[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 566883, member: 1191"] I would only edit this to clarify that it was it's effect on defensive recruiting that was the issue. Everyone knew coming in that we would be recruiting generally lesser ranked offensive recruits as "system fits." It was our lack of being able to consistently recruit top tier [B][I]defensive [/I][/B]talent that ultimately cost us several seasons. In both 2011 and 2012, GT fielded teams ranked 16th and 11th in OFEI with the oft-maligned TW as QB and David Sims as starting BB. Our offense was churning right along without any real star power to speak of. It was the defense that was our prevalent issue. Now, whether the D woes were due to talent, scheme, poor coaching, or head coaches intentionally sabotaging their D is open to debate. I tend to believe it's a mixture of all but the last one.
