[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 724359, member: 4015"] Give him time. The proof is in the pudding. Coach Collins is all in on recruiting. Which is fine but recruiting by itself will not be enough to get this program back where it belongs. The college football historical landscape is loaded with coaches that were hyped as great recruiters and after a great class or two, the wheels fell off. Doug Dickey at Florida had a class in the late 1970s with 6 future NFL players. Their senior year they won 3 games. Ron Zook, also at Florida, recruited like a mad man and eventually put together the class that Urban Meyer won his first national championship team. It did not do Coach Zook any good. Losing to Ole Miss and Mississippi State did him in. Curiously, he won 2 out of 3 against UGA. Randy Shannon recruited up a storm at Miami but no championship. Manny is thought to be a great recruiter and has talent, plenty of it at Miami but look what happened to him. He lost to Tech last year and FIU for the first time in school history. The moral of the story is that recruiting rankings and getting talent is half the battle. A coach still has to develop them and win games. The current situation is going to give Coach Collins a pass for this year as well as last year. Then, we will see but winning 3 or 4 games a season is not going to cut it for very long. [/QUOTE]
