With the current NIL / Transfer Portal system, it really does not matter who our head football coach is. We will see limited success. Might as well not break the bank hiring someone that we think can fix this.
This is not even remotely true, depending on what you mean by "limited success."
If you'd have said "we will see limited
sustained success," then yes, that's most likely. Welcome to just about every program in the nation.
The parameters for success in CFB have changed, but it's still more than possible to play Moneyball with the NIL/portal system and win 7+ games every year while sustaining a baseline of under-the-radar 3-stars, which is what every one of our best teams did. You just need an enterprising coach who can see the underlying picture, craft a vision and execute.
And the only reason why I say "limited" is because if we do get that coach, he's not staying.
In other words, the Georgia Method won't work for us, obviously, like it won't work for 95% of FBS. But there
is a blueprint for success in this system that exists. And to me, "success" means having a visible pathway toward a Big 12 title in November year-over-year and continually being in the discussion for a playoff spot. Beyond that will depend on how well the team gels. Because once you get into the playoff, all bets are off.
