[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 464495, member: 265"] Let's take this one by one. 1. I liked Fridge's offense too. A lot, especially the option parts. [I]But[/I] … the recruiting context has changed completely from the Ross/O'Leary days and it wasn't all that good then. (Remember how George used to complain?) As I mentioned before, the NCAA graduation progress requirement, Tech's increasing academic standards, the 85 limit, and our limited curriculum will not magically disappear if we brought in a new coach and a new offense. I think this idea that all we need to do is use another offense is a fantasy: if I were a 4 - 5 star kid knowing that we ran a spread wouldn't make any difference to me if I didn't want a Tech education. 2. True, we do lead the nation in rushing offense. Remarkable for a school that can't recruit top drawer athletes, isn't it? Running a system offense and having standard requirements for the recruiting really does help. 3. Now, think about this. What universities do we know that have very high admission standards, a limited curriculum, and good football programs? You know, sort of like Tech. That would be the service academies. (Well, and New Mexico.) And now you know why we hired Coach. 4. "NO KID wants to play in it." Well, except for kids like JT, for instance, or Dedrick Mills or James Graham. I might also point out that our D has a lot more 4 star athletes in it then the O; you can check. Bottom line here: wake up and smell the coffee. Our situation won't be changed by anything but greater effort within the parameters we work with. If we decide to change coaches - absit omen! - they'll still be there. And, at present, there's no reason to panic. [/QUOTE]
