I have claimed for years that football is 40% recruiting, 40% coaching and 20% the individual players' willingness to do whatever it takes to be the absolute best they can be. That formula explains how coaches like Bill Snyder are deadly against teams supposedly much better on paper. It also explains how a team like Oklahoma can manage to fuck up at least one game every year when at least one of the ingredients creates a glaring weakness. And look at Texas. When the coaching ability or the talent level or the players' attitudes don't come up to UT standards, they suffer tremendously. It's the same everywhere. If you put all three ingredients together at the right time and all three reach a high level at the same time, then any school can have an elite season.
Listen to Goldbug. He was the only one on here who said Strong was the wrong hire and would be fired within 3 years.
