[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 384860, member: 630"] Not really. I agree that he had "a fetish for tall, big framed, coordinated dudes who can run." That doesn't take a great eye for talent. In fact, it was a disadvantage while he was at GT. He passed on a lot of kids who we could have signed, but went to other schools (and did very well) because they weren't big enough to suit Groh. And actually, I am a Groh fan when it comes to knowing defensive strategy--if he has the players to suit his strategy, which he did not at GT. Gailey was better than Groh at talent evaluation, which is surprising for a guy from the NFL. Many of his assistants were former lower level head coaches (like Div II). He reasoned that to be successful at that level, you have to be able to evaluate talent. He also won a national championship at a lower level. Gailey was a good head coach, except that he would not hire a quality offensive coordinator because he overestimated his offensive coaching ability at the college level. That was his downfall.
