Duh

 

[Ron Swanson]

We will have much better results once we start winning football games again.

 

[GBO128]

We should have had a better coach

 

[GBOVOLS]

If we win 7 games and a bowl we will see the rewards of that

 

[TTownVOL90]

Winning cures all woes

Ohio state didn't spend much at all and went undefeated

 

[gardners_51609]

As our instate talent continues to improve I feel our results will improve as well.

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

I feel sorry for NC and Army they spend all that money and still suck...

 

[Milehigh_Vol]

The reason we spent so much is we had to play catch up because we was so far behind..

 

[Giveem6]

We should have had a better coach

Yeah we should had gruden (sarcasm)

It's easy to win with a schedule full of patsies like they had...

Ole Miss and Auburn spent more then that last year but I guess under table money did not count.

Army won two games against Air Force and Boston Collage..

Agree. This is true as long as the staff can land the best.

We have a 6+ million population state that UT does not dominate in recruiting, with only Vandy as a marginal competitor in-state. MS, AL, SC, KY all have multiple major competing programs in their states - yet we have more population than any of them. LSU dominates theirs with only marginal competitors, but has 1.5 million less people to pull from. Time to fix this and cut out the excuses.

Does this money status include those $1000 handshakes at places like UK, Bama and elsewhere....?lol:

My thoughts exactly

Is Ohio state in the SEC?

Instead of Spending all that cash, how bout doing like "Others" and giving it to 5 stars? Works for them.

 

[AbarVolfan15]

At least it shows that UT is doing everything they can financially to return to the top.

 

[SmokeySC]

Tenn making it rain .... word .

 

[Cyclopskiller]

Whatever happened to getting what you paid for?

That is not the point. The point was that it is easier to recruit to a program that is winning.

Ohio also produces more talent than TN right now. Ohio HSFB is typically one of the top 5 for 4/5* players.

Interestingly... Meyer didn't do all that well in OH this year. If UT starts winning, the Vols should cut him out of GA too.
