[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 645501, member: 944"] I believe CPJ was a superb coach of the 3O and that factor kept us competitive with teams who had more talent than we had. I believe that many talented players chose to ignore GT because of the 3O offense, whether we like it or not. It was also something many others disliked, in the fan base and amongst big dollar donors. It may not always have been logical, but the criticism of "high school offense" hurt, and the idea that we had to use a gimmick to compete was insulting to some. Just mho. I worry that we will never be able to compete in recruiting with the big boys of college football for a myriad of reasons, ranging from academics to funding of the program. I do believe CPJ was hamstrung by the funding, but I also believe his offense had limited appeal among young athletes. I doubt many among us can judge which factor was the bigger in terms of the relatively poor recruiting we had. I am concerned about what the solution is to those issues. I don't see us magically raising enough money to start competing at the highest level for recruits. I don't see the Administration bending any policies to make things easier for athletics at GT to any significant degree. I remember being killed by a mediocre/decent Minnesota team in the bowl game last year and the disparity along the line of scrimmage was noticeable and severe. That was a harbinger of things to come this year. Overall, I think trying a radically different approach was and is worth a shot. If that doesn't work, I am not sure where to go next....good thing I'm not our AD. [/QUOTE]
