[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 585927, member: 265"] This could be due to two things. It looks like you believe that it was about making excuses - you're always saying that - for not winning 8-9-10 games every year. But it could be because Paul wasn't one to pull punches, especially when he got starved of recruiting resources. So he belly-ached about not being able to field the operation he needed, but (wisely) held his tongue about who was to blame for it. This led [I]some[/I] people we know to think he was making excuses when all he was doing was describing the actual situation he found himself in as he watched our ACC rivals pile cash on their recruiting efforts. Now, given that I have heard every single Tech coach from Bobby Dodd on moan and groan about the restrictions Tech's academics put on their recruiting efforts and how they needed more support to overcome them, I'm more inclined to think the second option is correct. And to wonder why you aren't remembering all the complaining I have heard down through the years. Well, as I keep saying, we are now in a huge natural experiment to see if Coach is right and more money + a "cultural change" can lead to better recruiting. The results won't be conclusive and it'll take (I think) at least 2 or 3 years to see roughly what they are. I hope he's right and that he continues to get the support he needs, no matter what the results next season are. [/QUOTE]
