[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 911780, member: 265"] Regarding Chadwell, I keep seeing disses about his recruiting. I thought that particular chestnut had been put to rest by the last 4 years. I think a winning program at Tech could average in the low 30s - high 20s in recruiting "rankings" over, say, a 10 year period; about the same as Wisconsin, iow. And Tech could win steadily and occasionally big with that kind of recruiting. Provided it is coupled with a coach who knows [I]why[/I] he recruited the players. Collins's biggest fault, imho, was that he tended to recruit players with high recruiting rankings without a clear idea of how they would be used. His staff had (and has) the same problem. What we need is a coach who a) has a clear idea of what kind of player he wants and why and b) can live within the Tech environment. That probably will not mean top 20 recruiting classes every year. (Shoot, it may be awhile before we see another year like that.) What it would mean is that once we got players on campus we would be sure that a) the coaches knew what to do with them and the players had a clear idea of their role and b) they would be players we could keep in school for their career. I don't know the coach who can do that will be. I think Chadwell would fit the bill, if he is willing to come to Tech, but so would several others. We'll know soon enough. [/QUOTE]
