[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 909077, member: 4334"] I hear you but I’m giving my observation from what I’ve seen. Look at these 65 jobs. If you remove the team logos you couldn’t tell the vast majority of the teams apart because they are all running lemming copy cat systems. And to your point once a coach gets one of those 65 spots he is going to do every thing to keep it because once hired the clock starts ticking on when you will be fired. The easiest way to not draw attention or criticism is to just blend in. We see it all the time where the guys who do their own thing get ridiculed the second they lose. Look at how the press treated Johnson. Compare that to how they treated the coaches at places like BC, NC State, Syracuse, Miami, FSU, Arkansas, etc who won less but because they ran the standard system they were left alone to go 6-6 or 7-5 every year. Well, GT is now part of the lemming club and it sure is glorious. What’s funny is a guy like Long will go down a level and probably tweak everything because no one will be watching and he’ll probably succeed. Then he’ll come back to P5 and go back to running the script once the spotlight is back. And your Tennessee analogy is pretty good. They went the normal route of hiring lemmings who all failed but cashed in big time. It took a guy who does things out of the box to have gotten them going who came from outside of the SEC coaching ranks. [/QUOTE]
