[QUOTE="Yomanser, post: 279964, member: 2875"] Then what you're saying is that Ralph would have been fired from Tech much earlier, because Tech doesn't get the athletes Maryland does (he consistently recruited in the Top 30, while Tech resides outside the Top 50 currently). Chan would get fired anywhere else too. It doesn't have to be those two guys: it can be ANYONE. Running the option under center might be what's best for Tech right now, because that is the best our staff can recruit. Get a staff who can recruit in the Top 30's and you can do well with most any offense. Here's my question for you: do you think that Georgia Tech can win the National Championship with an option coach that is not Coach Johnson? In my mind, no, we won't even get close. If that's the case, then strive to do better. But that's ignoring the whole point of this my entire argument: [B]don't limit yourself even more by saying you can only choose from these certain coaches because we have to run this particular style of offense and no other.[/B] People are starting to think that only an option coach can win at Tech, and that's just not true. THAT is what I'm worried will happen: that people will get so caught up in the triple option and get so set in their way and stubborn that they will refuse any other type of offense.
