Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 4861117, member: 393"] Is it more about the Xs and Os or the Jimmy and Joes? Even as a former coach, I have leaned to the Jimmy and Joes as being more important. But there are examples everywhere, every year, at every level of guys losing with clearly better talent. There is a limit to the type of talent you can consistently recruit and retain at a program like Syracuse based on history. This is likely to continue until we start stacking winning seasons on winning seasons and getting more guys to the league. Maybe it's not so outlandish to take an admittedly big risk on a charismatic program builder who has won at every level he has coached and with programs that had less talent than competition when he arrived.
