Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1542352, member: 2585"] I'm not sure what you expected? Big, big names won't come here because they'll have better opportunities... Slightly more money, recruiting base closer by, "name" school. I have zero problem with being a place that hires a guy who makes 500,000 at his last stop. If the guy turns out to be homerun, you see what you have to do to retain him. My counter to the whole notion that we are a stepping stone school would be - if a guy comes in and puts in the hard work to get us on track, and the trend line is such that a B1G or SEC powerhouse comes sniffing around: a.) that's a good problem to have and b.) why not us at that point? The path to the playoffs is not too hard for any P5 school. The coach invests here, our AD invests in the guy and the infrastructure (IPF/Dome/gameday exp/fund raising) ... We're just beaten down by 20 years of crappy or mediocre coaches to think it's impossible. [/QUOTE]
