[QUOTE="Foxyg, post: 272167, member: 1508"] I live in Statesboro. The majority of folks I've talked to have been very pleased with the hire. These people also understand the nature of big time college football and Southern's place in that pecking order. On the other hand, before the hire of Cook, I had a friend tell me with a straight face that he didn't think Southern should go back to a triple option spread because it hurts recruiting. He further elaborated that if Southern's ultimate goal is to win national championships years down the road, he didn't think that getting pigeon holed as a triple option spread team was the way to go. After I chugged the rest of my beer, I explained to him that Southern, as currently constituted was never going to win recruiting battles for 5-star drop back passers and that running something different on offense made much more sense because a) you're recruiting different type players; and b) your opposition doesn't see it every week. We then engaged in a long talk about what Southern needed to do to get into a power 5 conference. The point I tried to make to him was that there's a reason why Ohio State and Alabama are always good. It's because of name cache and money, neither of which Georgia Southern has. In order for them to even get to conference USA or the AAC, they'd need a massive injection of money and they'd need to start winning conference titles, repeatedly, in multiple sports. Their best shot of doing that now is to run something on offense that they can recruit to and that is a little different. I love this guy. He's a good friend, is very sincere and not an idiot by any stretch of the imagination. Nevertheless, I don't think he's representative of the majority of their fan base. Sometimes people's opinions about the state of their own program astound me. I assume we have some of those fans too. [/QUOTE]
