple of years that will determine our recruiting success, however. If we succeed there, find the right kids to recruit, and offer a good education to boot then we'll do fine. All that is still up in the air, but I don't see any reason why we can't make the program work. [/QUOTE]
