That’s one of the most concerning things about this entire thing. Even our best recruiters (Jimmy, Malloe, Huff, Junior) are getting their shits pushed in.

Pete was a killer and if you typed in bets coach’s son CFB on Google, he was right at the top of pretty much every list. The ones that don’t think that didn’t help us in recruiting were delusional.

OKG is racist! It keeps us from landing good recruits, we need a younger, cooler coach.

By far the dumbest narrative that was ever peddled on this site... went hand in hand with classifying black players into different categories (we were recruiting the wrong classification of black person)

This site is great for critiques on UW football and life in general, but many of the best critics who have good insight as to the program's failings also the ones who have the absolute dumbest ideas about how to enact positive change.

It was TBS obsession mixed with academia. Not everything needs to be a study. Work blended into recruiting which needs no study at all. Get good players and develop them.

A charismatic (and also very fucking strange) internet personality convinced people that it was a problem because he’s smarter and wittier than they are.

Looking at that second paragraph. Take out the word internet and I feel like you just described David Koresh.

Whoa.

Recruiting matters ... far more than you often give it credit for.

Are there reasons to believe that development is important ... absolutely.

If you want an area to hold onto for optimism, the 2021 recruiting class is going to be one of the strangest ones on record because of the lack of Spring evaluations, no summer underwear Olympics, and quite possibly not having a high school season. Projections will mean a ton this year.

I think evidence suggests there are fewer programs that develop talent than there are programs that recruit.

The venn diagram of programs that do both successfully is:
Bama
Clemson
tOSU

We all realize it takes a balance of both to win big, but I think you TSIO boys underestimate the difficulty of finding coaches that develop kids.

Development absolutely matters

I’ve long been on record as saying the more you progress in a sport the more development, the mental side, etc becomes important

You also have to have the underlying physical attributes to get in the door though ... all the development, mental, etc is worthless if you physically can’t get the job done

people say all kinds of stupid things and trot out virtues that they want to see and normalize.

until there's a fire in the building and you're caught on your balcony facing a 50ft jump onto concrete or death by smoke inhalation and being roasted alive.

you want that 5"3 120lb firefighter who knows exactly what to do but stuggles to drag their equipment across the block? Or do you want to see a bunch of 6'3" 235lb fit guys busting down your door to drag your ass to safety?

the reality is that those guys are smart too and can get the job done ... the other person is just pretend.
