"I'm convinced that in a football league with Louisville, Rutgers, Boise State and South Florida, UConn is never going to be the top tier in raw talent. That means it must be top-tier in coaching and development."

This.

He goes on to talk about personality. Results matter, not personality. Does Saban have a great personality? Belichik? Plenty of winners have ****ty personalities.

UConn was never tops in talent, but had solid (not great) coaching and very good development. If we can get that back, plus a little something extra, we can be right back where we were...or better.

I basically agree fully with the statement (philosophically JJ nails it) but when did Idaho become a football talent hotbed? Boise St is more evidence than anything else could be that quality coaching (including player development) can neutralize a major disadvantage, such as not being located in fertile recruiting territory.

Slay 3 in his honor - jesus its 2012. you don't know what college was like in the early/mid 90s.

You should have seen it in the late '70's - early '80's.

Been saying the same thing for years. The right coach wins anywhere. Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Mike Price at Washington State. Need to find that coach that pushes you into the top 25, and leads you to double digit wins.
