[QUOTE="Roswellgoldmember, post: 952985, member: 1933"] I agree mostly but I think we all collectively exaggerate the talent that we had on the 2008/2009 teams at least compared to the teams that we were playing. For one, I am not sure that all of those players would of been legends on the flats without Johnson coaching them. I actually think that the job that Johnson did those first few years was some of the best coaching that I've ever seen at GT but it seems to be remembered as him having inherited an elite roster that he didn't' screw up. That point aside, we had 9 future NFL players on the 2008 roster less than most P5 teams we played that year. I loved all of those players and some others too who didn't end up playing in the NFL. That being said and I am trying to be very respectful of those teams which i loved but we were 2 deep with 2 and 3 star players at most positions. Here are the rivals recruiting rankings for the 5 classes that proceeded Johnson's arrival: 2003: 50th 2004: 56th 2005: 62nd 2006: 57th 2007: 18th AVG: 46.6 The 5 classes proceeding Collins: 2014: 47th 2015: 39th 2016: 67th 2017: 41th 2018: 53rd AVG: 49.4 BTW I agree that Key likely has an easier transition than Collins but I think that we gloss over the transition that CPJ made and how successful it was.
