[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 36766, member: 923"] GTRX7: The statement of black players is a moot point and not important in the issue. Even though most of the games were white against white, the playing field was equal on that point, so it still reverted to the best coaches winning the games according to history. If you research all teams by history, you will find that (regardless of their school curriculum) some coaches were poor coaches, some mediocre, some above par, and some great. The history of each team shows the the truth of the matter. The poor coaches and winning coaches had basically the same school circumstances. The only difference was the expertise of each coach. The records of each team by groups of years depends on the particular coach during those years. I have already shown a partial history under another category on his board. It is only the tip of the iceberg, there are many more examples than those I gave. I will reiterate one instance closer to our time in history. Tech, George O'Leary, and Ralph Friegden. O'Leary was 18-20 at Tech without Friegden. He never won a game against UGA (0-4) without Friegden. He never won a bowl game (0-1) without Friegden (2-1 wirh Freigden). Tech had a very good team in Friegden's last year with O'Leary, but took the Maryland job after the UGA game and did not coach in the bowl game against LSU. Tech was favored, but lost to LSU without Friegden (O'Leary's only bowl without Friegden 0-1). Tech and O'Leary's record with Friegden was 33-14 with 3-1 record against UGA and 2-1 in bowl games. It is obvious that all things were equal at Tech with and without Friegden, but the expertise of Friegden helped O'Leary overcome his extremely poor defenses. Yes, you can give O'Leary credit for hiring Friegden, but we can easily and truthfully see the reason for winning was the new coach on the block. To give credit where credit is due, O'Leary did an outstanding job at Central Florida last year. It is obvious that the present state of football at Tech lies solely on Paul Johnson, no excuses.
