[QUOTE="CEB, post: 861580, member: 4905"] I said just a few days ago that I can’t imagine a coach at this level sitting a kid, regardless of age, if they can produce. I have / had my doubts that older guys are playing ONLY because they are older guys.. That said, the one constant and consistent thing we have heard from this staff is the “culture” they are pushing. CGC caught a lot of backlash for his comment about the culture is in place and now we can focus on football (completely paraphrased, exact words irrelevant to this post). So, I am stopping for a minute to consider: What if part of the culture he’s talking about is respect for the school and the history of the program and the guys who have come before? What if there was a conscious effort to keep guys who were invested in the program before he got here and reward them for hard work? What if some of the disparaging things we thought we heard about the transition and the talent level were offset by an internal commitment to the older guys and respect for the effort and leadership they had? Is that the worst thing? I don’t think you can sustain that forever, and I have no real knowledge if that was actually done, but what if? We all agree that an ideal is developing and sustaining talent. We all agree that experience and “get old, stay old” is extremely valuable. I am pretty sure most of us have longed for the time that we could amass redshirt talent. What if this article is correct and we have equal or perhaps better younger players in waiting? Even better, what if that was by design? I guess we get to find out this year. Hopefully we will see this culture that has been emphasized so much prove to be instrumental in the sustained talent next year and beyond. Reading this in print and giving it a second thought… I am now really wanting this to be a function of loyalty, culture and long term thinking… [/QUOTE]
