Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1576972, member: 837"] No I agree with that distinction. I think where I disagree is that in terms of coaching there are two pretty simple truths -- they need to pay to get their no. 1 guy and they need a really good guy. The latter could probably be true of anywhere but I look at a UCF playing in the AAC and recruiting in Florida -- get a good recruiter in there and potentially you could make some bowls based on pure talent alone. Regardless, the former is the key one -- if you are absolutely marginalized as a program and have suffered through 15 literally non-descript years with paltry attendance, no hint of excitement in the community about the program, etc., you need to get your guy. Want to renovate the dome instead of start over? Fine. Want to cut corners here and there on facilities? Fine. Whatever, but I really think they have to go spend to hire their guy when it comes to the head coach. [/QUOTE]
