[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 477442, member: 265"] As I keep asking and tried to advance in discussion by this thread: WHY? I keep hearing you and others say this. I keep hearing anecdotes about for the idea and anecdotes (Mills, JT, Graham) against it. But there doesn't seem to be much in the way of systematic evidence - check the tables provided by me and RiseUp - for the proposition. The other factors, especially the curriculum, are demonstrable obstacles, cited by multiple coaches using multiple systems down through the years. (Shoot, even [I]Bobby Dodd[/I] used to complain about academic barriers.) I think the evidence is strong that Tech has occasional good recruiting years and is ok, but no better, most of the time, no matter who is coaching and what offense is being used. Changing the "emphasis" given to football - i.e. letting pretty much anyone the coaches wanted into Tech - would change that. As I said at the start here, that will [I]not[/I] happen. We're better off giving the present staff the resources they need and seeing if the situation - and I agree there is one - can be turned around. If not, [I]then[/I] start making wholesale changes.
