GatorTAG;n235270 said:Forget about who was loaded and underperformed and tell me the last time a National Champion won with a roster full of average players that over performed because they're coaching was so good.
It's not about the X's and O's, it's all about the Jimmy's and Joe's.

GatorTAG;n234859 said:My concern with McElwain right now is that he's recruiting like he's still at CSU. As usual you can't count the first recruiting class for a coach that just got here. But every time we've had a coaching transition they killed it the second year. I've never seen us take this many 2 and 3 star kids. Winning will help his cause but I don't see him making a huge turn-around this year like Spurrier or Meyer did in their second year. And since he's filling up with average players it's going to make each following year that much tougher.
I don't totally agree with this. On paper Ole Miss and the Great Hugh Freeze should have beat TCU handily in their bowl game last year. On paper Miss. State should have beat GT in their bowl game. FSU had recruited much better than Oregon yet the Ducks spanked that ass. Are you telling me OSU has better players than Bama? Many say nobody has recruited better than Bama in the last 6 years...Should Mizzou have won the East 2 years in a row with their recruiting rankings over the last few years???GatorTAG;n235270 said:It's not about the X's and O's, it's all about the Jimmy's and Joe's.
I doubt many of us after the 2004 season thought we would win one in 2006. I doubt many Auburn fans saw 2010 coming either. If Mac can coach there is no way U of F is ever more than 2 years away from a NC.MJMGator;n235305 said:If you're expecting a NC in the next few years then you're going to be sorely disappointed
Then how do you explain Milan High School winning the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship?GatorTAG;n235270 said:It's not about the X's and O's, it's all about the Jimmy's and Joe's.
Pretty much all of the top qbs are committed elsewhere.Gator Fever;n235227 said:Doubt a real top qb recruit will come this class looking at our situation.

Simple. Merle was open on the other side of that picket fence.oxrageous;n235399 said:Then how do you explain Milan High School winning the 1954 Indiana state basketball championship?
