Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 3575728, member: 2531"] This blew my mind (and still blows my mind). IMHO, our system is either a gimmick or lives and dies by talent. I know Briles developed it to address talent gaps, which it did really well, but I think it worked so well because it was unique and nobody was prepared for. Now everyone on the planet is ready for it, so we're left with an approach that decreases the role of luck in deciding games, which hurts the less talented team. In theory, high reps and highlights should lead to better recruiting, which would moot the talent gap, and I genuinely thought we had an opportunity to sell that vision when we were on our way to 10 wins and a #13 ranking. However, there was no discernable uptick. I'm not sure if we got unlucky, lazy, or if we just didn't have the right stuff to recruit, but we can't let another opportunity like that (such as a renovated Dome) slip through our grasp again.
