[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 498537, member: 2957"] I would like to think this, but reality tells me different. I believe (this is my opinion based on anecdotal evidence) that for the most part, Tech is irrelevant to local kids. With UGA rising, it's the hot program. It's the same in Alabama. Auburn was considered an option for a long time, but now ... with Saban at Bama, Auburn has retreated to a few of the major cities and some strongholds. It has really dropped off the map compared to what it used to be. (If they start winning again, different story.) Dodd opined that Tech has to own Atlanta, the high schools in the metro area. That drives attendance, the fanbase, etc. National recruiting is great, but the moms and dads won't be there, so not a big impact on attendance. (Dodd was partially paid on the gate attendance so this mattered a lot.) I do believe that CPJ was/is a very good coach. But I think we will benefit from a younger coach who has the stamina to run all the facets of the program that need to be run and foremost, develop a strategy for talent acquisition and development. I feel there isn't one. [/QUOTE]
