[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 877065, member: 1776"] While I don't believe this to be true at its basest extent, based on the public comments the last 3 years the plan would appear to be 'we are going to recruit at an elite level and out talent most of the teams we play'. The issue with that is that recruiting is one of just 3 important pieces of building a program. The other 2 are player development and game prep/game day coaching. I don't think it was ever realistic to think we could recruit at an elite enough level to simply out talent the majority of our opponents. Even if you want to say GT had the 5th most talented roster in the ACC (which is debatable), the talent differential with the majority of ACC teams is simply not big enough that it was going to win any games by itself. It is going to require doing a better job in player development and in coaching to win games against the majority of our opponents. I think GT has the potential to be a consistent Top 25-Top 30 recruiting program - but I think that is the ceiling. I just don't see anything in the last 50 years of GT history to suggest anything higher than that is remotely attainable. The NIL may actually make this harder for GT as it has a smaller alumni base and smaller fanbase within that alumni base that care about GT sports to raise the money necessary to compete in an open money battle. IMO GT's best opportunity to be a solid football program again is to be a Top 30-40 recruiting school and then an above avg program in terms of both player development and coaching. What system you use is less important than how well the players are developed and taught the system and how well the coaching staff can coach against opponents on gameday. [/QUOTE]
