Not with Charlies Fla HS powerhouse connections..at least for defensive players. With a really good offensive staff, he would kill it at UT. He is not able to get those kids to UL, but that is not a fair assessment of his recruiting of defensive player abilities.

He recruits good offensive players too. Teddy Bridgewater etc.
 
I never ever said that. We spend the most on recruiting for a reason. It's needed. However we can no longer rely on tradition anymore because of how bad we have been. Hire right UT is ok, hire wrong, and we may never be good again

Have you guys considered how similiar we are to ND? When we suck it takes a lot longer to come back because of our national recruiting dependance. But when we get a good recruiting coach that gets us rolling, we are really good for a while. People were saying a couple of years ago that NDs star had fallen to far, and they were never going to regain prominence.....WRONG! All it takes is the right coach.

100% agree. Best comparison to UT around
 
Not like it really matter whether it be Strong or Gruden ill still be a fan.

Would be interesting to see who Strong brought in to run his Defense though...
 
Could be but he wont be to far from the highlight reel...

Reggie bush was a walking highlight reel at USC..in the league...not so much. Bush>Patterson. Highlights are great, but it is what happens between those moments that is the difference in a flash in the pan, and a superstar.
