because we spent $15MM. The rest of the SEC spent way more than us. We are Vandy now circa 1980. We arent spending like the rest of the SEC doesQuote:

Doesnt make sense to me.
But what you?re missing is that in this era of college football non traditional schools are out talenting their way to wins and the playoffs. And they are doing it by buying rosters.Quote:

How does every thread turn into Q just rambling about we were talented enough to be 7-5. Dude typing a bunch of words over and over do not make you right, rest your bell
It absolutely matters who your coach is. Good players have overcome bad coaching sometimes, but you're still seeing good coaches outperform their talent level and bad coaches underperform over the course of seasons and longer.Quote:

There are numerous playoff teams that didn't spend 25 million unh?Quote:

**** C34, give it a rest. We know State is poor. Unless some alumni hits the life lottery and invents the cure for cancer, we will not consistently have 25mm+ rosters every year. It?s just not financially feasible to rely on the limited millionaire boosters we have to continue doing that
Tulane didn?t.Quote:

Bottom line: more money will help but we need better value from what we're already spending.Quote:
