Sorry, I wasn't implying Miles would recruit at the same level, what I meant was Miles would have a greater impact on recruiting than the South End Zone.
And I agree, I would rather offer Chip Kelly a truckload of money, and I bet Nike and Oregon would too. Our 75 million is nothing compared to Nike's damn near Billion dollar investment in Oregon. They wanted Bama type recruits, what they got was 70 points put on them by Washington.
The investment worked for Kelly because recruits bought into Kelly's big time offense. Without him, the big west coast recruits aren't choosing Oregon.
Florida can say they have a great football facility, but the truth is they just built it last year. Before that, they practiced indoors in a parking garage (not exactly a yacht), yet Spurrier recruited his azz off.
Don't get me wrong, I want the south end zone project done because it looks cool and I believe the football program deserves it. But just like Iowa's 50 Million dollar project, I don't think it will change recruiting. Now replace the DB coach with Joker Phillips, and that will get a bump in recruiting

Like it or not, we have to give these coaches a couple of years b4 we really know if they can recruit and if they can coach. Facilities can help, coaches are more important. If we were in Miami it might not matter as much.
BO has been fairly clear that he wants to compete for championships and a scheme that's more sophisticated than a high school scheme has to be part of that. He's not just changing the scheme, he's changing the culture which is gonna take more than 5 games. They keep taking things out to simplify it, but I'm starting to wonder if we are Dline and simple scheme U.
So do you give up and dump the scheme for better games in the short run? Do you try to phase it in (if that's possible)? Do you stick with it until they get it? All questions I bet the coaches ask themselves on a weekly basis. I don't see any signs of arrogance or incompetence. Change is not easy. For the fans as much as the players.
