[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 180498, member: 630"] Curry used to frustrate me to death. Ran the ball, very little balance. I used to argue with his OC Rip Scherer about it. I was very happy when Ross was hired, and that worked out well. Balanced offense with Ralph. I was very, very concerned when Johnson was hired. I did not believe that anyone could win in modern college football without balance. I no longer believe that to be true. Johnson's offense will work in modern football. However, like every offense, you need talent. You can't fool talented and well coached defenses. Johnson has never coached in a major conference until the GT gig. What he has not done well is recruit. I don't think he likes recruiting, and he does not have a salesman's personality. He doesn't seem to understand the importance of recruiting at this level of football. He seems to think that he can use his scheme and his brilliance to overcome the talent deficiency. Even if true, there are limits, and we have seen those limits the last 2 weeks. Johnson's best back to back years were his first 2--with Gailey's talent. Roof and Pelton are bringing in better talent, but that's not helping this year. Johnson is not and will not become a great recruiter. Johnson is now 4 games over .500 for the past 5 1/3 years against FBS competition. Very mediocre. Just like his recruiting rankings. [/QUOTE]
