[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 585838, member: 265"] As usual, we are talking past one another. Your post was about [I]QBs [/I]and how we didn't recruit dual threat types under Paul as well as expected because Paul was hired too late or something like that. That's simply not true and I pointed that out. Now, if you had said the [I]entire[/I] recruiting program under Paul, I would still have disagreed, though nowhere near as strongly. We had some areas - same ones as today, apparently - where we didn't recruit well. Here in particular I would point to the DL. We came close (Truitt, Holiday) to turning even that around, but didn't. So … no, I wouldn't have said that our recruiting was just fine for the last 11 years; there are always going to be problems (you didn't hear it here first, but wait for a year or so then come back to this post) getting Clemson-type quality depth at Tech. Final word on this from me: if Dedrick hadn't been fired over a badly out-dated administrative policy, Tech would be coming off two straight seasons with at least 8/9 wins and this board would be moaning and groaning about Dedrick leaving for the pros after his junior year. Yes. He [I]was[/I] that important. Oh, and Paul would still be coach. Now, as to Stansbury. He wasn't all that thrilled when Paul resigned - you can look at pretty much the same pundits a week earlier. He did what he had to, however, and Coach was a solid hire. And, of course, he's done everything in the AD's power to back the narrative that Coach wants. He [I]has[/I] to: if we don't recruit a lot better - another way of saying putting more money into the program - then we will have a real problem on our hands. And I suspect that recruiting will improve; at least, we'll have better "recruiting rankings". And don't make out that I'm all offended about posts that disparage Paul. The worse of these are not worth much in the way of a reply. Yours generally are. You simply misread my post into some kind of blanket defense of Paul. He was a really good coach for us, but he wasn't perfect. We'll see if Coach can do better Real Soon Now. [/QUOTE]
