[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 895712, member: 1451"] How much recruiting have you done at the P5 level? Me, I’ve done none…but I have decades of experience as a faculty member at Tech teaching the large core-curriculum science courses. I can assure you that for every task my job requires, the out-in-front-of-everyone part of it is tiny in comparison to the what-must-be-done-behind-the-scenes part of it. When you are short of support staff, all that behind-the-scenes stuff—which is stuff that HAS to be done—is done by you. And to do that, you have to choose something else that you WON’T do, or that you’ll put only a partial effort into. Call me a fool, but I suspect that recruiting at the P5 level also has an iceberg worth of what-must-be-done-behind-the-scenes. Recruiting film doesn’t review itself. if you don’t have a staff to do it for you, you have to review it yourself. Johnson was literally starved of resources (critical facilities and personnel) by Sasquatsch, at a time when there was an arms race of programs growing their recruiting staffs. Hell, Duke—a team that everyone here wants to hold up as an example of a program that should be beneath us—had more recruiting staff than we did at the end of Johnson’s tenure. It is easy to call someone out for ghosting their job responsibilities when you don’t give any consideration to how their hands were tied behind their back by a lack of critical resources that were a given for all their competitors. Comparing CPJ’s recruiting to CGC’s recruiting as if there were a level playing field involved is showing your bias. [/QUOTE]
