[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 861787, member: 1640"] Not sure I understand your first paragraph. Regardless of the era, Tech has pretty much always had to be innovative relative to other programs. That has never changed. The “must recruit NFL talent to win” is not going to work for us if the standard is Alabama and Georgia. Unless some major changes occur in NCAA football. Right now, with all our supposed NFL talent, we would get smoked by Army who has zero NFL talent. No, I’m leaning more and more to the notion we need to be different to be competitive. How different and what kind of different is the only question to me. 1990 was a great example of winning with a unique system and without a lot of NFL talent. Especially on offense. Criticism of past coaches, other than Lewis, seems to have been overblown when compared to the current program. Those other coaches at least had winning seasons and had teams that at least looked like they were capable of pulling off an upset, winning a division or going to a bowl. But we will have more data this season to make coaching comparisons and relative measurements of fan criticism. It has to get better, right? 😊 [/QUOTE]
