"It is not enough that I succeed: all others must fail." ~ Genghis Khan
You don't understand how Nick operates. He doesn't simply build his own empire in some vacuum somewhere. He attacks his foes on and off the field: takes their recruits, hires their staff, undermines their brand, attacks their program. He complains about the way they run their offenses and tries to get the rules changed. He seeks asymmetry with all others: systematic competitive advantages, exploited without apology. When a potential challenger emerges, he tries to impede their rise. He has the resources and institutional carte blanche to make all of this happen. Did Meyer's brain get fried at Florida all on its own, or did Nick push him over the edge by consistently targeting and stealing his recruits? And was that or was that not strictly intentional?
