[QUOTE="GSOJacket, post: 846850, member: 727"] We need something different that sets us apart. We had that in CPJ - unique offense, very smart game day coach. On balance he was a successful Tech head football coach. Unfortunately, we didn't have the money to support a competitive staff (esp DC). Collins is also different - his marketing approach. He may ultimately succeed, although it's not looking good if he's unable to surround himself with a much stronger staff (a la Dabo). Next time, we might want to take a look at the Wake Forest model for a possible fit at Tech. Two/three star players that stay 4 - 5 years, upper class teams. As Dave Clawson points out, Jim Grobe started this model and was successful with it - until success seduced him into trying to be like everybody else, going after 4-5 star players who were not as committed to the school. (This is what Grobe told Clawson when Clawson came to Wake.) I know this is not what some on this board want to hear, but we aren't going to be successful with a factory approach. [/QUOTE]
