Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

    I'll let you know in four or five years! Time will tell! Either way it will be interesting!

    If only there were some way to predict how classes will turn out.
    Why even play the games at all? We can determine championships based on gold stars being handed out! The Ducks are back!

    Take it to the 'Alabama is doing it the wrong way' bored.
    Let's hire Sark as their head coach and see what happens to all that talent.
    You might like to read this: https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/nick-saban-changed-college-footballs-recruiting-culture

    I'll summarize: Saban thinks recruiting is the most important thing he does.

    I'll summarize the relevance to this bored: Pete is much closer to Saban than to Sark.

    I will do some extra math for you:

    If you don't think recruiting matters, you are wrong.

    If you are arguing 'what matters more' then you are a fucking idiot who doesn't understand simple path models of causation.

    Most fucking Americans are so fucking retarded they cannot even conceptualize a world in which an outcome can have more than one variable affecting it... but it turns out...

    WAIT FOR IT




    WAIT FOR IT






    WAIR FOT IW






    WAIT... JUST A LITTLE LONGER...

















    WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!!! WOAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOW!!!!











    I can't remember who it was(recruiting coordinator?) that either came from Georgia to our staff or went to Georgia from our staff but they said we essentially recruit using a similar process. One of the differences being that Peterman tries to be even more personal in the process which inevitably means fewer offers.

    Georgia TBS's well
    Where are the fucking championships? I'll wait...
    Are you talking about Georgia specifically that just missed the championship in OT after being irrelevant forever? Then got a good recruiter and was suddenly a play away from a national title.

    Or were you talking about teams that recruit using that same Alabama system who have won 6 out of the last 10 championships.

    You just trolling at this point.
    Georgia has always had talent. Where are the fucking championships? Answer the fucking question!

    The forecast is always wrong.

    Rule fucking one.

    WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT NICK SABAN WITH GREAT RECRUITING CLASSES WOULD WIN?!?! WHO!?!?!

    WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED IT?!?!?!

    What a shame for you that non-perfect prediction means that everything is meaningless.

    What a shame for you that gas dynamics is not nearly as complicated as projecting football games.

    WHAT A SHAME FOR ALL OF US TO LIVE IN A TIME WHERE IT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE!!!

    I'm sure you're right. I'm sure none of this matters...

    Oh wait. Everyone who cares about winning football as a job thinks it's the most important thing they do.

    But they are probably wrong and you are right.

    Oh - wait hold on - I'm being told that the SECOND ORDER relationship between coaches evaluations and recruiting rankings are strong enough to generate a good predictive model.

    SORRY J!!!
    Disagree. Nick Saban could get by a bus tomorrow. Bet your model doesn't account for THAT.

    This is a vote for talent right? The coaching was abysmal.

    Are we arguing nature vs nurture on tsio bored? Sorry, but I come here to poorly handle the ups and downs of recruiting along with other unstable adults, and I was told there would be no math.

    Last SERIOUS post from me (since I'm right and I know it...fuck you).

    Dennis thinks we can predict outcomes based on simple correlation. He didn't pass my stats class. He's wrong. I'm right, as always. Simple fact.

    If we compare football talent to musical selection, the answer is obvious. Styx sucks and was out in the first round. My Zeppelin won the whole fucking thing. Ergo ipso facto dennis is fucking stupid and I am right.

    Checkmate bitch.

    Styx didn't really belong and normally would have gotten a bid to the Classic Rock NIT. But there were political considerations to consider, so there you have it.

    Hitler had a lot of 5* recruits.

    He also had a LOT of 6* recruits. He squandered that talent.

    If only the state of Washington would get off it's fucking ass and allow UW to do the type of genetic engineering we're going to need to get 6* recruits, we would get somewhere.

    FUCK THE GOVT.

    I know this is a hyper complicated model, but it isn't actually describing a correlational model. I can see where you'd get confused.

    Just to replace the terms for you:

    Independent Variable = Recruiting Success
    Moderator = Coaching
    Dependent Variable = Winning
