[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 49908, member: 265"] A losing season. Or, more like it, 2 in a row. Sort of like Bill L•••s. Like I said yesterday, one of the problems with our fan base is that we haven't seen [I]really bad[/I] football at Tech in a loooooong time. In this we mimic the Dwags: they have good seasons, but they aren't good enough since they don't win MNCs. We have good seasons, but they aren't good enough for many fans because we don't win 9 a year, like, say, LSU or Ohio State. Both sets of expectations are sure fails: you don't win MNCs with talent, you win them with talent and luck; you don't win 9 a year every year at a school with Tech's admission standards and limited curriculum. (I'm sorry, but you just [I]don't[/I].) As I keep saying, Coach is the guy who is most likely to maximize the wins we get at Tech since his O allows targeted recruiting of players who can a) do the job and b) get into Tech. That's why we hired him in the first place. All we have to do is get better on D and get the parts coordinated on O. The former is by far the more difficult proposition. On D, we often have to take shots in the dark (Gotsis) or players who were good in HS but don't fit the mold at the next level (Green) or that we hope will grow into the position (Vance Walker). From the selection just given, you can see that we [I]can[/I] succeed with that model, but it's a lot more hit and miss. Hope we can see more hits this year; we'll need it early. [/QUOTE]
