Coaching will only take you so far if you don't have talented players

KingDave

And talent will only take you so far if you're a moron as a coach

That describes Lane Kiffin

KingDave

1/28/16 3:59pm

You are completely wrong, Kiffin is well regarded as a brilliant offensive

Helm Hammerhand

As OC, yes. HC...that's a different story (which was probably KingDave's point).

Gary won a NC at LSU, did you miss that?

Sounds like Dave Rice at UNLV (but not a moron)

Not sure the talent at UNLV is as good as people think it is

There are also coaches that get great recruits that don't do much, but for the

will muschamp is apparently one of these guys.

Both are critical. There is no excuse for Broncos

Developing HS talent into really good college players is the real challenge.

i actually think kalani has a good record of putting guys in the league.

Sitake has clearly still done some of that.

I was waiting for someone to bring up the "top 25 class" stuff.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I believe Bronco was very effective

RalphWiggam

His problem was getting guys with a higher

He was great using Crowtons recruits

Big catch though is that recruiting success depends a lot on winning. I think

QBarrister

why then did we destroy texas 2 years in a row when they have superior talent?

DoidoCougar

1/28/16 4:29pm

We had Taysom's superior talent, that was more superior than anyone they had

RaggaeCoug

1/28/16 4:33pm

Texas was a mess. That wasn't just Hill.

southernfriedcougar

1/28/16 4:37pm

The same Taysom Hill, who by the way, was NOT recruited out of High School

TheLoneCougar

Players win games....

nitroboy

1/28/16 7:02pm

Agreed. Its no surprise that the NC teams always have high recruiting classes.

RaggaeCoug

1/28/16 4:31pm

With the HC in place, can we improve recruiting enough to make a big difference?

jkccoug

Yes. To make it to championship caliber? No.

James Fraklin at Penn State wishes this was the case.

Some coaches squeeze out more talent than others (Harbaugh, Meyer)

Of course it is. Anyone that knows anything about CFB says so.
