[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 745290, member: 2299"] Johnson could have used more investment to help with recruiting, but there is also the fact that Collins has a completely different approach that is more effective in bringing in higher tier recruits. A lot more focus is on branding, building popularity, and overall presenting GT as a place where it would be fun to be. Basically, while there is more investment now, there is also more emphasis. People will often point to Johnson as "old school" as a positive thing, and in some ways it was. When it came to recruiting, he was also old school, but not in a good way. Ultimately, that aspect, and being unable to solve the defensive side of things, is why he was overall similar to Gailey in win% and not significantly higher. Johnson was really good at designing an offense and calling plays. He was not good at recruiting, nor good at defense, at least while here. And ultimately the advantage on offense wasn't able to overcome those two things to elevate us. So we hired a defensive oriented coach who had a rep, and history here, of recruiting. We're hoping that his coaching ability can get that side back to where we need, that his recruiting ability elevates the talent, and that we can get him a good enough OC and offensive staff to have the overall situation be enough to elevate us. Maybe it will be, maybe it won't. So far I like the direction we're going with recruiting and Defense, and the offense has shown good progress in limited time in year 2. [/QUOTE]
