[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 259902, member: 1045"] I guess I just don't understand your point. Leaving STEM aside, it sounds like you agree we don't have many majors to offer (including what appears to be about 90% of the most popular majors that football players choose). It also seems you agree the majors we do have are hard and that all of these factors are disadvantages for Tech. For my part, I agree with you that Tech does have things to sell (e.g., the strength of the degrees we do have, the city of Atlanta), and I assume the coaches are in fact trying to maximize that. We definitely are not going to get all the kids we attempt to recruit, and you point out some examples of kids we have missed on. On the other hand, there are some 4* kids that we do get. I agree that we could be doing a better job recruiting than we are. I think CPJ and his staff are fine at recruiting (on par or a little below Gailey IMHO), but it is clearly not a strength. I also think our system is an impediment to recruiting. That said, I think CPJ and his staff are better than average at maximizing results based on the talent they do have, so it is a bit of a balancing act. In a perfect world, I agree that I would like one of the top recruiters and one of the top football minds in the country coaching here. So would everyone else. And, like in recruiting, most of those schools have more to sell such a coach than Tech does (facilities, fanbase, ease of recruiting). So, I guess we have no disagreement? (Unless you are suggesting we have enough majors that we should be getting top 25 classes every year, which I would say is belied by Tech's recruiting results across numerous coaches in the modern era. Remember, any kid that is a 4-5* and academically inclined is still going to be recruited just as hard, or harder, by the football factories. And, as much as we don't want to admit it, some of them have some pretty good academic programs too in addition to their joke majors. I am just not sure what Tech has to sell that they don't. Our STEM majors are one thing but, as we discussed, there just isn't a lot of interest there. And, even places like Michigan and Stanford have that too.) The world of college football is just a tough, competitive business. In general, I am proud of how Tech has done.
