[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 207718, member: 630"] Most of the blue chip recruits want to play in an offense like NFL teams utilize. Lots of top college teams ran triple option in the '70's, and it worked. It still works in FCS. However, Power 5 teams don't run it now because you can't recruit for it. FCS teams and military academies won't get many blue chips, so they don't care. Apparently, the GT administration doesn't care either. Calvin Johnson had the highest draft position of any GT player in history. Everyone knew he was "can't miss." We could have leveraged his success (and D. Thomas') to be be Wide Receiver U. The QBs and linemen would have followed. What do we do? Hire a coach than runs the ball 90% of the time. Major missed opportunity. So we have Paul Johnson who was hired at [U]double Gailey's salary.[/U] After 8 years he has a lower FBS win % than Gailey had. The dumb decisions since Homer retired are astounding to the point that you start to wonder if the administration is trying to downplay sports. Finally, the academic excuses are just lame. We have more majors than we had in 1990, and more than we had when O'Leary had 3 top 25 finishes in a row. No one is talking about being a factory school. How about just being better than mediocre? We have an aggregate FBS losing record over the last 6 years, and the reason is subpar recruiting. We lose games in February. [/QUOTE]
