[QUOTE="Jim Prather, post: 659652, member: 431"] Here is what I keep coming back to... Ga Southern did not have this problem... When Jeff Monken left for Army, they went out and found a coach who kept them competitive - in fact had a great first season... To top it all off, it was at the same time they were moving from FCS to FBS (I still prefer 1-A and 1-AA) , so they were working with reduced number of scholarships relative to all their competition... They would have had a REALLY valid excuse to have a couple of bad seasons. It simply feels like, at some point, a decision was made to sacrifice 1-2 seasons -- but I can't figure out the rationale behind it. Is it hubris -- they thought they could win anyway... Is it marketing -- "we're pro-style offense now". Or is it as simple as they did not know how to best utilize the available talent. This last one is what scares me. With the first two, there is at least the possibility of self-correction over time. The last one indicates a fundamental flaw which may not be fixable... Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter. In two years, we will have the results to this grand "Recruiting vs. Scheme" experiment... [/QUOTE]
