Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 794913, member: 289"] Barry Switzer won three national championships at Oklahoma and the Super Bowl with the Cowboys. At no time have I ever thought or posted that any of our coaches should be compared to Vince Lombardi. I do think that some coaches are better than others and that their success rate and the relationships they and their staff develop with the recruits and players is more important in terms of both recruiting and developing talent than the square footage of the weight room. I think P-D's problems began with missed opportunities, one-sided defeats and upset losses that caused recruits to wonder if they wanted to play for them. It will be interesting to see if Indiana, with their lousy history, suddenly starts drawing in 5 star recruits with their new weight room. Even if they do, they will still need a good coaching staff to achieve real success. [/QUOTE]
