[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 687526, member: 1191"] The bolded sentence is the crux of the matter. As HC, you have to balance what is important for the young men you are coaching with what is important for the program and also recognize that you have to keep the fans satisfied. My point still remains. Somewhere along the line CGC will need to engage the fans with the same intentionality he is engaging the recruits and the brand/culture or else he runs the real risk of having the fan base quit showing up and donating, which hurts his ability to provide for the players. If he wins big here, that will take care of itself because fans will show up and donate to watch a winning product. If he expects this turnaround to take a while, which might very well be the case, then he should probably be investing in the good will of the fan base to stave off the pitchforks from the early naysayers. It costs him literally nothing to engage the fans and could gain him the extra year or two of grace. Now, so far, I think he's doing a pretty great job of implementing his vision and changing the brand/culture to reflect it, which is paying dividends in recruiting. Also, while I think having players dancing and singing on the sidelines while in the process of being routed is a bad look and just plain silly, I recognize that if it creates the buy in from the SA's, then it's useful. I am just pointing out that every time the fans complain, the refrain is it's not intended for us. That's really not a good response. Telling fans that they are only useful for showing up and giving their money is a sure way to alienate a fanbase. Not saying that's what is going on, but that's the answer that keeps being given from posters on here when someone critiques CGC. [/QUOTE]
