a top 25 offense is kind of a misleading argument because what about our defenses that were routinely costing the team? that part is also important. option football’s impact on recruiting is more than just one side of the ballyou want me to send you the Auburn playbook from 2010? What percentage of plays have to be options for an offense to count as an option offense? Auburn 2010 based much of their offense around zone reads and QB power runs. There's really no point in being pedantic about it.
I like Chadwell but haven't seen enough to have a super-strong opinion. I'm very happy to engage in conversation. I'm just not following what you guys are saying about the negative recruiting angle. My "argument" is pretty simple:
1) I don't think the negative recruiting against Chadwell would be as great as it was against CPJ
2) Despite the negative recruiting against CPJ, he still managed to recruit well enough to field a top-25 offense most years, including in his last two years
3) Thus, I don't see this as a very good knock against Chadwell - he will probably recruit offensive players at least as well as CPJ.
Will we scare off some 5* QBs because of it? Maybe, IDK. But the chances GT will get any 5* QBs is extraordinarily low anyway. What we'll likely get is what we've historically gotten - 3*s, with the odd 4* every once in a while (JT, Sims). Same with WR.
i don’t think that we are in for 5* recruits and no one should believe that but we have gotten 2 4* qb’s in the last 15 years out of high school and both happened to come
after the option. makes you wonder why that is.
chadwell also hasn’t shown he can recruit. while decent for the sun belt he isn’t really performing exceedingly better than other g5 programs. personally if we are hiring someone from a lower level of football i have to question whether or not they can bring in the talent to raise their level to the competition. the fact he (allegedly) is bringing in his staff with little p5 experience if any at all is a cause for concern. you can’t get away with as much on offense if your athletes aren’t quite up to par with your opposition. i’m not sure that one of his coastal teams would fair any better against uga and clemson than collins did, so i would need to see him bring in a higher level of talent to bridge that gap. can he do that? no clue as to whether he will or won’t, but that is why it is fair to ask the question and it should not immediately be dismissed
